SKB SC58 Soft Case V-Style

Attention avant d'acheter, pour une ESP SV (ou série ltd), la pointe gauche de la guitare est trop longue. Je pensais que vu que la housse convenait pour des Randy Rhoads ça irait aussi pour une SV ayant la même forme (ou presque) et n'ayant pas vu d'info sur le net là dessus j'ai sauté le pas.
Dommage, au moins je peux la renvoyé à Thomann sans problème :)
Sinon la housse à l'air vraiment bien, même si les poignées, là où elles sont situées, ont tendance à la faire piquer du nez. Mais bon le mieux c'est de la porter en sac à dos.

This is ostensibly a soft case, but the padding is very sturdy. Much more road-friendly size than a square case for V-style guitars, so you won't be as hated by your bandmates with this when going on the road. A few pockets and compartments for extra strings, picks and other paraphernalia you might want to have with you.

One slight drawback: the notch inside the case which is supposed to house your guitar's strap screw is positioned to one side, i.e. the top edge of the back of the guitar. On a BC Rich at least the screw is actually right along the neck and smack in the middle of the guitar's width. Thus, the strap screw doesn't actually go inside the notch it's intended to go into. Doesn't seem to really matter too much, but the guitar is resting on the screw inside the case and isn't completely flush or flat. The guitar doesn't move around or doesn't seem to be under extra pressure once the case is closed though, so should not be a major issue. Just a heads up.

I bought this case to a BC Rich JRV7, I read it was the only one in which it could fit, and it did fit great! It is amazingly resistant and sturdy, comfortable to transport in my back and, for what the guitar told me, very comfortable inside ;) It only has one flaw: it doesn't stay opened, the lid always closes itself. This is not a big problem, just an inconvenience.

I had a hard case to another V guitar previously and, afterwards, I bought another soft case since I was told it was the only that would fit a Jackson KV7. However I prefer this one, the hard case, although apparently harder and more resistant, is a nightmare to transport (only a handle, no back straps), and I really like to have outside pockets like this has. The other soft case I bought is not as well built, fluffy and stable inside or comfortable to transport as this one. The lid stays opened, but it is a small win compared to its cons.

This soft case is in the top of my favorite cases list, and in my future V guitar purchases I will try to fit them in this case before hand and, only if they don't fit, I will, sadly, opt for another.
