Choosing covers for guitars

When buying a guitar, remember that this is a fairly fragile musical instrument that easily undergoes deformation and external damage. Protective covers for this instrument are guitar covers or cases. They help to protect the mentioned object from impacts, environmental influences (moisture, overheating, hypothermia), thereby helping to preserve the original appearance and excellent sounding of the instrument. In addition, in the case you can store not only the instrument itself, but also its components: power supply unit, effect pedals, mediators, a set of spare strings.

Depending on the purpose, covers for guitars are of several types:

1. The heat-resistant guitar cover protects the instrument from the harmful effects of high and low temperatures, and a sudden swing.
2. A waterproof cover is a waterproof accessory in which the tool can be easily transported during rain and heavy snow.
3. The mechanical case for the string instrument protects the guitar from mechanical damage: bumps and scratches.

In addition, the accessories in question are also distinguished by the degree of rigidity: thus, the bass guitar case, however, as for the acoustic guitar and electric guitar, can be soft, semi-rigid and rigid.

Soft covers are made of synthetic materials that are able to protect the instrument from overheating, moisture and dust. The main advantage of such a cover is that it is inexpensive and low in weight.

Semi-rigid covers for guitars are more practical. They well protect the musical instrument during the fall and bumps against a hard surface. The minus of this remedy is that it is more difficult and expensive.

A hard case for a guitar is a case, case or case. They protect the tool as effectively as possible from any kind of damage. These protections for string instruments made of plastic, wood or leather are made. This kind of cover for a guitar (its price, of course, is quite high) is significant weight, and it is not very convenient to carry, but full protection of the instrument is worth it.

Going to buy a cover for guitar, pay attention to the following recommendations.

• At once we will make a reservation: the most correct variant will be acquisition of a cover together with the tool so you can immediately pick up a cover that fits in shape or size. If the guitar has appeared at you much earlier, going for a case, do not be lazy to take the instrument with you. You can on the spot all try on and determine exactly the choice.
• If you are a beginner self-taught musician, then for a home guitar storage, a soft cover is quite suitable for you. Stronger means of protection for the instrument will be needed in case of frequent trips and transportation of guitars from one place to another.
• If in the cold season you take out a stringed instrument on the street, do not rush to get into the room immediately from the cover. Allow it to warm up to room temperature, and only then open and use as directed.

Every instrument needs care and careful attitude. Covers for guitars are practical and necessary things to protect your instruments. They are useful not only when transporting the instrument, but also in the case of its long-term storage.
