"Hard cases are heavy and painful."
Why not stop putting up with that?

A gig case designed by an acoustic guitar specialist

Do you find moving your guitar "a pain"?

"I can't help but feel anxious unless I put my precious acoustic guitar in a hard case."
"I should just use the case that came with it when I bought it"

Do you find yourself lugging around that lead-heavy hard case every single time?

Your arms get sore on the way to the station.
You worry about the rigid case bumping into people on crowded trains.
You endure 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 era of "enduring weight for safety" is over.

With this case, your acoustic guitar life will change like this:

Our goal was to make those who thought "I have to use a hard case" or " enduring the stress of weight is just normal" think, "Ah, this is fine. No, this is great!"
To achieve this, we packed in every essential feature.
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 in every single feature acoustic guitar players truly need.

We packed in every single feature you've ever wanted.

Our goal was to combine the "reliability" of a hard case with the "convenience" of a soft case.

Weighing just 1.85kg—lighter than a 2L plastic bottle!

From the day you get this hundred HSC-A II, your guitar case won't just be a "mere carrying tool"—it'll become your partner taking you out into the world.

  • Freedom from stress: No more "heavy, painful, scary" travel stress.
  • Expanded horizons: Practice at the nearby park, play at a live cafe a bit further away, jam with friends. You'll be able to easily take your guitar to places you previously found "too much trouble."
  • Long-lasting companionship with your precious guitar: Proper protection shields your beloved instrument from impact. Why not swap that guitar sleeping in its hard case for this bag?

Now, strap on your new case and go discover new scenery.

A case that's both "safe" and "light"...

Why did we create this case?

At Advance Guitars, we handle countless used and vintage guitars daily. This also means we've seen countless "used cases."

Even if it looked pristine when new, what happens after years of use? Shoulder straps torn from the weight, bottoms worn through from dragging on the ground, interiors shredded by pegs snagging...
We've seen all too often where "cases used on the road" break down and where they suffer stress.
"Of course it's great right after you buy it. What really matters is whether that comfort lasts."

We've gathered the "if only it were like this" feedback from our staff who frequently transport guitars, pursuing the toughness and comfort for long-term use. This case embodies our "pride" and "wish" as a music store.
We can confidently recommend it because it's the result of relentlessly pursuing "a case we ourselves want to use" and "a case we genuinely want our customers to find comfortable."
