Frequently asked questions
Will the SH300A fit my Takamine New Yorker guitar?
No. The SH300A is designed exclusively for classical guitar body profiles and shaped for Takamine Classical and Hirade Series instruments. The SH400A is the correct case for New Yorker models.
Will the SH400A fit my classical Takamine?
No. The SH400A is precision-fitted to the larger Takamine New Yorker body shape and will not provide a snug, protective fit for classical guitar profiles.
What is the difference in protection level between these cases?
Both are semi-hard cases with similar construction: ballistic nylon exterior, plywood and hard foam inner shell, and ultra-soft acrylic plush lining. The key difference is shape — each is contoured to fit its specific guitar body profile for maximum support during transport.
Are these cases suitable for gigging and touring?
Yes, both cases are designed for gigging, transport, and live performance. Semi-hard construction provides balanced protection without the bulk of a full hardshell, making them practical for regular transport and handling.
