Hardcase-kofferter, gig-vesker og gitarstativer

Guitar cases and gig bags protect instruments during storage and transport, shielding them from impacts, temperature changes, and humidity fluctuations. They range from lightweight padded gig bags for short trips to heavy-duty hardshell and flight cases for touring and shipping. Proper protection is essential, as guitar repairs from transport damage can be extremely costly.

History

Early guitar cases were simple wooden boxes lined with fabric, often custom-built by the guitar manufacturer. Fender and Gibson began including fitted hardshell cases with their instruments in the 1950s, setting a standard for the industry. Modern gig bags with thick padding and ergonomic backpack straps became popular in the 1990s as musicians sought lighter, more portable alternatives.

Characteristics

Hardshell cases use rigid materials (wood, ABS plastic, or fiberglass) with plush interiors to absorb shock and protect against crushing. Gig bags feature padded nylon or polyester with varying levels of cushioning, typically from 10mm to 25mm. Flight cases add reinforced corners, TSA-approved locks, and impact-resistant construction rated for airline baggage handling.

Notable Players

SKB and Gator are the leading manufacturers of hardshell guitar cases, trusted by touring professionals worldwide. Mono Cases revolutionized the gig bag market with their patented Boot design that protects the headstock from the most common point of impact. Calton Cases are handmade, premium fiberglass cases favored by top acoustic guitarists for their superior climate and impact protection.

Buying Guide

A hardshell case is recommended for any guitar worth more than a few hundred dollars, especially for travel and gigging. For daily commuting, a quality gig bag with at least 20mm of padding and a reinforced headstock zone offers the best balance of protection and convenience. Ensure the case fits your guitar model snugly; a guitar rattling inside a too-large case receives less protection than one in a well-fitted bag.

Fun Facts

Guitar cases have famously appeared in movies as disguised weapon containers, most notably in "Desperado" and "From Dusk Till Dawn." Vintage original cases from 1950s and 1960s Fender and Gibson guitars can sell for $500-$1,500 on their own, even without a guitar inside.
