Spanish, classical or flamenco, acoustic or electric guitar, it doesn’t matter, the choice of a good bag or guitar case is essential.<\/strong> Think that it will be the house and the means of transporting our instrument, and therefore it must be a place that protects from changes in humidity and temperature<\/strong>, from possible blows<\/strong> and also allows us to transport our guitar in a comfortable and safe way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not all, a good guitar case should have compartments and pockets that allow you to carry everything you need to work or study with this instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I am going to explain to you what types of guitar cases and bags there are, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What types of guitar cases or bags are there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can divide guitar cases into several types depending on what factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitar type<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the type of guitar, we can find covers for Spanish guitar, which includes flamenco and classical guitars. We can also find cases specially designed for acoustic guitars and for electric guitars. In this article I will focus on classical or flamenco guitar cases and bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitar size<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another factor to take into account when buying a case isthe size of our guitar.<\/strong> At present, the size of classical guitars and their covers are divided from largest to smallest in 4\/4, 7\/8, 3\/4, 1\/2, 1\/4 and 1\/8. The 4\/4 guitars are the standard size<\/strong> and all the cases that we will see below are this size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the shape and material of construction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have to differentiate between bag and case.<\/strong> The bag is rigid and can be made of lined wood, ABS plastic, fiberglass or it can be made of a type of foam called Foam and lined with fabric. There are some ABS bags that are made with little squares imitating carbon fiber.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitar cases can be padded or not.<\/strong> Those that are not directly padded I have not put in the article. A guitar, even if it is cheap, is a very delicate instrument and needs a minimally padded case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next we will see the pros and cons of the different types of guitar cases and bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden cases<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are the most traditional<\/strong>bags. We all remember maestro Paco de Luc\u00eda with one of these in his hand. These guitar bags are usually lined in leather or imitation, they are very elegant and give a vintage touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
