Frequently asked questions
Will either case fit my instrument?
The Tempest SGR-4T is molded for 4-string bass guitar dimensions. The SGR-13AC is molded for full-size acoustic guitars. Each case's PE molded interior is shaped specifically for its intended instrument, so fit depends on owning the right type.
Are the protection features the same?

Which is better for gigging and touring?
Both are equally durable for gigging and touring. The through-bolted handle design and rigid PE construction are identical, so protection quality is matched—your choice depends solely on whether you're transporting a bass (Tempest) or acoustic guitar (SGR-13AC).
Can I lock these cases for security?
