ballaterquine Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Looking for a new or used hard bodied guitar case for a Yamaha Pacifica...so it can go on its holidays...8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'd like to point you in the direction of this for sale thread:http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equipment/62349-fs-hiscox-hardcase.htmlThe Hiscox cases are classed as 'light flight'. A full on flight case will cost 200+, though they could probably be used to break into Fort Knox. The Hiscox EF is the 'Fender' model case so it will accommodate for the neck angle of your Pacifica. They retail at 86.99 so ~50 is a good price if it is in good condition.If I remember right, they can withstand 2 tonnes of pressure or so.

HateEvent Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I don't have any direct experience of them so cannot comment unfortunately.I'd need to see one to have a proper opinion. Either way, if you value the instrument enough, you won't compromise on something this important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
