Now that you have purchased your new guitar it is important to consider exactly how you are going to store and transport the instrument safely and without causing any damage. The answer is a case or gigbag.
Cases are a rigid transport box and offer the best protection for your guitar. They are made from either vinyl or material covered wood or moulded ABS plastic. An alternative choice is the gigbag - a soft case that is easier to carry than a case. Lightweight gigbags vary in thickness according to the amount of padding they have.
A guitar stand is a very practical way of preventing damage to your guitar. Available as a single stand or multiple one for those lucky enough to have a few instruments, this is an accessory which no guitar player can do without.
