Guys.... since we end up making several guitars a year , they begin to pile up all over the Studio with NO cases ...  I’ve now resorted to simpler and more space saving gig bags over cases ... but still don’t have enough ...  Gotta’ buy some more ... Got 4 guitars waiting .. :’( What are you guys using for gig bags  See a LOT of them out there for all kinds of prices ... I’m just looking for a decent bag (s) for a "good price" ... any ideas What are you using |

Surely you've thought of it but you ought to get some wall hangers and string some of them up around the house. I know that the Musician Friend brand cases are nice as well as inexpensive, the gig bags can't be too far behind. Or start donating to forum members. I'd accept one but I just made the foolish mistake of claiming I already have too many in another thread...  |

Stands and racks are great around the Studio , but I need bags to haul them to gigs and protect them at home In "Guitar Heaven " (cupboard under the stairs ) |

Musicians friend gigbags are the best I've ever used, or seen! I would definately go with some of those.

IL, Thanks , I’ll check them out !!! Chris , I built a case once , hard shell, and it was a Lot of work ... Not as much FUN as making a guitar ... If I had a sewing machine (and knew how to use it ) I know I could make a good gig bag ... but alas , I don’t ... Just have to Buy some ... |

You could build a case and then cut a hole in the front of it and string it like a huge acoustic. Then you'd have a case and a huge acoustic slide guitar.  |

Naa!!! Leave the strings off , make it a case/ foot drum , and passers by could throw coins in the hole ... Perfect for “busking” ... SW, maybe we shouldn’t let this idea get out , then Everybody will want one ... |
