Frequently asked questions
Which case should a left-handed player choose?
The Phoenix II is explicitly designed for left-handed guitars with molded interior contours shaped for left-hand body geometry. The ST-1 is a right-handed form-fit case and would not properly secure a left-handed instrument.
Can either case fit a baritone guitar?
Yes. The Phoenix II is confirmed to fit the LTD Phoenix-7 Baritone. The ST-1 XL form-fit design also accommodates baritone guitars and extended-scale models, though it is engineered for right-handed instruments.
What are the main construction differences?
Both feature wooden hard shell with Tolex covering and plush interior lining. The ST-1 adds multi-ply wood construction and four metal latches with stitching reinforcement, while the Phoenix II uses reliable latches and a molded handle design specific to left-handed instruments.
Which case is better for frequent gigging and transport?
The ST-1's top-mounted ergonomic comfort grip handle and four-latch closure system are specifically designed for extended carrying and frequent venue travel. The Phoenix II prioritizes instrument-specific fit over ergonomic carrying features.
