Jules asked:


I have a cheap guitar that I am learning on and am planning to eventually buy a better quality guitar.

My current guitar is 43″ long. I was wondering if when I buy a new guitar, will I be able to use the same hard-cover case for that guitar if it is shorter than 43″ long?

How snug of a fit is necessary for the guitar?

Thanks!
Correction - it’s 41″ long.

I’m getting my friend a hard-shell electric guitar case as a present. His guitar is custom made from a local guitar legend. I know how some of the styles look, but I was wondering if anyone knew a site where I could compare it to most all common styles of electric guitar, or maybe know common dimensions of such?

David asked:

I know putting the whole case in a guitar box works the best, but wouldn’t it cost to check in a guitar box? I mean, isn’t it too big to be counted as a free luggage? So, how can I pack a guitar with only the hard case for the best protection? What can I do to the exterior of the case? Also, if I were to bring the guitar on board, is it okay to do that with the guitar in a hard case?
