HOW HISCOX CASES PROTECT YOUR INSTRUMENT

Triple Shield Technology
Every Hiscox case has our unique Triple Shield Technology giving your instrument the exceptional lightweight protection relied on by over 600,000 musicians world-wide.

• Crush Strength: Our cases can withstand an immense 500kg (1/2 tonne) crushing weight on them whilst keeping your instrument completely safe inside.
• Shock Absorbance: Hiscox's unique Shock Absorbance Technology reduces even heavy impacts to safe levels keeping your instrument protected even in the toughest conditions.
• Thermal Insulation: Each case includes our Thermo-Balance Engineering that resists changes to temperature, keeping your instrument in tune longer.
   

Hand-made in the UK
Every case is hand made by craftsmen at our purpose-built factory in Staffordshire ensuring superior quality every time.

Foam Padding
The interior of the case has additional padding at key points (body, neck joint and head) to give added protection and security

Thermal Insulation
Our cases react very slowly to the outside temperature so your guitar stays pitch-perfect and ready to play

Flexible Carrying Options
4 external D-rings are fitted on most cases to attach our new range of Hiscox backpacks or a 2" shoulder strap for hands-free carrying.

Handle (without care)
When you lift your Hiscox case with our uniquely designed handle you'll at once notice how comfortable the fit is and how balanced the case is as you walk. We've even angled the case (where possible), so you don't have to adjust your grip as you go up or down stairs. And although no one has invented the 100Kg guitar our handle can easily withstand that pull-weight and more!

The Finest Fixings
We hand-fit the aluminium band that runs around the lips of the case for a super-tight fit that ensures the case is so rigid you can comfortably sit on it. Plus, our double-lipped design adds significant water resistance to the case (should you find yourself in a storm!). And finally, the latches, hinges and handle are securely engineered to the aluminium band so they'll never fall off.

Our latches and hinges are all 100% steel nickel plated so they won't rust and are designed for decades of trouble-free use. The latches are made to our unique smooth, no-edges design so they won't snag or tear clothes, fabrics or your car seat! One latch is also lockable adding that extra important touch of security.

Inside the case you'll find a handy braided fabric retainer which stops the case lid from falling flat reducing much needed stage space. It keeps your lid in convenient reach and the retainer folds neatly away from your instrument to avoid snagging. And all our cases are beautifully balanced so when you remove your instrument they don't fall back.

Hiscox Finishing Touches
Our Bit Boxes give you enough space to carry strings, nuts, capos, picks, tuners and more, keeping you prepared and organised. Each guitar case has a small cavity for your strap pin so if you rest your guitar upright the pressure is evenly distributed across the base block and not on the weak point of the strap pin.

Our case lids are cleverly engineered with our Safe Space design to ensure that no pressure is applied to your guitar's switches and knobs so there's no risk of damage to delicate technology.
