Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Wood hardshell case for standard solidbody electrics, up to 12.75 inches across and 2.25 inches deep. For a guitar that has started leaving the house.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Strat- and Tele-sized solidbodies riding in a car trunk
  • Stepping up from a gig bag once gigs start
  • Long-term storage where a rigid shell keeps weight off the top

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Semi-hollow or hollowbody guitars — only 2.25 inches of body depth
  • Wide or offset bodies past 12.75 inches at the bout
  • Long walking commutes; a wood shell is a two-hand 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.

Road Runner RRDWE Deluxe Wood Electric Guitar Case construction detail

Detail 01

41 inch interior length

Covers a full 25.5 inch scale electric. Measure your guitar tip-to-tail, since headstock length varies more than scale does.

Detail 02

12.75 inch upper and lower bout

The interior is cut equally wide top and bottom, so single-cut and double-cut bodies both drop in without forcing.

Detail 03

2.25 inch instrument body depth

Strictly solidbody territory. A thick carved top or chambered body will crowd the lid and stress the latches.

Detail 04

4.5 inch exterior depth

Slim for a hardshell. It slides flat under a bed and stacks against an amp in a trunk without hogging space.

Detail 05

44 x 16.75 inch exterior

About three inches longer and four wider than the guitar inside. Check your trunk and closet before ordering.

Detail 06

Wood shell construction

Holds its shape under load better than plastic or foam, but adds weight and dislikes staying damp.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your lower bout and body depth. Case fit is by dimension, not by brand name.
  2. 02A tall tremolo arm may need to come off before the lid closes flat.
  3. 03Case only — strings, stands and humidifiers are separate purchases.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit a Stratocaster or Les Paul?

Standard solidbodies in that size range fit, since the interior allows 12.75 inches across and 2.25 inches deep. Measure first if your guitar is modified or a reissue with a thicker body.

02Will a semi-hollow like a 335-size guitar fit?

No. Those bodies run wider than 12.75 inches and far deeper than 2.25 inches. You need a case cut for hollowbody depth.

03Can I use it for a bass?

No. The interior is 41 inches long and 12.75 inches across — a bass is both longer and usually wider through the body.

04Is it safe to check on a flight?

It is a hardshell case, not a flight case. If you must check it, loosen the strings and pack soft material around the headstock. Gate-checking is the safer option.
