Richie Rich Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Can anybody recommend a case or a gigbag for a thinline acoustic guitar? Google keeps bringing up SKB cases but they're too rich for my blood, I'm looking for something that's easier on the pocket. Quote
Matt P Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 which guitar is this? (one person's definition of thinline is different to another's) I have a 335 copy (a very early Tanglewood) and i went for the Hiscox case, it's not the cheapest option but i've seen so many broken Gibson style headstocks that i consider it a worthwhile investment. I bought my case from ebay used for about 50 quid i think, they pop up regularly enough if you're prepared to be patient. this is the same as the one i have Hiscox Liteflite Case To Fit 335 Type Guitar | eBay I must say that Hiscox are always my number one chioce, the few instruments i own that don't have Hiscox cases are the ones where they don't make a suitable case (Banjo and a couple of 3/4 sized travel guitars as well as ukes) Matt Quote
Matt P Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 i've just had a quick search on guitarchat and have seen your post about the guitar (i'm assuming it's the gear4music one) I would have described this more as a compact electro-acoustic rather than a thinline (which is more usually used to describe a hollow electric guitar in my experience) the case i ,linked above will not fit, the hiscox designed for APX guitars would be the best fit but as this is a budget guitar i guess that even a 60 quid case is possibnly too expensive (these do pop up for sale on ebay and Facebook marketplace and i have picked up Hiscox cases for as little as 30 quid in the past) I would look for one of the rigid foam cases probably, Gear4music might offer one as an option, if you take a few measurements (upper bout, lower bout, body thickness and length and total guitar length) then you should be able to match it so a suitable case.

ezbass Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I don’t know if they would be suitable, but I’m impressed with my TourTech hard case and would hope their gigbags are as good. https://www.andertons.co.uk/acoustic-dept/acoustic-guitar-accessories/gig-bags-for-acoustic-guitars?#facet:30744573456166766758411111711411610199104&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& 1 Quote
Richie Rich Posted February 22, 2022 Author Posted February 22, 2022 I have two and they are both Gear4music (trust me when I say that their own brand guitars are good, they outperform their price tag IMHO). I do have a lightweight padded case for each of them but they are very lightweight and a loud fart could do damage through them. Thanks for the input guys, I'll keep on looking, something will crop up. Quote
