About Hard Guitar Cases
Hard guitar cases provide the highest level of protection for your instrument, making them the preferred choice for touring musicians, frequent travellers, and anyone needing long-term storage security. At SWAMP, we stock a wide selection of hard cases to suit electric, acoustic, classical, and bass guitars, with models designed for specific body shapes and sizes.
Hard cases are generally built with either ABS plastic or plywood construction:
- ABS cases are lightweight and durable. They absorb impact effectively, protecting the guitar inside even if the case itself is damaged. This makes them ideal for regular travel or longer transport periods.
- Plywood cases are heavier but offer superior structural strength. They're more resistant to crushing or deformation, making them suitable for demanding conditions like touring or air travel.
Most hard cases feature:
- Plush-lined interiors that cradle your guitar and reduce movement
- Reinforced edges and latches for added durability
- Internal neck and accessory compartments for storing tuners, strings, and more
- Lockable hardware for added security
When selecting a hard case, ensure it matches your guitar's body style—such as dreadnought acoustic, strat-style electric, or offset bass—as cases are shaped to fit specific contours. Some universal-fit models are available but always check dimensions carefully.
For players looking for dependable, long-lasting protection, hard guitar cases remain the most secure and reliable option.
