ParticipantHello everyone,
I have a Santa Cruz Tony Rice model that I absolutely LOVE but am starting to look for a case that is more lightweight. I don’t want to give up any of the incredible protection that the Santa Cruz case affords. Is there any case out there that anyone can recommend that would retain the protection but be lighter to carry? I’m in no hurry to replace it.
Thanks!!

ParticipantI’ve seen carbon fiber cases that are nice, but about $1200 dollars. Maybe a MONO gig bag case other than that?

ParticipantA non-deluxe Calton might be lighter, and it’d offer a lot of protection.

Senior ModeratorHi NM and everyone else,
I’m pleased to announce that we now provide a guitar case with superior strength at noticeably reduced weight.
Cases are a moving target and we evolve to meet market demand. Anything that we don’t make ourselves, we designed our own improved versions and have them made to our specs. This includes cases, strings, tuning machines and so on.
We worked with GWW, makers of carrying cases for really expensive scientific and medical device transport, to make a guitar case worthy of air travel. At the time of the first version we used the best available material for a maximum weight/safety ratio. As the materials evolve, so do we. Last month we realized our goal of ongoing improvement with the inclusion of a lighter stronger case with all new SCGC Guitars. The look and cost are the same, with added durability and portability.
Until if, or when, we promote these upgrades at http://www.santacruzguitar.com, please contact us at SCGC@santacruz.com or 831-425-0999 for cost and availability. Thank you.
All the best, Richard

ParticipantIf anyone is in the know, would you mind PMing me the price? I am hesitant to contact SCGC without a commitment to buy, in case it is outside my price range. I generally only need to know if it’s more expense than the Collings cases or not and whether they are larger or smaller (e.g., for the dreadnought shape).
