SKB 1SKB-6 Electric Guitar Economy Rectangular Case
The SKB 1SKB-6 Electric Guitar Case is a tough, straightforward hard case designed to protect a variety of solid-body electric guitars during storage, transport and everyday gigging.
Part of SKB's Economy range, the 1SKB-6 combines a durable moulded exterior with a rigid EPS foam interior and full plush lining, giving your guitar considerably more protection than a conventional gig bag without moving into SKB's more expensive touring cases.
Protective Moulded Construction
The 1SKB-6 uses a hard exterior shell with moulded-in bumper protection and moulded feet, helping protect both the instrument and the case from the knocks and bumps that come with regular transport.
Inside, a moulded EPS interior supports the instrument while the plush lining provides a soft surface against the guitar's finish.
It's a practical choice for rehearsals, lessons, local gigs or simply keeping a guitar properly protected at home.
Room for Your Accessories
An oversized internal accessory compartment provides space for the smaller things that usually travel with your guitar.
It's handy for storing items such as:
- Guitar strap
- Instrument cable
- Tuner
- Picks
- Capo
- Spare strings and other small accessories

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SKB 1SKB-6 a hard case?
Yes. The 1SKB-6 has a hard moulded exterior with a rigid EPS foam and plush-lined interior.
Will the SKB 1SKB-6 fit a Strat or Tele-style guitar?
The case is designed for a variety of solid-body electric guitars and its dimensions accommodate many traditional designs. However, we'd recommend checking your guitar against the internal measurements before purchasing rather than assuming compatibility from the body shape alone.
Does it have an accessory compartment?
Yes. There's an oversized internal compartment for cables, straps, strings and other smaller guitar accessories.
Is this the same as the SKB 1SKB-66?
No. They're different models. The 1SKB-6 is SKB's Economy Rectangular Electric Guitar Case, while the 1SKB-66 is a higher-spec fitted rectangular case with features including full-length neck support and TSA locking latches.
Does the 1SKB-6 have TSA locking latches?
SKB does not list TSA locking latches as a feature of the 1SKB-6. If TSA locking hardware is important, models such as the 1SKB-66 are better suited.
The SKB 1SKB-6 is a good choice for players wanting the additional protection of a proper hard case without needing all the features of SKB's higher-end touring cases.
