Acoustic guitars, being more fragile than electrics, require well-padded gig bags or rigid cases for protection. Traditional wooden cases provided early solutions, but modern molded plastic and reinforced soft cases offer better durability and weight reduction. Leading manufacturers include Hiscox (Liteflite), TKL (Prestige Series), Mono (M80 Acoustic), and Reunion Blues (RB Continental). Hard cases are essential for long-term storage and travel, preventing damage from humidity and temperature changes. Gig bags with heavy padding work well for casual transport and local gigs. For valuable or vintage acoustics, investing in a high-quality case ensures longevity and safety.
