Guitar Hard Case
Guitar Hard Case
Can you put a shorter length guitar in a longer hard guitar case?
I have a cheap guitar that I am learning on and am planning to eventually buy a better quality guitar.
My current guitar is 43" long. I was wondering if when I buy a new guitar, will I be able to use the same hard-cover case for that guitar if it is shorter than 43" long?
How snug of a fit is necessary for the guitar?
Thanks!
Correction - it's 41" long.
I say YES it will fit, and it gives you more room in the case to for stuff, like your capo, picks, tuners, etc. Also, your guitar may get banged up a bit. For this, I suggest goin down to te hardware store or something and buying some styrofoam. Not the crappy kind that gets all over the place, but good decent styrofoam, like you can use as a floatation device for a raft. Then, get it cut or cut it yourself to fit the space in the guitar case when the new guitar is in it. When it fits, rip away some of the casing of the case and apply a strong adhesive to the styrofoam and attach it. Then, go and buy some casing that matches the rest of your case so it looks nice. Problem solved!!!

can i hand-carry an acoustic guitar on a hard-case aboard gulf air?
You should try checking their website if there's any information on it. Most of the time, I see passengers carrying on guitars to the plane, so there should be no problem; but just double check with the airline you're traveling to.
