Hiscox PRO-II-EF Electric Guitar Case

ho da poco finito di assemblare la mia tele custom.. la chitarra migliore (e probabilmente la più costosa) che mai avrò!!
finora avevo una mexico e sono sempre andato in giro con una custodia morbida e pochi patemi.. ma ora è diverso, devo proteggere la mia piccola da qualunque pericolo!!
ecco quindi che mi son preso la hiscox!!
ce l'aveva anche un mio maestro e gliela invidiavo da allora.. quando poi ho visto la pubblicità con 5 persone in piedi sulla custodia mi sono convinto del tutto!!
superbamente costruita, materiali di ottima qualità (passerei ore ad accarezzare la fodera interna) e calza la mia tele come un guanto.. e adesso quando sono in giro a suonare non ho più paura di dove l'appoggio!

PROS:
Extremely well built
Small in size (for Strats & Teles)
Attractive
light in comparison to other cases that offer PROPER protection.

Cons: I wasnt given the case for free ;) NONE AT ALL


For those of you that are not familiar with Hiscox cases, these cases are an excellent choice when it comes to value for money coupled with reliability & craftsmanship.

They come in three models:

Hiscox Liteflite Standard

Hiscox Liteflite Pro-II (this is the one i have)

and the professional model, the Hiscox Liteflite Artist.

I came across these cases after spending over a month looking for a case for my strat, that was capable of being used on flights, but at the same time was not as heavy & as cumbersome as flight cases are.

There are many cases out there that are cheaper, look great & claim to be able to protected our beloved instruments BUT when it comes to actual performance, they fall short. (do your research and you will see for yourself)

I too have seen the video on the Hiscox site with people standing on it etc, but i want really interested in that, i was more interested in how they were built & to what stats.

To make a long story short, they cover ALL of the avenues that one should be looking for when buying a good guitar case.

Go to their site and watch the video, all shall be revealed.

I also actually called Hiscox (i like to try to contact the actual manufacturers of expensive products just to test their aftersales behaviour & whether i will encounter problems with their warranty should the need arise) and the help & advice that i got was invaluable, Kudos to them for GREAT customer service!

Last but NOT least, many thanks to Thomann's for shipping out my case free of charge-i had placed an order for some other items the previous day and that order went through.

I had ordered the case on another so called 'reputable' dealers site, but after 2 weeks those jokers still hadn't even sent the case out to me, so i contacted Thomann's and asked if they would include the case with my previous order-they said it was too late it had been already shipped, but that they would ship the case out free of charge.

Great customer service, in a time when many stores are substandard in their service towards their customers.

More importantly, Thomann's were under NO obligation to ship me out the case free of charge (shipping fees people, not the case lol)

Many thanks Thomann's, the case is even more beautiful (if a case can be described in that manner) in hand.
