There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on personal preference. Some guitarists prefer hard cases because they offer more protection for the instrument, while others prefer soft cases because they are lighter and easier to carry. Ultimately, the best case for your guitar is the one that meets your needs and preferences.
A guitar can crack at any humidity, but the lower the humidity, the more likely it is to crack.
An electric guitar typically needs a hard case to protect it from the elements and from being jostled around. A hard case will also usually have a built-in humidifier to help keep the guitar's wood from drying out.
A guitar case is the best way to protect your instrument from humidity. By keeping your guitar in its case when not in use, you can be sure that it is protected from the elements.

This bag was purchased for my Martin 000rsgt. I have the hardshell case, but it's cumbersome to carry when I'm out with my son who has autism. He is a runner, therefore I find that carrying a bag makes it simpler for me to pursue him if he decides to run. In this comparison, I'll use my 3/4-size gig bag from the brand "World Tour." Let me first say that although the hola bag costs twice as much as the world tour bag, it has a larger capacity. Firstly, let's talk about the shoulder straps. The ones from the world tour are flimsy and feel a little cheap; even though they haven't yet, they could eventually rip. It feels much more secure, in my opinion, because the hola bag has some ingeniously placed tiny wings on the bottom of the bag where the straps meet. There will never be any unneeded tension where the strap attaches to the bag's body since the wings move. Additionally, the area where the straps attach at the top of the bag is well padded and thick, preventing shoulder strain. Both have a sizable front pocket that can contain roughly the same amount of rubbish, but the hola bag includes a second pocket that is located at the headstock and can accommodate a good amount of clutter. I'll go inside now. Basically some sturdy cloth is placed over the guitar in the world tour bag. Very little inside padding and protection. The hola bag is adequately padded for the price, albeit not significantly so. It has a neck block that velcros in place and feels strong. Even though it wasn't necessary, I added some more foam at the bottom with Velcro. It moved from fitting well to fitting snugly and perfectly. I'm quite happy with the bag, and even if anything terrible happens to it, it only cost $40. I have enough faith in it to convey my $1,000 Martin 000 at the end of the day.

The guitar case was neatly folded within when I opened the parcel after it had been delivered. Due to the creases and continual desire to fold in on itself, I was a little concerned. Once some time, it wasn't a problem after I laid it flat and straightened it out. The lines have disappeared. I found a really useful strap to stop the neck from moving around within the case as I tried to place the guitar inside. This is a great benefit, and I appreciate that feature. It was a little challenging at first when I tried to zip it up. The instrument was moved around and slightly repositioned before it easily zipped up. That provides me some peace of mind because it won't be moving inside needlessly. It fits just right! The exterior material appears to be of very high quality. If the guitar does fall, it probably won't damage the instrument because the interior material is soft and comfortable. Additionally, the bottom of the case features grips to prevent direct contact with the ground. My only concern is that I wish the neck were more inclined so that it would be more over my shoulders rather than immediately behind my head when it was strapped to my back. However, this is not actually a problem at all. If you choose to hold it in your hand rather than carry it on your shoulders, it also features a handle on the bottom side. This bag fits the description exactly, I like the way it looks, and all in all, it's a pretty great case!

This case is excellent for the price! It is a lovely case, but I wouldn't ship a guitar in it or let strangers handle it. I bought it for a Jackson Dinky, but because it's a long case, my Mockingbird fits in it just as readily. The sole drawback is that the neck bears all of the weight when the body is narrower, like in the case of a Gibson SG or a Mockingbird. No part of the body's back touches the case (I can only assume the neck support is so tall so it allows for headstocks that tilt back). The lid has a vertical seam that is visible, but as long as the user is treating their own equipment with care, it will function as intended. I just wish the headstock cavity had either a bigger storage area or some little partitions on either side.***UPDATE*** Seven months later, the case is still able to protect the device adequately, but the exterior is beginning to show indications of wear and tear. I've hauled the case once or twice a week from home to practice, and I wasn't particularly careful with it. The purchase is still worthwhile, but I wouldn't put a pricey guitar in it.

I was hesitant to buy this purse and experienced some buyer's remorse after doing so. I had a great deal of queries and worries. But now that my bag has finally arrived, I want to share my comments in order to ease any potential buyers' concerns about choosing this gig bag.#1 - Size. Numerous reviewers bemoaned the extremely tight fit and the fact that occasionally their guitars did not fit at all. My guitar fit wonderfully, which came as a pleasant surprise. None of the zippers required any pulling or effort to close. Even though my guitar has a strap, this wasn't a problem. A Les Paul Special II is mine. This means that the Les Paul junior and any other Les Paul Epiphone guitars of a size similar to it will fit perfectly.Second, padding I was quite concerned that this bag would be nothing more than a dust cover with no padding at all. In reality, this is in no way the case. I feel like my investment is well secured and there is a decent amount of cushioning. I'm certain that my guitar will be protected against dents and dings no matter where I store it—around the home, in a guitar store, or at a friend's house. Does this bag provide the same level of security as a hard case or a Roadrunner? Without a doubt, no. Would I feel secure dropping my instrument down a flight of stairs or into the cargo compartment of a tour bus? No way. But it is appropriate for a daily store and carry.#3 - Looks. In comparison to the bag I received, the logo in the image above is considerably larger and positioned differently. The Epiphone logo on my bag is on the neck, but it is much smaller and less prominent. Both versions appear to be quite well-crafted.It features straps on the back that you can use to sling your guitar and carry it like a backpack. A small front zippered pocket for picks and a tuner is also included.The price is SOOO worth it for this bag. It has a wonderful appearance and excellent construction. I'm extremely thrilled that my epiphone backpack matches my priceless guitar. Don't take up this book if you are on the fence about it. It is worthwhile.

I wanted to avoid paying the close to $70 to $90 for the ones I was finding when seeking for a soft bag for my mountain dulcimer. A search turned up this one, and I ordered one because it was the right size and only cost a little over $18. It works perfectly with my dulcimer. This bag fits the 35"-tall dulcimer well.The bag is a fantastic option for many various instruments, including guitars and dulcimers, and it is nicely crafted and padded. I anticipate it will last a very long time because of how wonderfully it is manufactured. This is a fantastic option if you require a dulcimer bag, a bag for a 3/4 to 7/8 classical, or a mini-strat, and it offers outstanding value for the money! As with all generics, be sure the dimensions of the bag match the size of your instrument before making a purchase. My 35" dulcimer fits very perfectly despite the listing indicating an interior length of 34".

This package came today. It was for a Schecter Custom Solo II that I had recently acquired from GC's used area but didn't come with a case. Although it's a wonderful instrument, I decided to buy this one after reading reviews because I didn't want to spend the $200 on an OEM case.Before the 1990s, this case served as the industry standard hard shell case for all (Most) electric guitars, which is where I really want to start my evaluation. The most typical case sold today is still that one. They actually sell for $150 to $200 instead of 57 dollars.The case weighs just over 14 pounds and is substantial and weighty. This case is made of wood, not chipboard, which is just cheap cardboard. In terms of how cases progress, it is therefore in the middle. Although not as good as coated fiberglass or carbon fiber, chipboard and plastic are unquestionably better. The wood is on the heavier side and 1/4 inch thick. Wood cases are available in two wood thicknesses, 3/8ths and 1/4 inch; pre-carbon fiber casings were available in the same thicknesses. The case's outer material is flawless and perfect in every way. In fact, it is superior to some of the cases I've purchased for pricey guitars that cost considerably more.Very great appearance. It is not all black; instead, it includes two white strips on either end, as well as chrome hardware for the four "legs" and the handle. Visually, the casing is quite attractive.The material inside is similar to the case that came with a Fender MIM Strat that I purchased. The tolex on the outside is typical. It does have a thickly cushioned inside for the guitar body and a padded neck groove inside (Shoulders or horn padding is one inch thick and not Styrofoam, more like rubber which is another plus). Additionally, there is a pad that extends about 3/4 of the length of the case and serves to retain the guitar in the neck groove. The instrument is completely stationary. The accessory storage space is big. The accessory box is 14 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 3 inches deep. This box can accommodate a lot of "stuff," including picks, a strap, extra strings, and perhaps even one or two miniature pedals. Since they all have the same depth, you won't be purchasing any hard shell cases in this setup if depth is a concern. The interior stitching is beautifully concealed and appears excellent. It is an extremely lovely case on the inside. In addition, Walmart sells Styrofoam blocks for a quarter, a piece of cloth for a $1, and a bottle of guerilla glue is only $4 if someone isn't happy with the neck cutout's reliable holding power.I contrasted the latches on this case with those on a Takamine AE case and a regular Fender case. the same studs, locks, and metal thickness. Since the case and hardware are identical, if Tak and Fender branded cases are regarded as high quality, then so is this.This exterior earns five stars. This receives five stars inside. It receives five stars for both hardware and aesthetics.The handle is the only drawback I can think of for this case, but I won't deduct any stars for it. The issue is that the handle hardware is the exact same handle hardware that comes on a Fender American Standard hard shell case, thus I have to infer that people who have problems about the handle don't possess a Fender American Strat. I also dislike those. Look, and you'll see that the handle hardware on this case and all cases is the same: an oval metal cutout with two ears on either side. The only real difference is the handle, which is made of plastic rather than leather. This can easily be fixed by wrapping the handle in leather or another material of your choice. Or simply get a different handle; an MP only costs $2. And for the majority of folks, the handle won't matter a single bit because it performs its job just as is.Three desiccant packs were included in the case when it was received, and there was no smell at all. It was safely and effectively packaged, and FedEx delivered it one day earlier than anticipated.I'd repurchase this case, and I'm actually going to do so to house my Tele. Yes, I would unquestionably suggest this case.One small point that has nothing to do with the case itself is all I have to offer. Even though a Schecter Custom Solo II fits, there is some pressure on the headstock, so this case is not ideal for that guitar or other guitars with similar headstocks, like, say, an LP. However, that is unrelated to the case because Fender and other guitars of a similar design fit fine in it.

I AM SHOCKED AT THE OTHER REVIEWS THAT SAY THE ZIPPERS BROKE AS THE ZIPPERS SEEM TO BE OF HIGH QUALITY AND THE BAG SEEMS TO BE BUILT VERY STURDY AND HEAVY DUTY. THE NECK PAD IS GREAT AND HAS A VELCRO STRAP FOR THE NECK. I WISH IT HAD VELCRO STRAPS FOR THE BODY AS THE GUITAR TENDS TO SLIDE AROUND A BIT IN THE BAG AS IT'S AN ALL PURPOSE BAG. NOT A DEAL BREAKER BUT I WISH THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE CRADLING FOR THE GUITAR. MAYBE SOME MORE

Excellent value for the money, really sturdy guitar case. I purchased this case so that I could store my guitar while not in use and use it to transfer it to and from college in the back of a car. Even with the strap on, it fits my Classic Vibe Telecaster reasonably well. My main concern is that the padding doesn't fully secure the movement parallel with the neck, so it's still able to slide up and down in the case. The cushioning does, however, pressure the sides and the front face to prevent it from wobbling around. The edge of the tuning keys or the top of the headstock may be hit if it slides up too much, but it is probably not going to be a huge deal. I particularly like how the tweed style and the plush crimson internal padding have a vintage feel to it. Strings, straps, picks, and other nesecities can all fit in the inside compartment. Overall, a fantastic case for storing and protection on occasional travels, but if it's being moved daily, I'm not so sure about the construction holding up to that kind of use, especially if it's being jostled around or buried under a lot of other gear. Not at all for plane travel.
Leaving your guitar plugged in will not drain the battery. If you have an active guitar with onboard electronics, the battery will only be used when the guitar is turned on and in use. When the guitar is turned off, the battery will not be used.
If you're considering having your guitar refretted, you might be wondering if the process will damage your instrument. The good news is that, in most cases, refretting a guitar does not damage it. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, if your guitar has a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, it's important to know that the finish can be damaged during the refretting process. This is because the lacquer is soft and can be easily scratched. If you're concerned about your guitar's finish, you might want
When choosing an electric guitar case, consider the material it is made from, the size and weight of the case, and the type of guitar it will hold. Hard cases are typically made from wood or metal and offer the most protection for your guitar. Soft cases are usually made from nylon or canvas and are lighter and easier to carry. Choose a case that is the right size for your guitar and has padding to protect it from bumps and scratches.
There are many different types and sizes of guitar cases, so it can be tricky to know which one to buy. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a guitar case: -The type of guitar you have: acoustic, electric, etc. -The size of your guitar: full size, half size, etc. -Your budget: there are cases available at all price points. -Your needs: do you need a hard case, soft case, gig bag, etc? Once you've considered all of these factors, you should
A guitar case is an important investment for any musician. They protect your instrument from the elements and wear and tear. But how much should you spend on a guitar case? The answer depends on a few factors. The first is the value of your instrument. If you have a very expensive guitar, you'll want to get a top-of-the-line case to match. These can cost hundreds of dollars. The second factor is how often you'll be using the case. If you're a gigging musician who is constantly on the road, you'll want a
Yes, 55% humidity is too high for guitars. Guitars are made of wood, and when the humidity is too high, the wood can swell and warp. This can cause the strings to buzz, the action to be higher than normal, and the sound to be muffled.
