Fibre Glass Classical Guitar Case

MINMOUSE

My daughter needs a new guitar case as has damaged her existing one. She has asked for a fibre glass one. Bit unsure as want her guitar protected as is worth £1200 just wondered if anyone could recommend a place to buy one. Local guitar shops here (edinburgh) do not stock them.
Thanks

Try these people. Their cases are as good as it gets.

She presently has a hiscox one however she has to travel with guitar and wanted the lightest case she could get.

Just searched for Music shops in Edinburgh - found this at Rikkis - http://www.rikkismusic.com/epages/BT3146.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3146/Products/chord-guitar-case-127127

Also there is a guitarguitar in Edinburgh, check out their website - http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/hardcases.asp - they seem to have a good selection.

Hope that helps.:D

Guitar guitar and Red Dog in Edinburgh only have standard or soft cases.

That's the maker's website, by the look, but I can only find actual stockists in Canada.

If you fancy setting up a small retail business, you could consider getting the minimum order number from the maker, and be the sole stockist in the UK ...

...which is a Hiscox?

I thought they were virtually indestructible.

I did too but the case (not with guitar in it) fell off a low table and one of the locks broke in the process:(

If it is only the lock damaged have you tried contacting hiscox as they may stock spare parts such as locks. Most are secured via pop or blind rivets and you can buy a pop rivet gun for around £20 and instructions for riveting on you tube. You can get the old rivets out with a dremel type drill. Sounds complicated but quite easy and potentially alot cheaper than a new case.

We've just replaced the wheels on my daughters tuba case using the above (£4.95 for wheels plus gun vs £400 plus for a new case).

reqading around alot of people have just had catches /locks replaced on case. I'd phone them and see what can be done.
