"Hard cases are heavy and a pain."
Why not put an end to that struggle?

"It’s my precious acoustic guitar, so I feel uneasy unless it’s in a hard case"
"It came with the guitar when I bought it, so I feel like I have to use it."

Do you find yourself lugging around a heavy, lead-like hard case every time because of thoughts like these?

Your arms get completely exhausted just walking to the station.
You’re constantly worried about the rigid case bumping into people on the crowded train.
You put up with the pain in your back, shoulders, and hands.

If you think “transporting a guitar = hard labor,” that’s just a misconception. That “hassle” can be solved.
The days of “putting up with the weight for safety” are over.

Our goal was to make those who thought, “I have to use a hard case” or “I just have to put up with the stress of the weight,” realize, “Oh, this is fine. No, this is actually better!”
To achieve that, we’ve packed in every essential feature.
That is the hundred HSC-A II.

At first glance, it might look like a simple black case.
However, within this simplicity, we’ve packed in every single feature that acoustic guitar players truly need.

Our goal was to combine the “peace of mind” of a hard case with the “convenience” of a soft case.

[Weighing just 1.85 kg]—lighter than a 2-liter plastic bottle!

From the very day you get your hands on this hundred HSC-A II, your guitar case will no longer be “just a means of transport”—it will become a partner that takes you out into the world.

• Freedom from stress: Say goodbye to the stress of travel—no more “heavy, painful, or scary” experiences.
• Expand your horizons: Practice at a nearby park, play at a live music café a little further away, or jam with friends. You’ll be able to casually take your guitar to places you used to find “too much of a hassle.”

• Enjoy a Longer Relationship with Your Precious Guitar: Proper protection shields your beloved instrument from impact. Why not swap out that guitar sleeping inside its hard case for this bag?

Now, let’s strap on your new case and go explore new horizons.

At Advance Guitars, we handle countless used and vintage guitars every day. This also means we’ve seen “countless ‘used cases.’”

Even if a case looks pristine when new, what happens after a few years of use? Shoulder straps that tear from the weight, bottoms that develop holes from scraping against the ground, interiors that become tattered from pegs catching on them…
We’ve seen more than enough of where “cases used in the field” break down and where they feel the most stress.
"It goes without saying that a case looks great right after you buy it. What really matters is whether that quality of use lasts."

We’ve gathered feedback from our staff—who carry guitars around daily—on what they wish could be improved, and we’re committed to pursuing the durability and comfort that allow you to cherish this case for years to come. This development embodies our “pride” and “aspiration” as a music store.
Because this is the result of our relentless pursuit of a case “we ourselves would want to use” and a case “we truly want our customers to find comfortable,” we can recommend it with confidence.

Price: 13,200 yen (tax included) *Shipping not included
We’re challenging the conventional wisdom that “a good case costs over 20,000 yen” with this price point.
There are absolutely no brand premiums or excessive embellishments.
We’ve poured everything we’ve learned from past experience—the “truly essential features” and “quality”—into this 13,200 yen price point.
You no longer need to worry about buying a cheap case that ends up being a disappointment or hesitating over one that’s too expensive.
