Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A soft case cut for a V-shaped electric guitar, sized to a 13-inch lower bout and 18-inch body. For players whose guitar won't fit a rectangular bag.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Owners of V-outline solidbody electrics needing a shaped case
  • Car-to-stage transport where a generic bag slips
  • Players who want a snug fit over general-purpose storage

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Acoustic players — 2.25 inches of depth won't clear the body
  • Anyone checking a guitar on a flight
  • Players wanting one case for several differently shaped guitars

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.

SKB V-Type Guitar Soft Case construction detail

Detail 01

13-inch lower bout

Narrow at the widest point. Cut for a slim electric outline, not a dreadnought or jumbo.

Detail 02

9.75-inch upper bout

Tight through the shoulders and horns. A wider-topped body won't seat down into the shape.

Detail 03

2.25-inch body depth

Solidbody territory. A semi-hollow or chambered body binds and the case won't close cleanly.

Detail 04

18-inch body length

Body only. Measure heel to strap button; the neck and headstock ride beyond this figure.

Detail 05

Soft-sided construction

Light to carry and padded against knocks, but nothing rigid between your guitar and a dropped amp.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your body first: 13 wide, 9.75 across the top, 18 long, 2.25 deep
  2. 02A shape-specific case fits one outline well and won't double for other guitars
  3. 03Soft-sided — get a hard case if you fly or ship the instrument

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will a standard solidbody electric fit?

Only if the body stays inside 13 by 18 by 2.25 inches and follows a V outline. A conventional body sits loose in a shaped case and slides in transit.

02Is this a hard case or a gig bag?

Soft-sided. Padding and structure for gigs and car trips, not the rigid shell you want under airline baggage handling.

03Can I put an acoustic in it?

No. The 2.25-inch depth is a solidbody measurement. An acoustic body is several times deeper and won't go in.

04Why does a soft case cost this much?

It's cut to one specific body outline rather than a generic rectangle, so the guitar sits without slop. Shape-specific cases are built in smaller runs.
