Which Fender hardcase to buy?

The Dali · 10-30-2009, 11:43 AM

Looking to pickup a Strat case... your suggestions?

I was able to sell a few things to get the scratch together for a nice vintage Fender hardcase for my USA Standard Stratocaster. With that said - which one to pick!?!?! What do you think?

What color is the strat?

I've always had a thing for the black tweed with black lining. Looks classy.

In that case I'd go with the black/red, both guitars will look good in it.

Brown and orange

+1 to that

I've got a 'tweed-look' vinyl-covered case with a brownish plush lining that originally came with a Washburn Strat-style guitar. It's made in Canada, and is a nice case (although not quite like brand new) to be almost twenty years old. Externally, it is nearly perfect, but the padding inside is getting a tiny bit mushed down; it is still a great case, and it's made in North America!
I'd sell it for $50 plus shipping.
PM me if you are interested.

I like the new SKB that come with the standards these days. 90$ on ebay. light, strong & easy to open. Cat can't claw the shit out of it.

From those choices I went with black tweed. As a matter of fact I bought one a few weeks ago as well as a brown tweed with a red interior. Both are very sharp looking and I like them very much.
At first I ordered the brown you linked earlier but didn't realize it was a tolex. Returned it and got this one instead. Very happy.

The tweed - in my opinion - gets dirty too quickly. Plus, the "tweed" gets caught on stuff and pulls out.

I am now also looking at the SKB Fender cases - the new ones that come with the American Standards. The G&G cases are great... I'm just wondering if they are worth $150.

I had a 20% off coupon from Musician's friend, net cost on each was just over $100 and shipping was free. And that price I won't complain.
