Calton / Archtop / 2020 / Red / Guitar
|
An absolute must for anyone taking their pride and joy out on the road is a high quality hard shell case, such as this awesome Calton Electric Guitar Case. This particular one is fitted for the 17" larger archtop style of guitar, and as seen in the pictures it provides excellent support to our L5 CES and Gretsch Convertible (neither of which are included in the sale, unfortunately...).
It provides incredible support (great for those fragile Gibson headstocks…) and the fibreglass construction makes for an incredibly sturdy solution for the working musician.
If you do not fancy our example you could always buy a new one from Carlton in Austin TX, which would set you back $1,500 plus shipping and import taxes making an approximate total of nearly £1,300, with a 4-6 week waiting time before shipping…
