Guitar & Bass Cases

Every gig starts and ends with loading in and loading out, and a hardshell case is what stands between your instrument and everything that happens in between. The cases here from Schecter, ESP, and TKL are built to handle real-world stage life — rigid outer shells that shrug off knocks and stack cleanly in a van, with plush interiors that keep your neck, headstock, and body from shifting in transit. If your guitar is your livelihood or your pride, cutting corners on protection is a gamble that rarely pays off.

Fit matters more than most players realize. A universal hardshell covers a wide range of body shapes and works well when you're rotating between instruments, but a model-specific case — shaped precisely for a Solo-6, a Tempest, or a Stiletto bass — locks your instrument in place with almost no interior play. Less movement means less wear on the finish and less stress on the neck joint over hundreds of shows. Bass players should also pay attention to interior depth and hinge strength; a heavier instrument puts more leverage on the hardware with every drop and stack.

LV Guitars carries dozens of hardshell options spanning practical everyday protection to more robust road-ready builds. If you're gigging regularly, touring occasionally, or simply storing a prized piece of your collection, there's a case here built for how you actually use your instrument — not just how it looks on a shelf.
