Title: Anyone recommend a suitable hard case for large headstock Strat?
Post by: everton_fc on October 16, 2009, 01:22:41 PM

Hi - Im unsure if regular guitar cases will fit the slight extra dimensions of a large headstock Strat - does anyone know off the top of their head a suitable hard case to fit a 70's large headstock Stratocaster?

Preferably under £100!

Thanks

My Warmoth strat has a CBS headstock & I have an SKB-66 case for it.  Fits well & IIRC cost around £65.

Gator cases are around £55 and good too  :)

Yeah, I have an SKB too, this one:

I also have one of the older ones without the fancy locks, it's basically a Fender case without the logo.  They'll all fit a CBS headstock Strat.

Hiscox LiteFlite are excellent for the money and very helpful if you give them a bell.
