Acoustic Guitar Cases 101: Types, Fit and Care

Acoustic guitars are sensitive to temperature and humidity. A good case protects them from both.

Types

  • Wood hard case: classic, strong, heavier.
  • ABS molded: light, weatherproof.
  • Fiberglass: premium, very light.
  • Semi-hard / gig bag: local use.

Fit matters

Dreadnought, concert, jumbo and 12-string bodies differ. Check interior length and lower-bout width against your guitar.

Care

  • Humidity: 45-55% ideal for wood.
  • Loosen strings before long storage.
  • Keep the case dry and ventilated.
