The hardshell case features protective bumpers, full-length neck support, and rigid EPS foam interior (the same quality as found in bicycle helmets) to prevent the instrument from moving.

last case you'll need

This case performs as advertised, and mine actually smelled like fresh cut spring flowers so I don't know what everyone is talking about down below. The latches are super simple to operate (you don't have to hook them over anything) they just click open and closed. It's got a decent lock on it, which is more than I can say for my roadrunner case, and it's lighter than I expected. Also I didn't see it mentioned anywhere but it has a small compartment in the neck, adequate to fit my strap, tuner, slide, and capo. Quality product overall, and if you bought a several hundred dollar guitar spring for a nice case. My last case put unnecessary stress on the headstock which may have contributed to a crack forming in it. This case, which was designed specifically for the SG makes sure to support the entire neck and suspend the headstock.

Fit issues for Gibson SG

Gibson SG owners beware. I had been searching for a while to find the right case for my 2017 Gibson SG Standard. Like many I read a number of reviews and forum postings before deciding on the SKB 61 case. I have to say that the build quality and case materials are excellent. The case is put together very well. However, while my Gibson SG did fit snugly in the case I discovered a major design issue upon closer inspection. The angle of the Gibson SG headstock causes it to bottom out in the case resulting in the top of the neck not having any support at all. I was able to fit a finger between the guitar neck and the upper neck cradle in the case. This is a recipe for stress cracks in the neck down the line. Needless to say I will be returning the case.

    This SKB case smokes anything that Gator or Gibson can offer. And the fact that SKB has a lifetime warranty that they will fix or replace is a big plus.

  • Fit Gibson SG perfectly! And GC promptly shipped case.

    What are the interior width measurements for the upper bout and for the lower bout? This is a question about guitar fit in the case.
