Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Laminated wood hardshell case shaped for double-cutaway electrics. For players who need real impact protection in a car, van or storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging musicians hauling a double-cutaway electric in a vehicle
- Long-term storage where a guitar needs to hold its shape
- Guitars going into a crowded backline or trailer
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Single-cutaway, offset or hollowbody shapes that won't seat correctly
- Players who walk or bike to gigs — wood cases are heavy
- Anyone needing a backpack-style carry
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Double-cutaway contour
The interior is cut to that outline. A Les Paul or offset body will shift inside and lose support.
Detail 03
Traditional guitar-style shape
Follows the body outline rather than a rectangle, so it takes up less trunk and floor space.
Detail 04
Hardshell construction
Handles stacking, tipping and being pinned in a packed van in ways a gig bag cannot.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your guitar's body and horn dimensions — 'double cutaway' covers many different outlines
- 02Expect real weight; this is not a walk-to-the-gig case
- 03Strings, humidifier and accessories are separate purchases
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Stratocaster-style guitar?
It's shaped for double-cutaway electrics, so that outline is the target. Compare your guitar's body width, length and horn spread against the case interior before buying.
02Will a Les Paul fit?
A single-cutaway body won't match this contour. The guitar will sit loose and lose the support the case is built to give.
03Is this safe for air travel?
Wood hardshell cases give far more protection than gig bags, but airlines are hard on any case. Carry on when the airline allows it.
04How is this different from a plastic molded case?
Laminated wood is stiffer and holds shape under pressure. Molded plastic is lighter and cheaper but flexes more when something heavy sits on it.
