Keep Your Favorite Classical Acoustic Guitar Safe!

SKB's 3i-4217-30 hardshell case offers military-strength protection to your precious classical acoustic guitar. Following in the footsteps of SKB's wildly successful MIL-Spec waterproof 3i cases, this portable guitar vault won't just keep out moisture, it'll keep out a flood! The SKB 3i-4217-30 case is made of ultra high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin and built to last. It shrugs off impact, humidity, and changes in pressure. Built-in wheels and a comfortable, snap-down-rubber over molded-cushion-grip handle also make the SKB 3i-4217-30 easy to transport.

SKB 3i-4217-30 Hardshell Classical Acoustic Guitar Case at a Glance:
  • Reality-proof construction built to withstand the abuses of air travel
  • A perfectly regulated vault for your classical acoustic guitar
  • Convenient comforts onboard
Reality-proof construction built to withstand the abuses of air travel

If you fly often, then you already know how hard air travel can be in your gear. The SKB 3i-4217-30 is the perfect case for protecting your favorite classical acoustic guitar from the hazards of air travel. In addition to being waterproof, the SKB 3i-4217-30 hardshell case is virtually "airproof" too. Its injection molded, high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin shell can shrug off scrapes and bumps like no other hardshell case on the market. What's more, even the best built hardshell guitar case won't travel well, unless it's TSA approved. Fortunately, the SKB 3i-4217-30 also features TSA-approved locking latches so both your acoustic guitar and your case will arrive in one piece.

A perfectly regulated vault for your classical acoustic guitar

The SKB 3i-4217-30's gasketed, waterproof, and airtight seals allow it to maintain its own independent internal pressure. That means even if you're flying, you don't have to worry about the extreme change in altitude affecting your classical acoustic guitar. In fact, the SKB 3i-4217-30 meets the US military's strict regulations for moisture and pressure resistance, even qualifying as waterproof under full immersion. When all of this adds up to is that your guitar couldn't be safer than it is in a SKB 3i-4217-30 hardshell solidbody case.

Convenient comforts onboard

What's great about the SKB 3i-4217-30 is that its practical perks aren't all there is to it. In addition to being a truly elegant classical acoustic guitar case, it also offers significant onboard features that make traveling with your guitar comfortable and easy. Built-in wheels allow you to trail the SKB 3i-4217-30 behind you as you rush from the car to the gig, or the terminal to the gate. The SKB 3i-4217-30 also features extremely comfortable handles, whose cushioned grips feature snap down rubber coverings. Cushioned handles may seem like a small bonus, but when you been lugging around a case for hours, you'll sure be glad you have them!

SKB 3i-4217-30 Hardshell Classical Acoustic Guitar Case Features:
  • Designed to fit most classical acoustic guitars
  • Built to MIL-Spec standards
  • Injection molded case for superior build quality
  • Made of ultra high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin
  • Gasketed, waterproof, and airtight seals
  • Patented submersible design that's corrosion and impact resistant
  • Continuous molded-in hinge
  • Patented "trigger release" latch system
  • Comfortable, snap-down rubber over-molded cushion grip handles

  • Automatic ambient pressure equalization valve
Serious guitarists protect their classical guitars with SKB 3i-4217-30 3i series cases!

SKB iSeries Waterporof Classical/thinline Guitar Case.

This worked out very well.
It is very sturdy, but relatively light weight. The wheels are very helpful.
The clasps are heavy duty.
I think that it would take a lot to damage the guitar in this case.
I would definitely recommend.

Kenny Plisco was very helpful. He even called to see how the case worked out.

Best case for humidity control

I now have two of these cases. I live in Hawaii where the humidity is between 60% and 80%. SKB guitar cases are the only cases I have found that actually have a rubber gasket seal that makes the case not only water proof but it also makes the case air tight which is vital for humidity control in high humidity locations like Hawaii or anywhere in the tropics. This is the only way to control the humidity out here in the tropics. It's impossible to get a regular guitar case below 55% humidity. But with the SKB case it's no problem. I simply use reusable desiccants and monitor the humidity with the SensorPush wifi hygrometer which by the way is way better than the D'Addario Humiditrak which breaks down after only a few months of use. The SensorPush is the way to go and the SKB case with desiccants if you have a nice acoustic guitar and live in a humid environment. This case is also perfect for traveling on airplanes. The airtight case has a pressure release valve too. This case is made properly. No complaints. The SKB 3i 4217 30 case fits classical guitars perfectly and I also have a Martin OM-28 which fits perfectly.

Fits my 000-15M flawlessly!

Huge amounts of space for equipment. Nice tight snug fit. Peace of mind while my guitar is being thrown in and out of airplanes, falling out of airplanes, etc. amazing!

Amazing Case

I purchased this case for my '69 Garcia (my first guitar) and am so happy with the quality and the fit. The long list of dimensions in the product description helped me assure the fit. Now I never have to worry if my most beloved guitar is safe. The only possible way SKB could improve this case would be to make it fireproof (hint hint).

Good ATA Case

It came in one day late, so I couldn't give it the road test. It looks like a great case. It's light, strong, not too big and has rollers. I believe it's a bit pricey for what you get. At the same time, I would recommend it.
