Cases for Telecasters

Spenceh · January 5th, 2007, 10:36 AM

Any recommendations as to what cases are out there? I want a hard case that looks fairly smart...but I don't want to pay too much - and its got to be something I can buy in the UK.

Hiscox cases are really durable. I used to have a couple. I'm sure they do one that will fit Teles

Can't remember exactly how much they were, but I would think £80

I have 1 Road runner case that is terrible, I wouldn't reccomend one. Fender Cases are much better.

look for the studiologic flight cases - I picked up a couple off of ebay and they are good - made of tough, felxible plastic, it you won't punch holes in it like some plastic cases. I wish they made these for all of the various guitars I have.

don't know if you can access musician's friend in your neck of the woods but their generic fender-style cases seem to go on sale all the time for like $40. I have a couple of these and they work fine.

i usually prefer the SKB cases.....however i've got one of these on my mind....'twould make the load-in much easier with only one case for grab & go gigging with 3 guitars.....

These are great cases - I got one with my Patrick Eggle Berlin 10 years ago, I have a 'deluxe' acoustic model too. I've bought three Hiscox tele cases recently, all from Sounds Live http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~...EF~ID~1503.asp

and the cost delivered by courier is £69.30.

Can't beat 'em!!
