  • Fully protective dunnage construction distributes impact forces evenly
  • Exclusive design for Takamine Classical and Hirade Series ensures snug fit

Frequently asked questions

Will the SH200A fit my Takamine classical guitar?

The SH200A is designed for dreadnought body shapes. While it lists Classical/Hirade Series compatibility, the SH300A is purpose-built with a contoured Styrofoam shell specifically for classical guitars and is the better choice for that body style.

Can I use the SH300A for a Takamine dreadnought?

No. The SH300A is engineered exclusively for Takamine Classical and Hirade Series classical guitars and is not intended for dreadnought or other non-classical body profiles.

What is the main construction difference between these cases?

Both use ballistic nylon exteriors and plush interiors, but the SH300A includes a Styrofoam inner shell contoured to classical body shapes with dunnage construction, while the SH200A uses lightweight plywood and hard foam for dreadnought compatibility.

Are both cases equally protective for gigging?

Both are semi-hard cases suitable for gigging. The SH300A's Styrofoam dunnage design is optimized for classical guitar impact distribution, while the SH200A provides rattle-free protection for dreadnoughts; protection level depends on proper fit to your guitar's body shape.
