Opinions on hard shell guitar cases

If the case is the star, just how good is the player?

The hard case is usually the best option but sometimes it comes down to how often you play that guitar.

If its only a couple times a year, a case won't protect your axe from overly dry or humid storage.

I would vote for the black hard case. A generic case would be even better to protect the guitar from sticky fingers.

I knew a guy back in Maine in the 1980's who found an old Gibson LP in a pawn shop.
This guitar had the old school black lacquer paint, tuners, and knobs.
It also had three pick ups and it was all original.

He managed to buy it cheap so he could play with his band at weekend gigs.
When the LP wasn't working, he just kept it on a stand.
The first time I saw it, I knew what it was.

I asked him if I could buy it and he said..

"Neither of us could afford it."

He knew what he had and how hard it would be to replace it.
