About Instrument Hard Cases
A hard case is the most reliable way to protect a musical instrument from bumps, drops and general wear, whether it travels to a gig every weekend or stays safely stored at home. The SWAMP range covers acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars, cellos and pedalboards, with cases built from durable wood or lightweight ABS plastic and finished with plush lined interiors that keep instruments secure and scratch-free. Many designs include internal compartments for leads, tuners, straps and other accessories.
These cases sit within our wider road cases range, alongside rack cases for 19 inch gear and mixer cases for consoles. We work directly with our factory to have the right case made for the instruments Australians actually play, so you get a proper fit without boutique pricing. Guitarists can also compare the dedicated guitar hard cases range, and pedalboard players will find boards to fill their new case in pedalboards.
Instrument Hard Case FAQs
What is the difference between a hard case and a flight case?
The terms overlap. A hard case is any rigid case with a protective shell and padded interior, while a flight case usually refers to heavier road-style cases built to survive freight and airline handling. For most gigging and home storage, a quality hard case is plenty.
Are wooden or ABS plastic cases better?
Wooden cases offer rigid, heavy-duty protection and suit instruments that are stacked or freighted. ABS plastic cases are lighter to carry while still protecting against knocks and weather, making them the practical pick for everyday transport.
Do you stock cases for cello and pedalboards?
Yes. Alongside guitar and bass cases, the range includes cello hard cases and pedalboard cases. A pedalboard case protects your pedals, wiring and power supply as one ready-to-play unit, while cello cases pair a rigid shell with a plush lined interior.
