Maximum Protection for Your Electric Guitar!

When it's time to hit the road, SKB's Shaped Standard electric guitar hardshell case is just what you need to keep your Strat, Tele, or other common electric guitar safe from even the harshest conditions. This extremely heavy-duty hardshell case is more than tough enough to protect your guitar from bumps, jolts, and accidental impact. Its plush-lined EPS interior provides you with full-length neck support and features a large internal storage compartment. TSA-approved locks in the 1SKB-FS6's trigger latches also make it a great flight case. When you need 6-string protection you can count on, Sweetwater guitarists recommend the SKB Shaped Standard case.

Note: The Shaped Standard electric guitar case will fit select Stratocasters, Telecasters, and other similarly shaped guitars. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to confirm compatibility for your instrument.

Heavy-duty construction

When you travel with your favorite guitar, you want to be absolutely sure that it arrives in perfect condition. That's why you need an SKB hardshell case. Made from aluminum valanced ABS and featuring SKB's famous molded-in bumper, your hardshell case offers your Strat, Tele, or other common electric guitar unrivaled impact protection.

Full support for your guitar

Sudden impact isn't the only thing that can destroy your guitar in transit. Without the proper support, even a virtually indestructible case can fail to protect your guitar from damaging neck stress. That's why SKB designed its hardshell case with a plush-lined EPS molded interior that provides your guitar with critical, full-length neck support. With your guitar securely cradled inside an SKB hardshell case, you're ready for all of the shunts and bumps of the road.

TSA-accepted locking latches for stress-free flying

Take to the skies with your guitar safely secured in an SKB 1SKB-FS6 hardshell case and get the peace of mind you need to make traveling with your gear totally stress-free. Not only will your 1SKB-FS6 hardshell case keep your guitar safe and sound, but its trigger-release latching system even features TSA-approved locks. This lets you protect your guitar from prying fingers and your case from prying security officers.

SKB Shaped Standard Electric Guitar Case Features:

  • Comprehensive protection accommodates Stratocaster, Telecaster, and similar standard-shaped electric guitars
  • Flexible support means both right- and left-handed instruments are covered
  • Extremely heavy-duty ABS construction with aluminum valance for a tight and secure fit
  • Rigid EPS foam interior with plush cushion lining provides a stable and secure fit for your instrument
  • Full-length neck support gives your guitar the added stability it needs to withstand excessive bumpiness
  • Trigger release latches open easily and snap shut effortlessly
  • TSA-recognized and accepted locking latches let you secure your guitar when you fly

Reviews

Awesome case
My custom Guitar fits in very nicely the guitar was loaded with pickups from Sweetwater as well
Music background: Singer songwriter/ Musician
Nice fit for my Tele
The case fits my tele perfectly.
SKB Strat Case
SKB has really out did themselves on re-creating the Fender Stratocaster Case.
Solid case for the money
I bought this case because it is one of very few compact cases that will fit a strat style guitar and not take up a bunch of extra space and SKB is a company well known to make quality cases and they stand behind them. It's quite compact and lightweight like the 90s and early 2000s Fender cases, but with improved latches as well.

While this case is not one of the extreme abuse cases that will protect a guitar from being dropped out of an airplane and ran over a truck, it is solidly made and secures the guitar perfectly, much better than the standard Fender cases for that matter to the point I may order another to replace the square Fender case.
Great case for a Strat
This case is light and is a great fit for my Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster. It has a nice storage pocket for picks strings, and other small items. My Sales Engineer, Dave Dunsire is always a great resource and Sweetwater gets all gear in your hands quickly.
