Acoustic Hard Shell Cases
You can't go wrong with a hard shell case for your acoustic guitar. A good hard shell case offers a an incredible amount of protection for your guitar. I know first hand of an incident where a beautiful Martin guitar was in it's hard shell case when accidentally dropped down a flight of cement stairs, leaving the guitar unscathed! The hard shell case, incredibly, was only scratched and suffered a little cosmetic damage. That is a great testiment for buying a hard shell case for your acoustic guitar. There are other advantages. If you are transporting your guitar from an air conditioned environment, out into the heat of summer, and back into an air conditioned environment you will be playing at, the guitar will still be cool! Even after a few hours the trunk of a car if it is a good case with a little insulation. This is great for two reasons. First, it's good for the guitar. Second, the guitar will not go out of tune. When there is a big temperature variation between the guitar and the room you are playing, it can take an hour for the guitar to settle back and play without going out of tune after every song. That is a nuisance! While any case or bag is better than nothing, great consideration should be given to the idea of owning a hard shell case for your acoustic guitar.
