By the way... a holy moly moment... feeling the weight difference between a Gibson brown/pink case and the HP2.

Even better is when you pick up a classical medium Hiscox with a L-00 or a Waterloo in it! At first you keep opening the case to make sure you have everything. The only better thing for travel would be a harmonica...or vocals. The Artist model Hiscox has a shoulder strap (and a nice leather handle) when you get hand cramp, but you can buy one for the Pro II...it has the hooks.

My geib-style case and my Gibson hardshell case are in the attic. My 000 18 and my J 50 live year-round in Hiscox.

I own eight acoustic guitars currently and they all live in a Hiscox Pro II case.

Guess you know where I stand on them, LOL! Just can't beat the protection, "D" rings, light weight and strength for the price.

I keep my Martin CEO-7 in a Hiscox classical medium and completely agree it can feel like it doesn’t have a guitar in it at times. But my Guild M-20 in a Hiscox classical small case just feels crazy light.

Cool! I really like the Hiscox case and am glad that there are other guitar companies using them...

Default The Appliance of Science.

Hiscox makes guitar cases that are designed to be guitar cases. It's the only reason for their existence.

I picked up the Hiscox Artist model last year and I have no regrets -
I believe i got it from guitar Center online sometime around Christmas .
They had a 100 dollars off a 400 or more purchase -believe it was 425 ( after the discount )
which was what the TKL or Martin Geib went for at the time .
Its a way better case -plus the insulation and gorgeous lining -
Glad i took the advice given me on this forum --

Sure, but those are all in the UK.

My Yamamoto VS-12 (US made) came in one.

Maton used to sell their higher end guitars in Maton branded Hiscox cases, but a canny searcher (me - ha ha) can find them now and again to put your lower level Matons in! They designed their own and sold those but now you can order both, I believe.

I have 3 Maton 808s top of the line, mid line and lower mid. The top of the line Maton Messiah 808 came in the Hiscox and I hunted down the others previously...

Absolutely ready to rock and roll or folk it or whatever with Matons, Maton pickup system and Hiscoxes (Hiscoxii?)!!!

Hiscox story.... I have a really nice Martin in a 4 latch Geib case. Been fighting keeping the humidity up in the Martin. Recently switched it into my Hiscox case and humidity now perfectly under control. It’s staying in the Hiscox.

LOL!

Jeff, I’m pretty sure you’re aware that there’s a very, very big world out there beyond the borders of the USA!
