Thread Name: guitar case types- what is best?
Subject: RE: guitar case types- what is best?
I was lucky, my Baby T came in a hardshell cradle!

I have a Calton that I use for my Dreadnoughts in vulnerable circumstances, but it is HEAVY and not particularly well balanced. It has helped my guitars survive BA, EasyJet, Olympic, Go, KLM and Air2000 and the associated baggage handlers, however, with only a few scratches to show for its ordeals.

Does anyone make a carbon-fibre reinforced case, which should be lighter, and stronger.

I also use gig-bags at festivals and MudGatherings, but not for the Martins.
