PRS Custom 24 hardcase?

Crazyblue1779 · July 2021

Does anyone have any recommendations for a hard-case to fit a PRS SE custom 24 that won’t break the bank?

Ive seen this one https://www.gatorcases.com/products/guitar/economy-wood-cases/gwe/prs-style-wide-body-electric-case-gwe-elec-wide/

which seems to fit the bill but are there any others worth looking at?

It’s primarily for storing the guitar at home , and doesn’t need to be mega tough, but at the same time I’d like something that offers a bit more protection than a gig bag.

Any suggestions?

The Gator you mentioned is fine - But wondering what is going on at home whereby a gig bag is not capable of protecting the guitar - Do you live near a war zone area, or is there a high risk of earth quakes in your region - The gig bag should be fine for day to day protection - I take many guitars to various guitar shows in such bags and no issues at all - Granted I would not want to use such a bag with a van full of pa, drums, 4x12's etc, but if it is me taking, carrying and looking after the guitar, then those bags are fine

Lol no but I do have a pretty small house without any dedicated guitar storage, and 5 kids so although the gig bag will most likely be ok, it’s just a bit more peace of mind having it in a hard case.

Funnily enough I trade in a used PRS a couple of weeks that came with one of those Gator cases and it appeared to be fine - Sold the guitar/case later

Mine lives in a Hiscox LiteFlite Standard with the correct internal shaping.

The main problem with gigbag storage is that, if you lean the guitar against anything, the stock PRS SE machineheads get pushed out of tune. S2 locking 'heads also do this.
