Best Tele/Strat Budget Case

[tjnugent]

I have started building my collection of Squier guitars, and now I need to find a really good Tele/Strat style case that is considered to be an excellent value. I see cases all over the place, do any of you have a favorite that is amazing for the price?

Thanks,

TJ

I have mixed feelings about cases. I like gig bags a lot, they are lightweight, inexpensive, have a zippered pocket and a shoulder strap, but they are not sturdy and a guitar can get broken. Hard cases are more protective but heavy and clunky. I've probably owned 15 different cases and not completely liked any of them.

Have you tried one of these? It might be what you need.

This is another viable option and about $10 less:

I like this tweed case, but it's a little heavy. It's nice for that special guitar.
The roadrunner case that Ratdog472 suggested is lightweight and protects pretty good.

Nice finds to all three of you. The Rondo display case was pretty cool. Not sure I want to walk around with my guitar showing. lol. I tend to like the case 1935streedrod suggested. Great price.

Pesky, do you have any of the Agile Les Paul's? They are a good bang for the buck from what I hear.

I'm satisfied with the $49.00 from MF.I called and got a deal on 3 of them:$39.00 each with free shipping.
Because I have several guitars that means they are stored a lot and gig bags are hard to store.Cases can be stacked or stood on end side by side.

The brand Stagg have afforable solid cases .Good for the price.I asked the seller and he recommend me those

Malikon got 2 of them a little while ago. Here's the thread from strat-talk.

Those are great looking guitars. They have a cult following just like Squier. I first heard one while watching an amp demo on youtube. I asked a lot of questions at the local stores and nobody knew anything about them. I googled them and boom. I found Rondomusic.com. They do a boatload of business and the guitars keep getting better as time goes on.

Musician's Friend also has ones that are 'cool'

I have one of the SX Les Pauls.. Going on 5 years it still rocks. All mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. I love the feel of it and it was my 'go to' guitar for about 4 years. Lately I have really been into the Squiers again..

This is mine before:



And after:

Had been looking at the MF case for 59.99 then found
the Music123 case for 49.99 with no shipping.

It does fit the gutiar well, no funky smell, and it will
protect the guitar much better than the gig bag.

Pretty good deal.



Best,

Speaking of Gig Bags... There is a company that makes great leather gig bags for cheap....
