[Based on Different Transportation] Recommended Guitar Cases for Students

Hello everyone.
Today, I'll be introducing some relatively affordable, durable, and high-functioning guitar cases that are ideal for students who are frequently on the go.
First, let's start with this!

Four Main Types of Guitar Cases!

Soft Cases

These are extremely lightweight and equipped with only the essential features. Many guitar cases that come with the purchase of a guitar are of this type. While they are compact and affordable, they are not ideal for long-distance travel. Therefore, they are recommended for short trips or for storing your instrument.

Gig Bags

Made from lightweight materials, gig bags are more durable and user-friendly compared to soft cases. They are comfortable enough to carry for extended periods and offer good protection for your instrument even with some rough handling. This makes them particularly recommended for students. You might often see people carrying gig bags when they're out!

Semi-Hard Cases

These cases are a hybrid between gig bags and hard cases. They offer the protection level of a hard case while being portable like a backpack.

Hard Cases

Recommended for those who want to protect expensive instruments from shocks. Hard cases offer excellent protection. However, since they are designed to be carried by hand, they are particularly suited for those who primarily travel by car.

This time, I'll focus on gig bags and semi-hard cases that are especially recommended for students! Since they're categorized by different modes of transportation such as walking, biking, and taking the train, be sure to check them out!

The shoulder straps and the back are made from soft mesh fabric, which helps reduce discomfort from humidity. Plus, the zipper includes a cute pick holder!

Platech / EG-Bag Black Electric Guitar Gig Bag

[Recommended for Students Who Bike to School!] This gig bag is incredibly affordable and durable, making it ideal for those seeking great value for the price. It features six pockets of various sizes, allowing you to carry effects pedals, cables, sheet music, and more so it will free up your hands. Additionally, you can protect your instrument from rain by attaching the separately sold Guitar Case Rain Cover.

Ibanez / IGB541-BK

[Recommended for Students Who Bike to School! ] This gig bag stands out with its charming design. It accommodates not only Strat and Telecaster shapes but also Jaguar and Jazzmaster shapes that offer high versatility. Having one of these means you can switch between different guitars easily, which is very convenient. Additionally, if you keep the dedicated rain cover( IRC5-BK) tucked in the pocket, you'll be prepared for unexpected rain.

Hosco/ AC-0707

[Recommended for Students Who Take the Train!] If you often ride in crowded trains, a semi-hard case is worth the investment. Unlike traditional cases, this design ensures that the case doesn’t extend above your head when worn on your back, reducing the risk of the bag getting caught in the train doors. It features a pocket that can hold A4-sized items and a luxurious Bordeaux interior, making it both practical and stylish!

SKB / SC56 Semi-Hard Case for Les Paul

[Recommended for Students Who Take the Train!] This is a semi-hard case designed specifically for Les Paul guitars. The Les Paul shape is delicate, with the headstock protruding backward, making it vulnerable to damage or cracks under strong pressure. Although the price may seem high, it is highly recommended to store your guitar in a well-structured semi-hard case for optimal protection.

These were recommended guitar cases for students.
When choosing a case, make sure to select one with slightly larger interior dimensions than your guitar's size. This will ensure a secure fit and keep your instrument safe.Carry your instrument safely and enjoy your music activities!
