"let's take a look at another case"
Was that a pun and not a pun?
That's genius
I think that might be the case
Dang Boss you just convinced me that I will be building all of my guitar cases from scratch and custom for each guitar. With what guitars cost even the cheaper end will be worth the work and besides it gives me a reason to use my wood and leather shops : ) which always makes me a happier camper. Also As I am reborn into my new guitar playing era of my life ( I was declared legally blind as of Friday the 13th of this year and So I have returned to my guitar for solace and something to do in the darkness. They bring out my soul and groove.
I haven't felt these in many years out in the 9-5 world so I'm not sure if the blindness is a blessing or curse. But like most things in this life I guess it depends on how we take it and how openly, honestly, and truthfully we look at them in light of where we are and where we truly want to be.
Not to say that I think anyone would choose to go blind after beholding Gods beauty in this world, but I'm not sure in my case that it ( going blind ) was all bad.
I have to say that as a Grandparent It was much harder to loose my young Granddaughter in 2016 by far And to watch what it did to her father tore us apart.
Sorry I go off on it sometimes.
Great video you make many good points and I will use your knowledge when I build my cases for my guitars. Thanks again I will be watching ( or should I say listening ).
You have a better outlook on life
than so many folks
who have 20/20!
All the best Friend.
Rock On! ♾💚
you make a great case for buying a good case
I can't believe no one mentioned the great job you did of not getting ripped open by the copper staples in the unboxing section. It's an acquired skill that takes time to master :-0
Why do you think they call it heavy metal 😁🤘
Thanks for taking the time to show and explain. I never really thought about the case making such a difference You did a great job explaining and now I know what to look for when I select my next Case - Charles
I haven't seen one case in this collection that was particularly good...
Good cases you can actually fly with are in a different price range.
I love that Jackson Snake! Great video.
I got a couple musicians gear cases last week $70 each and very pleased how a danelectro dc59 fits nicely. Excellent fit to the body and well supported.
Most my cases aren’t great fits and that’s where all the nice towels are. Lolol
This just popped up on autoplay, and is a cool video. So it made me check my cases, and I found extra strings!!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for the demo! I had a problem with a padded soft case in which the zipper handle broke. Zip ties had to be applied in order to use the zipper. Peace, Flood!
So, which case is good for travel, from hot or freezing automobile trunks to train, bus and/or airline travel? I personally use the SKB and Gator injection or rotating mold ATA cases for the utmost in protection. I realize that there is no protection from the extreme forces put upon guitar cases in airline travel, but I do the best I can do. I also have Musicians Friend molded cases which do a pretty damn good job in protecting my guitars.
The 3, 4 or 5 layer luan wood guitar cases that you use for your guitars are a little bit better than the gig bags you show. You must buy a form fitting case if you don't want your guitar to fall apart in the case. It is almost like seatbelts in a car, they hold you in so that you don't go flying about the interior while in a crash. Having the guitar NOT move about while in it's case is the best for the guitar.
Please don't misrepresent what guitar cases can do and not do, and gig bags are not real guitar cases, that' why they are called 'gig bags'.
My EVH guitar case left red stain in the ivory finish of my wolfgang special. Looks like pink marbling on the bottom edge and back of the guitar from the crushed velvety material. The towel is a good tip!
I couldn't have done a better job myself when it comes to the tips that you gave out in this video TK.
Tippity TOP as per usual on great INFO. Thank you!
The G&G case fits Fender guitars very well. So do not be surprised, if you use a guitar from another manufacturer, if it does not fit perfectly ....
I have a DBZ Barchetta (Killer Deal Alert) and bought the Barchetta case from Riff City. Both companies are great. That being said, the guitar doesn't want to sit properly in the case. When you line the body of the guitar up with the case, then the neck doesn't sit right in the neck pocket. If the neck sits correctly then the body's off somewhat. Maybe there have been some minor changes to the guitars, but not the cases yet?
This vid was super helpful your enthusiasm shows that you care for for your guitars 👍
Best guitar case video on TH-cam.
Great info. You touched on items that I would never have even thought of. Now I need to go check my case to see if it is actually protecting my guitar. In the near future I plan on building a case for my newest guitar, and now I know what to work towards as far as padding and support.
I enjoyed this because this had been a concern of mine and I have not seen a case review on youtube. God bless buddy and keep it up!
As always Excellent review !!!
I got a hiscox hard case for my main guitar, which is a Les Paul. I used my case for my Les Paul recently, and took my guitar out of the case to realise that there was a couple grooves on a couple of the frets, which looked like the strings had been forced down on to the frets. The only thing I can think of that did this was the lid of my hard case pushing the strings forcing them into the frets. Also, when I put the lid down (with my main guitar in the case) the lid doesn't fully close before I push it all the way down and put the latches on, there's about an inch of space between the lid and the bottom half of the case. I don't know if that's supposed to happen, and that's probably what did the damage to the frets of my guitar
Hmm, I’ve been buying after market cases and just throwing my guitars in there without a thought. Now I know how I got those cracks around the neck pocket. Gotta make an effort to use towels and other means to make sure they’re snug in there. Thanks for the video!
It’s cool you gave some of our lesser intuitive brethren a good amount of data to be aware of. You got rid of some heart wrenching nights. Very cool.
I learnt a few things today. Thanks TTK!
Ibanez gig bag and cases are pretty good. The hybrid power pad guitar case are amazing!
I'm not a working musician so I don't travel with my instruments, but a correctly fitted case is important. Occasionally they will have to be transported.
Thanks for doing the video, very interesting. Good timing also as I am about to buy a hard case for my new semi hollow electric.BTW this guitar arrived from the US in a standard cardboard guitar shipping box but sadly some numpty had dropped it on the lower bout and smashed the metal tailpiece that attaches the bigsby type trem to the body.I think you would have to drop the guitar from a couple of feet to break the cast metal fitting into 2 bits. I know USA warehouse staff opened the box up and I think didn't bother to repack the guitar properly.Thanks again.
Very informative video TK.
Nice job!
Did you say the Postal Monkey case has a built in tuner? That's pretty wild, never heard of anything like that before, lol.
Great video, now I know what to look for when I go out to buy myself a case! Thanks! :)
Thank you for the effort to make this video it is really helpful!
Great video with some useful tips on how to protect a guitar whilst it's in a case. I'll make good use of some towels!!! Thank you.
Lol the first case had me rolling. You and your furry doggy toys , balled up socks, 😂
Great video as always. I was never a fan of gig bags, but when I bought my Taylor 314ceG and it came with a taylor branded backpack style gig bag I was hooked. Excellent protection and damn convenient. It goes with me every Sunday to my gig. I have one for my T5z, and I spent the big bucks for a Reunion Blues gig bag for few of my assorted electrics. They are all higher end, but I have no fear with the RB case, it is outstanding protection. Check them both out.
My concern is summer heat, it’s about 100 degrees in the room my basses are in. So I definitely think hard shell case with hydrometer
I agree, every guitar needs a case. Gig bags can take a hike. If you bought the guitar, also respect it with a hard shell case.
Just setup my new guitar, put it in the case (Fitted case) and next day had to readjust the truss rod. I assumed it was just settling in or temperature change. Next day just set it in the case without closing the case..:no issues Next night, closed the case and what do ya know...had to adjust the truss rod again the next day....I repeated these steps a third time and same issue!!
great video.. i will check my cases now. thanks!!!
I bought a Kramer once that was covered in lint from a towel. It was all in the electronics cavity and everywhere. Fucks me how it got so bad but because of that I started using lint free cloths instead of towels inside my hard cases that required such adjustments.
Thumbs up TK!! Time to check my Cases.
thanks for this helpful video
i found a case for lacquer finish guitar...
I have the generic one. It’s all I can afford. Any tips for making it more sturdy?
Thanks! Very thoughtful and thorough!
Why didn't you review schecter guitar case :O they're like the best I've seen. I got one for my hell raiser extreme
I have to get one of those Jackson gig bags for my king v. I own the Dean bag and although it does provide great protection from outside elements, the case itself is so clunky and unbalanced. It also has started to rip holes where the points of my V sit on the bottom. The outside is great but the inside material is subpar for the money Dean wants for a case like that. Well done video nonetheless TK! \m/
Thank you so much for this :-) Really a lot of things to consider, if you want to do it right - you made it easy! Kudos from Pernille, Copenhagen, Denmark.
That Jackson Snakeskin is sweet!!! What model is that?
100% pure Naugahyde! Very good video. Good logic all around.
Thank you very mach for thr video... it was interesting.
Can you please make a video about soft shell case like gator lightweight case?? And talk about the eps poam?
Thank you
Hey thanks for this video, really nicely done and with important information!
Really appreciate it as I'm about to buy a case for my beloved Fender :)
Whats also interesting if the case like the Kramer is pushing the tremolo to go sharp or flat - strings will be effected
You're right, you wouldn't want the case to be pressed down on the tremolo bar.
If a trem bar is removable, it should never be put in the case with it on. The only exception would be like a bigsby type, there are cases with the cavity cut out for it.
I realize I'm late to the party, just one comment......
The Gibson Gen 2 Chainsaw case is the greatest case ever built.
NOTHING EVEN COMPARABLE !
I have to comment on your G&G Case: If your guitar moves enough in the case to take a one inch hit it is obviously either the wrong size case or you have the wrong guitar in the case. G&L Guitars uses G&G Tolex cases for the USA Jerry Cantrell Signature Rampage, ( I own one )... The case is molded to fit the Rampage perfectly. The Rampages headstock is flat ( no tilt ). I tried moving my Rampage back and forth in the case, it seriously only moves about 1/4 of an inch if at all...you may want to try your Tribute Rampage in it instead.
821KES G&G also mainly makes their cases for Fender's line of guitars as well. When ordering from the company website you have the option of four different fender guitars or "custom". I suspect that TTK's case may be sized for a Fender guitar (hence the issue with the angle of his headstock). I have one for my strat and it fits great.
I have had great luck with Acess hard and soft gig bags
I got a amazon case for my electric guitar and it fits very well longways and the tip of the headstock dont touch but it has a small gap on each side of the body width wise not longways, its good and snug longwise for the body, but i put a strip of foam on each side of the body in the small gaps widthwise, is that good to do so the body wont move side to side because it cant move from horn to bottom because its snug???
Great video! Thx!
Oh almost forgot, One other thing I wanted to ask is do you have or could you recommend or make a video on how to Identify a guitar. I ask as I am looking at buying my wife a second hand guitar we need to rescue from a antique shop before it goes to someone who won't keep and treasure it as we will. I owe her so many anniversary and birthday gifts over the years ( it's just raising 5 kids was always payday to payday never enough of anything {we are a meld crew if you know what I mean her & mine })
sorry anyway if you could help out. I'd like to know what type and model it is when I give it to her. Still watching : )
ALL of my cases, all Hard Shell, Fit the guitar that is inside ! Except the NEW GIBSON Les Paul, which came in a SOFT leather 'Hard Shell' which is Not a Hard case Gibson !
Great video! I have a question though. You mentioned guitars going sharp in their cases. What causes that? I have one guitar that goes sharp. It has a non-original case. Thanks!!!
Very Good video King !!! Great tips...
If your not in a band and just play at home wouldn't just be better to hang it from the wall by the neck?? I am just getting back into this from when I was young. I hung all the guitars from the neck and never had a problem at all. I could be wrong so please let me know on your thoughts?? Thank You
great video !
Great video TK.
Excellent Sir !
Hi Tone King, Thank U for the Info. What was that last Guitar? The Imperial? Who Makes this Guitar?
Good video. Who would make those custom foam inserts? Thanx.
Great video TK. I have a cheap LP style case which has the foam breaking down. Does anyone know where I can buy "guitar case foam" will any fabric or craft store have some? The neck support is going and the headstock is touching the side of the case now.
Oh crap I bought blue towels.
Carvin's new Ultimate soft cases are awesome. Look up their drop demo by Jeff Kiesel on TH-cam .
What would be a great case for a stratacousitc Guitar?
Great video. You are really making use of your collection and knowledge in this one. Stuff you couldn't get other places.
Great video!
But when storing upright or flat?
Thank you, must be good being King 🤴 ❤
Very interesting .
nice review
What do you think of Gator Cases and Gig Bags?
I have the same problem with a fitted case like @ 5:30. I was wondering...how in the hell
grooves can form on frets?....that would be it.
These days you have to hope to get anything at all ..My ESP/LTD Iron Cross and my EVH Wolfgang Special ( both + 1000 euro )
came with NOTHING.
And what about the SKB-66? After watching this video, I am afraid that my telecaster could be damaged.
Them horns and wink and gun click make this super extra cool..... hahaha..... duchebag
Hey ttk, any recommendations for a hard case for a prs se custom 22?
Gator Titan, SKB, and Pelican
I'm having a nightmare trying to find a hard case for my PRS CE 24... anyone have an idea?
best instrument case is the one that comes with your instrument because it's made for it, so if you are going to get a instrument make sure it comes with a original hard case. 😎
No Gator cases? Do u not like there products ?
Anyone have experience with coffin cases? Looking to get one for my warlock.
That's why I bought custom fit cases from Ed roman
Most hard cases are crap, but offer more protection then "gig" bags in most cases. 😊
Should I just put it on a stand ?
So here is the $64,000 question…. Which case is the best case to avoid ALL these problems ( except the airport thing ) for my new Telecaster Player MIM ????
does anyone know where i can get a gig bag for an explorer body guitar
never mind thanks awesome video
If you want the best bang for buck case on the planet choose Hiscox cases. Not because they are made in the UK, but because they are seriously amazing, and brilliant value for money. SKB, TKL, Kinsmann, Gator etc... Crap.
and how many guitars do you have?
must be nice...I've got to get up at 6 am every morning to get my cash!
Oh, I get it! The perfect case is the one that stores the instrument floating in vacuum...
only if the air is ionized inside ...
I am surprised Carvin cases didn't get into this video
femaledeer damn - they should have. Good call. Their cases fit PERFECTLY!!!
ive noticed you didnt mention actual length as in inches, maybe next time.
I was given a generic case I don’t want to name it. Starts with a G. Idk if it’s from the store storing it in their moldy basement or what. But it smells horrible like chemicals or idk what. Ruins the whole experience. I don’t think it’s supposed to smell. Remember when u would get a new Fender if would smell great. SonI need to take it out and air it out all the time. It should’ve come with the brand name guitar case. And that’s why they’re gone and moved. Sadly, they were the only guitar store in a major city.
I just don't see why people just don't buy a nice padded gig bag and place that into a hard shell case that's gutted. 😉
hardcases will do more damage than to protect it
