Guitar Bags and Cases
If you plan on gigging a lot or travelling on planes/trains etc. I recommend buying a guitar case, otherwise a padded gig bag will do just fine. The Kinsman guitar cases and guitar bags are a very good quality and are also one of the most popular. The Kinsman guitar bags come in three grades.
1) Standard – hardly any padding and one small pouch for music books and accessories
2) Deluxe – quite well padded, with two pouches
3) Premium – extremely well padded, with large and small pouches and a shoulder strap.
The Kinsman guitar cases are made for Stratocasters, Telecasters, Les Paul shape, electric, acoustic or bass guitars. Read the rest of this entry »

Without the guitar body we can hardly hear the sound because as the strings vibrate they only displace place a small volume of air.
