Takamine SH500A Semi-Hard Case for NEX Acoustic Guitars
The Takamine SH500A is a semi-rigid case tailored to the NEX acoustic body shape, offering a protective solution that travels well between sessions without the added bulk of a full hardshell. This listing covers the case only — the guitar is not included. Studio players who move instruments between home, rehearsal spaces, and recording facilities will appreciate the balance of protection and manageable size.
Fit & Compatibility
Engineered for Takamine's NEX-format acoustic body, the interior dimensions are shaped to hold that specific outline securely, minimizing movement during transport.
Construction & Protection
A lightweight plywood and hard foam core wrapped in ballistic nylon forms the semi-rigid shell, resisting impacts and moisture encountered in transit, while the ultra-soft acrylic plush lining inside eliminates contact abrasion against the guitar's finish. The double-slider zip closure, reinforced handle, and adjustable shoulder straps round out the carrying system.
