SKB1SKB-SC56 Soft Case for Single-Cutaway Electric Guitars
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Padded soft case shaped for single-cutaway electrics. For players who carry a guitar by hand or in a car, not for checked baggage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Walking or driving to rehearsals and local gigs
- Les Paul-style guitars that a dreadnought bag swallows
- Players wanting more padding than a thin gig bag gives
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone flying with a guitar in cargo — get a hard case
- Strat and Tele shapes, which need a double-cutaway cut
- Semi-hollow or archtop bodies deeper than 2.25 inches
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
2.25 in. body depth
Fits solidbody thickness. A chambered or semi-hollow body will sit proud and stress the seams.
Detail 03
Single-cutaway body shape
The interior is contoured to one horn. A double-cutaway guitar shifts inside and loses padding contact.
Detail 04
Headstock pocket 5.5 x 8.25 in.
Cut for a standard three-a-side headstock. Oversized or reverse headstocks may not clear the pocket.
Detail 05
Soft case, not hard shell
Absorbs bumps and scuffs. It will not stop a crush load or a drop onto the headstock.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your guitar's lower bout and depth before ordering — the fit is shape-specific
- 02Airlines will not accept a soft case as checked protection
- 03Loosen strings slightly for long trips in changing temperatures
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a Stratocaster fit?
It is cut for a single-cutaway outline. A double-cutaway body has a different upper shape and will not seat correctly against the padding.
02Can I check this on a flight?
No. Soft cases do not survive cargo handling. Use a molded hard case for any checked or gate-handled travel.
03Does it fit a Les Paul with a Bigsby?
Measure the added depth first. A Bigsby raises the body profile above the 2.25-inch interior clearance.
04How is this different from a thin gig bag?
More padding and a shaped interior. The guitar sits fixed rather than sliding, which is what causes finish rub on cheap bags.
