Electric Guitar Cases are portable containers designed for carrying, protecting or safely
storing an Electric Guitar. The exterior shell of the case can be soft, hard or a
combination of both. Soft cases, also known as Gig Bags, are usually made of polyester,
nylon or other synthetic material. These usually feature a zipper enclosure, an outside zipper pocket, carrying handles and occasionally, backpack straps. They are
lightweight and easy to carry. Hard cases have casing frames made of polyethylene or
plywood veneer covered with leather, which allows the case to breath. Electric Guitar Cases usually have form-fitted interiors to prevent the instrument from moving inside the case. Hard cases are usually heavier than soft cases, but offer better protection against shock impacts. The hybrid cases are the most versatile. They look like Gig Bags but feature an ultra light laminated foam shell with strategically placed hard panels to provide extra protection. An accessory compartment inside a case is common.
