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

“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 of course I have to use it.”

Do you find yourself thinking that way and lugging around a hard case that feels as heavy as lead every single time?

Your arms get completely exhausted just walking to the station.
You’re constantly worried that the rigid case might bump into people around you on a crowded train.
You put up with 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’s sake” are over.

Our goal was to make people who thought, “I have to use a hard case” or “I just have to put up with the stress of the weight as a matter of course,” realize, “Oh, this is fine. No, this is actually the best!”
We’ve thoroughly packed it with all the features needed to achieve that.
That’s the hundred HSC-A II.

At first glance, it might look like a simple black case.
But within this simplicity, we’ve packed every feature that acoustic guitar players truly need—without leaving anything out.

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: The stress of traveling—feeling “heavy, painful, or scary”—will be a thing of the past.
• 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 Life with Your Precious Guitar: Proper protection shields your beloved instrument from impact. Why not switch that guitar, currently sleeping inside a hard case, to this bag?

Now, strap on your new case and head out to discover new sights.

At Advance Guitars, we handle numerous used and vintage guitars every day. This also means we’ve seen “countless ‘well-worn cases.’”
They may look nice
when new, but what happens after a few years of use? Shoulder straps that tear from the weight, bottoms with holes from scraping against the ground, interiors worn to shreds from pegs catching on them… We’ve seen more than enough of “cases that have been used in the field”
—exactly where they break and where they show signs of wear and tear.
“It’s only natural that a case looks good right after you buy it. What really matters is whether that comfort lasts.”
By gathering feedback from our staff—who carry guitars around regularly
—on what they wish were different, we aim to pursue 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.
We can confidently recommend this case because it is the result of our relentless pursuit of a case “we ourselves would want to use” and one that “we sincerely hope will make our customers’ lives easier.”

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 markups or excessive embellishments.
We’ve poured everything we’ve learned from past experience—the “features you truly need” and “quality”—into this 13,200 yen price point.
You no longer need to worry about buying a case that’s too cheap and ending up disappointed, or hesitating to buy one that’s too expensive.
