Frequently asked questions
What's the real difference between these two cases?
Both use hardwood frames, vinyl tolex, and monkey fur lining made by G&G in the USA. The Viking War Hammer upgrades to chrome-plated drawbar latches and a leatherette handle instead of standard metal latches and bonded leather.
Which case is better for touring?
Both are suitable for touring. The Viking War Hammer's chrome-plated latches may offer slightly better corrosion resistance over time if exposed to variable conditions, while the Shaun Morgan case provides solid protection at a simpler price point.
Are the interiors the same?
Yes—both feature black monkey fur plush padding and integrated accessory compartments for cables and picks.
Which handle is more comfortable for long carry?
The Viking War Hammer's leatherette wrapped handle is specifically designed to distribute weight comfortably and resist deterioration from repeated use, while the Shaun Morgan bonded leather handle still provides adequate comfort for standard gigging.
