Richie Rich Posted February 22, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted February 22, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted February 22, 2022 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Rich Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
