When traveling with an acoustic guitar, having a case or gig bag is probably the best investment you can make for your instrument. Protecting your acoustic guitar is always a top priority for musicians and cases and gig bags ensure your gear gets to its destination in the same condition as when it left, whether it's just around the corner or across the country. How often you play your acoustic guitar and how often you travel with it will be a determining factor in how you choose to protect your instrument. Gig bags are soft and more lightweight, don't take up much space and are easy to transport across short distances. Cases are harder, tougher and offer extra padding and durability, making them a great choice for airline travel or longer tours. Both have their own benefits and having one of each is a great idea too. That way you're always prepared no matter where you're playing.

Choosing the proper size case or gig bag for your acoustic guitar is also very important. The fit needs to be snug to keep your instrument from moving around inside. You'll find cases and gig bags made for specific models and unusual sizes, while some are universal. Another thing to consider when choosing a gig bag or case for your acoustic guitar is what type of features you want. If you're traveling a lot, having multiple carrying straps and handles is going to make it much easier to transport your instrument. Do you need room for accessories like picks, straps and tuners? Then you'll need to look for a design that offers added storage space and extra pockets. And if long-haul destinations are part of your band's routine, you might want to make sure your case has locking latches for added security. Small details like these can make a big difference in the kind of case or gig bag you decide on. Whether you play your acoustic guitar regularly, part-time or as a hobby, what really matters is that your instrument is always protected whenever it's not in your hands. Cases and gig bags offer that protection no matter if your acoustic guitar is being stored in the closet or placed in the baggage area of your tour bus. With a wide variety of cases and gig bags to choose from, you're sure to find the one that's perfect for you and your acoustic guitar.
