I remember when the industry introduced soft cases and I bought one for my telecaster to make it easier getting around New York City on the subway. I think the first time using it I must have bumped it on a subway step and took a small chunk out of the body. I went back to the old hard case after that and never used a soft case again. Once you take a chunk out of your guitar, you never really love it the same way.

If you need a gig bag, I recommend the EVA soft case. It is perfect for carrying around and protects the instrument well.

That’s a really nice collection of cases. It’s weird how people keep putting guitars in those when they mail it to you, and you have to throw out the guitar to truly enjoy the case

If you need a good starter gig bag, my favourites are the rouge valley cases. You can get them at Long and McQuade.

All my guitars, acoustics and electrics have hard shell cases. I love the case that came with the Am Pro 2 Strat I got. For gigs, I think it's a must because every environment is different so protection is key. Also, I used to travel to Nashville a lot with my Collings acoustic. I always checked it in. The guitar in a hard shell case went into an oversized soft-case which I added one inch thick/dense foam all around it. Never had a problem although you always have those jitters as you open the case in your hotel room.

Hey Landon, I once heard Phil McKnight mentioning something like that Guitar Centre asked Squire to stop giving free cases as they would rather sell their own and increase their sales/profits.... Keep up the great videos:)

if the original box is sturdy its a great way to store your guitars. my preferred method is hardshell case. provides the best protection and a nice case shows off the instrument as well.

I bought a Revstar about a year ago. Great little guitar, I knew it came in a gig bag, I tried to pay extra for a hard case but couldn't get one.

Q: Why don't you get a hardshell guitar case with high end guitars anymore? A: For the same reason your vehicle is made mostly of plastic...to save the company money 🤷

I've not really thought much about it, and had to go count. I've got 4 soft cases and 2 hardshell cases. The one from G&L is a soft case that is really thick, really nicely made and my guitar does not move around inside. I really like that one because it's well made, sturdy and lite weight.

My guitars rarely leave the house. I have a Fender soft case and I feel comfortable using that. It's easy to store. If I take a guitar out I'm usually pretty cautious where/ how I place it. I highly agree that we don't get hard cases to save costs for the manufacturer. Wouldn't it be cool to pad a guitar then shrink wrap it in a hard plastic like ABS or Kydex? Maybe even molded carbon fiber?

I don't have cases for all my guitars. They stay home in a multi-guitar rack. Having lots of cases take a lot of space.

Yorkville cases from Canada are a great value. For a gig bag I found the Profile 906 Series to be outstanding for well under $100.

Personal preference and what works for me is Always, a hard shell case. As a player and collector this keeps the guitars dirt dust and sun free, and protected from damage. I often stack so the hard cases are a must for my needs. The Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker and Taylor guitars that were purchased. ALL came with hard shell cases, which is GREAT! PRS CE-24, came with a gig bag. I purchased an SKB hard shell of it. Surprising for the cost, a real disappointment. Many manufacturers are shipping with gig bags or nothing. Just gotta research before you purchase. This is just my opinion on this subject. Have several gig bags, just for contestant players that I use and keep on a multiple stand up rack, but when I switch them back, they go right back in a hard shell. Thank you LANDON, for the Always entertaining and informative content!👍⭐️🙏

I'd really like to see you review a Harmony guitar, particularly the Silhouette. They come with a very high end case/gig bag.

One of the other comments mentioned MONO M80 case / gig bag. MONO has to be the leader in guitar cases as I have seen some pretty radical demonstrations on the quality and durability of their cases. The price point is way above some of the better known hard shell cases but I was so convinced of their quality I bought 2 of them. Additionally you can purchase the Tick which is an extra storrage bag that attaches to the upper portion of the case and inside of the case is a 10 inch long top and bottom cradle for the guitar neck. So that's my 2 cents...

Ok, I also think you should get a free case with a guitar. I'm glad you showed what you use for an offset guitar like the Jazzmaster. I put mine in a 'baggy' but I like the hybrid cases that are like soft but also solid. The one you showed with the extra compartments would be good considering I don't have a lot of money to put to a case and I'm not touring across the country. Two guitars I have my eye on come with cases. 1. the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul 2. The fender "Jimmy Page Dragon" telecaster. They come with some nice case candy especially the JP tele that comes with an orange old school twisty cable. I do think Yorkville makes good cases for the money.

The best value in general for a gig bag is a PRS. The best cases cheap are from the Canadian company TKL that have an on-line store. The same factory has made cases for Gibson for years. A made in Canada tag is sewn onto the lining.

I got my fender worked on at a guitar shop.. When they were done with it I put it back in my soft case and zipped it up. Decided to stick around for a bit and while I was looking at guitars the shop owner (the guy that just finished tuning my guitar) didn't know why there was a gig bag sitting there so he opened it up to see what it was. Thing is he forgot to zip it back up. So when I was on my way out I put the guitar behind my shoulder and it fell out and smashed against the hard wood floor. Big piece of plastic (paint?) fell off. He admitted to forgetting to zip it back up. He took sandpaper to it to make it look like it was worn LOL. Luckily that was the only damage but it went from mint to not mint REALLY fast. Always check to see if it's zipped up.

I have 5 guitars, on a multi stand, 2 gig bags one fender & an El Cheapo.... plus ONE hard case made in Oh Canada. As as a home plucker those cases are rarely used, unless going to the Luthier.

I have an EpiLite case made for Explorer shaped guitars. It fits my Epiphone Moderne nearly perfect. I got it for $89 as opposed to the $119 that the hard shell Explorer and Moderne hard shell case (if you can ever find one in stock). the EpiLite case is really nice. Most of the time I'll opt for a hard shell case if one is avail., but there are some really good gig bags out there. Road Runner Highway series of gig bags are great.

I’d like to see you open up your PRS SE case at a gig to see all your pens and calculator ect in it

It's easiest for me to just throw the guitar in with the wires and adapters duffle bag. But whats up with PRS CE 24 still coming with a gig bag?

I may need to do some flying w a guitar this winter and would be interested in recommendations for flight cases and ones that can be easily bought in Canada. Otherwise I just use gig bags mostly around town. Hardshells for acoustics tho.

Just like big guitar channels do I hang mine on the wall or from the ceiling( like some kind of Scott Grove thing LOL)..... I prefer them hanging there the only crappy thing is they get dusty but it's easy to see all the instruments I am currently using at the time except for the ones that are packed away in cases

It always seemed to me that Gibson made way nicer cases than Fender. I do love the look of the Fender tweed cases though.

The 1st hard-shell case you showed, the SACK- Yorkville case/teardrop shaped. My Westone spectrum lx came in that shaped case but, it had red guts & Was branded with a Westone sticker on the top. The newer/ knock off version of that case has silver guts. They are the only version I can find.

My first electric guitar came supplied in a fitted hardshell plus line case, and it wasn't particularly expensive at the time. A drop dead gorgeous Made in Japan Ibanez SG clone in Cherry supplied in a Tolex covered wooden hard case plus lined with gold velvet. I wish guitars still did, but without the premium tier segmentation delineation and impost. Of course, this was way back in 1975 when the JPY exchange rate was absurdly favourable. My first acoustic, a Yamaha Classical model also Made in Japan but long since discontinued came off the store hanger as was. It was probably supplied to the retailer in a box, but consumers never saw them in the day slong, long before internet e-tail. Since my return to the fold five years ago, although I've purchased many guitars, and they all came sans any kind of case. I very nearly bought one recently with, an Ibanez AS113 (beautiful Ibanez ABS case) but chose to go with/pay for the AS93FM instead (no case). I do have several hard cases for transport, but prefer to source and buy my own as I prefer ABS and quality. That said, ouch!. Even those PRC manufactured generic cases have recently doubled in price in my country. I noted prices rising steadily since the commencement of the COVID planicdemic in March 2019, but have risen steeply over the past eighteen months to double what they were in late 2018.

Dude, love your content even though you don't know why you do. I mean, I don't either so... subbed. I am also a bedroom player, don't gig much but I like to be ready for the road. I used to have hardshell cases but know switched to case bags like those Mono, Reunion B. and Gator Icons... expensive stuff but is more convinient and versatile IMO.

I'm at the point where I have Mono M80 gig bags for just about everything (except my Les Paul, which has one of the new design Gibson deluxe gig bags). Not a hard case fan, the only one I still have is for my Ovation 12-string acoustic.

The Yorkville cases are great IMO , especially for what you pay for em. Great video Landon.

Landon's humour is becoming so dryly straight-faced these days that I predict standup as the next career move.

I’m a home player, no good at it. I was singer in a few gigging bands in my 20’s. I enjoy working on guitars and it is my favorite hobby. I only do hard cases.

My $1500 CD Gibson LP Tribute came with a beautiful soft case; much better than any gig bag but not quite a hard shell case. My Fender American Performer Tele ($1500CD) came with their “deluxe” gig bag (junk). Spent the cash for a tweed hard shell case for the Tele (less than $200). My Seagull acoustic came with an incredible soft/hard case and it is amazing. Wouldn’t put it on an aircraft but it protects well. 😎🇨🇦🎸

I have a Gator Hardshell for my Epi LP Classic. It's a really nice case!

I don't gig or even travel with my gear, but I have a really nice Fender Tele that needed a home. A guitar without a decent, good quality case is like a cart without a horse. I bought this case and my tele is thanking me. Really well made case too.

Hi Landon, when gigging locally I use a padded gig bag. When traveling a hard shell case. Dunno if you and your viewers knew that a Gibson “Chainsaw” case will take a Telecaster? Fact: I’ve been using this combo since 1987! BTW I really enjoy your funny bits just as much if not better than the gear. 😎

*warning; do not play a drinking game for every time landon says case

Man my oldest guitar i got used in the 80s and it came with a case so its still playable. I have to have cases cause im in the desert guitars hate it here

"I don't fly with my guitars, I need both arms". - This guy. lol love it.

In my experience the gig bags you get with the Prs se bags are the best like you can spend $400 and get an amazing case with it also

Godin includes a nice padded gig bag with most of their electrics.

I bought a Washburn X50 from a guy on eBay and I'm pretty sure he wasn't sure what he was selling..paid £180 for the guitar with a top of the range Gator soft case, which I'd priced at £80. I use this all the time with my guitars for gigs. Well padded and lightweight, plenty of pocket storage and even a pocket with a rain mac in it... awesome!

I think the price has to be around $2000 before you get a case. I have an SKB case from Sweetwater for my Tele, but it came with a mid tier gig bag. My Martins all came with cases. My Squire Tele came with a high quality Fender box.

All of my cases are from Yorkville Sound. They have always held up for me and I've moved some of my guitars across the country. Twice. The really funny one was finding a case that would fit my Squier Contemporary Jazzmaster. Ended up going with a teardrop bass case as nothing else would fit the body shape. That was a frustrating hour or so of testing every guitar case they pretty much had at Long & McQuade in Edmonton lol

i loved the fly joke, caught me off guard. in any case, nice video. sorry the puns are contagious.

I don’t gig or travel with guitars, but I got an Epiphone ES-335 custom shop as a gift and I want to keep it forever (it rules) and it has loads of sentimental value. I want a hard shell case for it just, er, in case I take it anywhere. I’ll look into the Yorkville cases thanks! My Fender road worn 50s Strat came with their deluxe gig bag. It’s… an ok bag. Not fabulous but hey.

Because cases are big and heavy i.e. Hard to Store unless you have 1 or 2 guitars. I'll take a gig bag every time -- keeps 'em covered up and much easier to store and handle. I have 1 hard case right now, and can live with it for a while, but I might very well get a gig bag for the LP instead and dump or sell the hard case. I actually sold one of my favorite guitars of all time because a hard case was the only way to keep it out of harm's way -- it was a Firebird and it was awesome! I often think about getting another one until I remember the size and weight of that case..... If one is needed, Sweetwater does have your fix...

I'm so old I remember when you always got a case.

I jam with friends once a week so a case of any kind is necessary. I mostly have hard cases that came with the guitars. I definitely understand the benefit of the nicer padded gig bags, I just don't have any. The few gig bags I have are the simple, thin. Blah ones. Still better than nothing.

Ask for stuff. At the store, the pawnshop, craigslist... They usually have the case, and they expect people to ask for it. It may not be free, but if you're negotiating for the guitar, with money in your hand, you have leverage.

Cases are reserved for what manufacturers consider their higher end guitars.

I've always wanted one of those tweed hardshell cases but for the price of one of those I can buy a decent squier

1st guitar I bought was an Epi Les Paul. Came with no case. Bought a Crossrock hardshell from Amazon. I thought it was cheapish, but looking them up now, they are quite pricey. 2nd guitar I bought was a cheapish Ibanez superstrat. No case. Bought a cheap hard case from L&M. 3rd guitar was a Simon & Patrick acoustic (part of the Godin fam). Came with a TRIC gigbag, which is the nuts. 4th guitar was a Fender Tele. Came with a beautiful molded plastic case (same as yours; disappointed to hear it's made in China). Have a Yamaha Revstar Standard on order. Apparently comes with a gigbag... if it ever turns up.

My Les Paul case was made in Canada (ITG?). Have a G&G tweed case with my '52 reissue that's much nicer than the tweed case that came with one of my mim Strats. Got a "deluxe" gig bag with the Hendrix Strat. My Rickenbacker case looks similar to your 70's Fender case.

First thing I thought when I saw your pile of SACKs was "wow, you could build a nice fort with those!". My guitars rarely leave the house, most of them I got with a gigbag and only a couple with a hardcase. I'm in the process of building one for my Strat/Tele, but work's getting in the way. On the subject of guitars coming without a SACK, Indio guitars by Monoprice ship with some really nice gigbags (not dust covers, but nicely padded gigbags) so it makes no sense to me why something that's 5, 10, 15 times more expensive doesn't come with something similar.

I really like Gator cases.

You crack me up, Lando 😆 Any recs for a hard case for a Starcaster?

The reason they don't give cases is that you have them all , jeeze you have a lot of cases

Great topic - in my mind once you pay $1500 for a new guitar you should get a hard case and a gig bag with all others. I know I am swimming upstream here with what's trending. I used to gig and needed hard shell cases for all guitars. Now I'm mostly playing at home so case not as important. Thanks

I have a couple of hard cases & a bunch of soft ones but Imo all guitars should come with some kinda case… so you buy $150 guitar maybe least get the crappy soft case but anything over $300 surely a decent gig bag can be worked into costs? But when a guitar arrives in a case it not only makes the guitar feel more special, I reckon you’ll probably take care of it better too (maybe not!)… I got a Les paul studio, came in gig bag but my Japanese Revstar came in a hard case & I gotta say it felt great opening it

I feel that the silica packets from hard cases taste the best.

in this video mr landonbailey solves the case of who makes the best case just in case you're in the need for a good case

I like a good gig bag, which is to say not the one that ever comes with the instrument. The ones that come standard feel more like a spring jacket that will keep a guitar dry in the rain, but only if it's not raining too hard. I don't fly with guitars so I'd probably buy some hard cases if that was my situation. I think I'd prefer if the higher end models came with a hard case and no guitars came with a gig bag, because even though haggling on the price never works for me I can usually get a guitar store to throw in lagniappe, and I usually angle for a gig bag, but if it already comes wrapped in a nylon sock they say, "you've already got a gig bag, how about a set of stings and a handful of picks" and I don't need that.

All but one of my guitars have hard cases. The one that hasn't, has one of those soft/hard cases, I would definitely get another one of those if I bought a guitar that didn't have a hard case.

This is my beef too, no cases or worse, useless bags that are no good. When I recently bought an LP Tribute it came stock with a floppy bag but the dealer kindly offered me a free upgrade to a Gibson Premium Softshell case instead. It has hard sides, tons of padding and great support for the headstock. I had an LP Custom years ago with a hardshell case and I think this Premium Softshell could be a better case for preventing headstock breaks. You can't drive a truck over it but for my needs it's awesome. My 2008 PRS SE bag is great too, but my 2020 PRS PE20 acoustic gig bag is a cheap dust cover compared to it, shame on PRS. For hardshells, I still have a Charvel hardshell case from the 1980s, that's indestructible but heavy as get out.

Unless its a high end guitar, I don’t mind the gig bag or nothing at all…cases take up sooo much room that I’m ok without them for most guitars…but I’m kinda weird 😳

I propose that from here on its officially called "flappy doo thing".

Good morning 🤘

Been playing guitar for about 5 months, already have 9 guitars😅 I know I'm crazy. I just used to let them stay in their own soft cases but I'm trying to buy each of them a hard case. You know, here in Korea have notorious summer. So Hot and Humid. Since I don't want any of my guitars got any damage from it so I'm paying extra money buying them a house, with bunch of humid control stuffs. Now I have 6 Hard shells, 2 more to go to complete the plan.

At some level, I'd like to have a case for every guitar but dang, storage. I would need another room for just the cases. So for those guitars that don't have cases (or aren't really worth a case) I have a couple of hardshell cases they'll fit in. Yeah, I might have to add some rags or something to make the guitar "fit" right but that's ok. I don't travel with 'em much anyway. Just maybe one once in a while. But my OCD still wants a case, ha.

I splashed out for deluxe molded fender hardshells for my strats... and they hold up exceptionally well... granted, they never... EVER leave the house... but they hold up well to general "stacked in the closet" use 🤦‍♂.My Starcaster is homeless tho... can anyone recommend a SACK for that?

If you get a gig bag, they protect enough and a hardshell case after shipping and taxes your up to almost aaaaaafive hundred dollars..

In Europe in 2012, you could buy an american standard strat for ~ 1000€ (with hard case, cable, shoulder belt included in the price) . Considering the value of the hard case ~150-200€ it means that the cost of the guitar was about the same of the new entry model player strat . IT's a shame how the prices have increased over the years. IMO.

Because profits have become more important than pleasing the guitar community. All the major guitar manufacturers answer to shareholders, and shareholders are not interested in value for your money!

I have a hard case tombstone one. Soft cas then floppy clothe I have one guitar on a stand I need to pick two up I found one at a thrift store old very thrashed and as it goes the thrift store thought they had a diamond they jacked up the price. Me and some stranger spoke I said over priced stranger states I played guitar for 30 sum years I’d never seen a guitar case so crappy. I said have a great day stranger danger man states y’all to make it a great day but bet your lollipops I ain’ts buying that case

My Squire was delivered by a Stork that dropped it on it’s head

Ottawa Canada?! I used to live in Ottawa Kansas. I call it Envelope Filter Kansas.

Guitar company's don't even do a setup. I bought an epiphone Les Paul 59 and it was the only guitar in a long time that came with a hardcase and was set up with 10's out of the box.

My solution: I lash a snowboard and an amp to the roof of my family SUV. I climb up on the roof, clip into the board, plug in, and immediately start rocking when we pull out of the driveway - and don’t stop until we reach the gig. Best of all worlds. Never break the chain of custody.

I always get hardshell cases. Yeah they take up a lot of space, but it's worth it. I've lived on the west coast of the US my entire life. Earthquakes are a thing here. They don't happen often, but when they do, it can really suck if a bunch of bookshelves topple onto your unprotected guitars. Also, I don't want my guitars to get dusty, if they hung on the walls, they'd need to be dusted almost daily ...And a case can normalize humidity and temperature changes. I don't baby my guitars, I play them, but because I keep them in cases they're almost mint condition.

Cant go past a fender deluxe case.. polycarb… they are the best

I want all my guitars to have a good case. Having said that, I'm expecting my next guitar, a Martin 00-15m, to arrive within two weeks from now. This guitar, off course, comes with a beautiful hard shell case. Perfect. However, I lost my lower right leg 8 years ago, so carrying guitars and heavy tube amps aren't really helpful anymore. Besides, I traded my car in for a scooter (it would cost me too much to adapt the car to my new 'legless' life). What I'm trying to say is... I need a highly protective case-like guitar bag to wear like a backpack and then jump on my scooter to go to places where I can have fun with my new guitar, without needing my friends help all the time and without having to worry about the guitar too much, because it will (or should) be well protected. BUT I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING!!! Even at Martin they sell a beautiful soft case (I think that's what they call 'em), but only for dreadnaughts and for 000-sized guitars. Yes, my 00 will fit in the 000 soft case, but I'm affraid it won't be a snug fit. Does anyone know a good, save and reasonable sollution to this problem? I know it's not the biggest problem in the world, but a good suggestion would be nice! Thanks in advance. 😊

For all those folks who think that it saves the guitar maker money by not including the case, in most retail businesses, the "value added", the extra stuff you buy is pure gravy. I bet the markup on a decent case, on average, is pretty close to what the markup is on the guitar, so when a guitar store sells a guitar If they can sell you a case too, they double their profit. That's probably why you don't get a 'free' case with your guitar.

Bedroom player, I need dust covers mainly. If I want to transport my guitars, maybe because I am moving or something I would have to rent some hard cases, because I am not going to trust that trash gig bags I have for that. If would play in a band, I would get one of those 100 euro thoman SafeCase gigbags, you know the kind that is actually protecting your guitar while being easy to carry around, but I certainly would not want one for every guitar I own. But I am a bed room player, so having guitars on my walls or in dust covers is fine for me. No need to make a guitar 150€ more expensive just to include a free hard case, UNLESS the shape is unique. I would be very conflicted to even buy a guitar that does not fit into a standard case or gig bag if it does not come at least with it's own hard case. That is the only exception to my general rule that I don't care what gimmicks an instrument comes with.

Keeps the cost down but it’s kinda bad for the consumer ya know?

Everyone is different with finances, playing abilities ect but let's be honest it might not be but a 2/300 dollar guitar but you're proud of it, it's yours and you want to take care of it as best you can. I have as well as seen people take better care of a $300 guitar than most people do a $3,000 guitar.

Just researched 1958 Gibsons and it would have cost you over $70 additional to get a case with your $275 dollar guitar. Inflation since then puts it more than ten times. Imagine the complaints having to fork out $800 for a case after you spent almost $3k on a guitar.

Nice guitars like to sleep in their home. Must have a hard case. Classical string players keep their instruments in cases I do believe. I’ve never seen a house with violins all over the furniture.

Hey Landon, has anyone ever told you that you look like Precy, from the movie, The Green Mile? His real name is Doug Hutchison.

Moving cross country. Figuring out how to not spend hundred extra on guitar packaging.

i travel once month, i cant it, i need a case

MONEY

case ventura - pad detective

Hard cases only for me but guitars all kept out, not in the cases.

Get a band and start gigging gain Landon.. for me its better than drugs.. anyway Orangeville Ont here.. watch your vids.. great humour... I gig and love the gig bag... I keep my gear small for clubing in the local area, I can throw 2 gig bags w/ guitars over my back... accessories bag and mic stand in one hand... Fender deluxe rev in the other and I'm in the club... easy eh... enjoy

Hardshell cases as long as you get them fitted ! DON’T FORCE THE CLAMP. don’t crack your instrument like i did! 😭 also, I think $750 you should get a regular hard case. and around $1500 you can get the molded hard case. I think the most people would be happy that way :)

If your guitar is in a case you may not play it. Gotta leave it out so you will see and then play it more often. If it’s outta sight it’s outta mind!!! Unless you are going to a gig. Haha. Leave it out at home!!!

I definitely see the influence norm macdonald has had on your humor
