SKB 1SKB-61 SG Hardshell Guitar Case

The SKB 1SKB-61 SG Hardshell Guitar Case is purpose-built to protect SG-style electric guitars, combining a tough moulded exterior with a fitted rigid foam interior that supports the guitar properly during transport and storage.

Unlike a generic rectangular case, the 1SKB-61 has been shaped specifically around the SG body style. The interior holds the instrument securely while providing full-length neck support, helping reduce unwanted movement and giving the vulnerable neck and headstock area additional protection.

It's a great upgrade if your SG came with a gig bag, or a practical replacement for an older original case that's seen better days.

Designed Specifically for SG-Style Guitars

The 1SKB-61 is designed to fit Gibson and Epiphone SG guitars, excluding 12-string and left-handed models.

It will also accommodate ESP LTD Viper series guitars, again excluding left-handed and 12-string versions, as well as some Vintage VS6 models.

Because SG-style guitars have a distinctive body shape and neck angle, a properly fitted case makes a lot of sense. The rigid EPS foam interior helps cradle the instrument and prevent it from shifting around inside the case.

Tough Moulded Protection

The hard exterior shell is designed to handle the knocks and bumps that come with moving your guitar between home, rehearsals, lessons and gigs.

SKB incorporates moulded-in bumpers around the case to provide additional protection to the valance, while the rigid EPS foam interior absorbs impacts and keeps the guitar securely positioned.

You get considerably more structural protection than a conventional soft gig bag without moving into the size and weight of a heavy-duty flight case.

TSA-Approved Locking Latches

The 1SKB-61 uses SKB's Trigger Latch system, constructed from fibreglass-reinforced nylon.

The case also features a Travel Sentry Approved locking latch, allowing authorised TSA personnel to open and relock the case for inspection without damaging the locking mechanism.

A rubber over-moulded handle provides a comfortable and balanced grip when carrying your guitar.
