Frequently asked questions
How do I know which case fits my Takamine guitar?
The SH400A is designed exclusively for Takamine New Yorker–body acoustics with a precision-fit interior. The SH700A is engineered for OM (Orchestra Model) cutaway acoustics. Check your guitar's body shape and model designation to ensure compatibility.
What is the difference between semi-hard and hardshell cases?
Semi-hard cases like both the SH400A and SH700A combine a plywood and hard foam inner shell with ballistic nylon exterior, offering more rigid protection than gig bags while remaining lighter and more portable than full hardshell cases, making them ideal for active gigging.
Will either case protect my guitar during touring?
Both cases are designed for touring and regular transport. The SH700A specifically emphasizes a rigid frame that resists crushing and deformation, while the SH400A delivers practical balance between protection and minimal bulk for gigging musicians on the road.
Is the interior lining protective?
Both cases feature ultra-soft acrylic plush fabric interior lining that cushions the guitar body and prevents scratches and contact damage during transit and storage.
