Why did we make the case?
At Advance Guitars, we handle a large number of used and vintage guitars every day. This also means that we have seen countless "used cases."
NewIt may look great when new, but what happens after a few years of use? A torn shoulder strap unable to withstand the weight, holes in the bottom from rubbing against the ground, and a tattered interior from pegs getting caught...
We've seen firsthand, to the point of being overwhelmed, where cases that have been used in the field break down and where they experience stress.
"Of course, it's best right after you buy it. What's really important is whether that pleasant user experience lasts.
We gathered feedback from our staff, who frequently carry guitars around, about what they wished for, and aimed to create a case that is tough and comfortable enough to be used for a long time. This case embodies our pride and desire as a musical instrument store.
We can confidently recommend this product because it's the result of thoroughly considering "cases we ourselves would want to use" and "cases where we truly want our customers to feel at ease."
