Surely even a novice guitarist will want to purchase additional accessories when buying an instrument. Regardless of the type and brand of the guitar, you should purchase a special bag for it. A case or case is necessary even if you are not going to transport the tool often. Storage in the wrong conditions can degrade the sound of the strings, while the case will reliably protect from dust and moisture, mechanical damage in case of shock. How to choose a cover for a guitar?
What are string instrument cases?
Before heading to the store for a case, think about how important the density and quality of its material. The cheapest models are made of durable thin fabric. They do not increase the dimensions of the tool, have a small weight. Another indisputable advantage of this category is low prices. You can buy a regular "rag" cover for a guitar for only 500-1000 rubles. Remember that this is not the best option for regularly moving tools from place to place. The fabric cover does not protect against shock. But the dirt and dust of your guitar in it are not terrible. And if you choose a bag of fabric with
water-repellent impregnation, you can safely walk with a guitar in the rain or in very wet weather.
If you plan to take the instrument with you often, it makes sense to choose a soft cover for the guitar. In addition to the fabric base, bags of this type have a foam layer. Of course, such a cover is less reliable than a hard case, but with sharp blows it is much more effective than an ordinary soft bag. Pay attention to the design and the presence of functional elements when choosing a case. The cover should have short handles for carrying in the manner of a bag and a belt over the shoulder. Pockets for trifles will also be useful. It is very convenient to always have picks, notes, cloths for cleaning and cords for electric guitars on hand.
Case or case for a guitar?
An expensive tool - an expensive and reliable protection. Hard cases are called cases. Such cases do not even remotely resemble ordinary fabric bags. They are made of plastic, genuine leather or even wood, have reliable metal fittings. A case can repeat the shape of a guitar or resemble an ordinary, somewhat elongated suitcase. The option of carrying behind your back, as a rule, is not provided - only carrying in your hands. How much does a guitar case of this type cost? Do not be surprised if the price of a hard case is approximately 1/3 of the cost of the instrument. However, cases made in China from plastic and leather substitutes can cost only 1-2 thousand rubles.
For home storage of musical instruments, you can purchase a special cabinet or a beautiful display case. If buying such a luxury is not yet in your plans, a regular case for an acoustic guitar will also help out. Do not forget that, like a tool, a case requires a careful attitude and proper care. Do not forget to clean the cover recommended by the manufacturer as it becomes dirty. Monitor the condition of fasteners, handles and belts, and repair as necessary.
