I’ve just got my hands on a B.C. Rich Mockingbird guitar, and I couldn’t be more excited! This guitar is not just incredible in terms of sound, but its unique shape has made me realize that I need a case that offers both protection and a snug fit.
I’ve started my search for the right case, but I could really use some feedback from fellow guitarists and owners about what to look for. Here are a few things on my mind:
Protection: Since the Mockingbird has quite a distinctive shape, I’m concerned about finding a case that keeps it secure and safe from any bumps or drops.
Fit: I’ve read that some cases might not accommodate the Mockingbird’s curves properly. Has anyone found any cases that fit perfectly?
Material: Are there certain materials to look for that provide the best durability without adding too much weight?
Price Range: I’m hoping to find a case that doesn’t break the bank, but still provides quality protection. What’s a reasonable price point for a good guitar case?
I’ve come across a few options online, but I’d love to hear from anyone who might already have recommendations based on actual experiences. What cases are you using for your Mockingbird, and are there any that you’d specifically recommend or avoid?
Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions! Let’s keep our precious guitars safe!
I’ve had my B.C. Rich Mockingbird for over five years now, and the case has held up wonderfully! It’s made of a durable hard-shell material that has protected my guitar from various bumps and drops.
The foam in mine is still in great shape! It’s also designed to fit snugly around the instrument, which prevents movement during transport. No dents or anything after all this time.
I agree! My case is a lightweight plywood with plush lining inside. It has been resilient against wear and tear, even getting tossed around on stage. Definitely worth the investment!
My experience is mixed. I bought a cheaper case, and while it looked good at first, the handle started to fray within a year. Sometimes you get what you pay for!
I’ve seen some hilarious cases online. One had a cartoon design and looked barely protective! That said, I’d still be cautious with style over substance.
I’ve tried the B.C. Rich hard case for my Mockingbird, and it fits snugly. The padding is great and really protects the headstock, which is a huge plus for me.
I agree! The extra padding really makes a difference, especially for those who move around a lot with their guitars. What model do you have, by the way?
I have the Mockingbird ST model, and I found that the case fits well but could use a little more depth for the body. It’s not bad, but worth mentioning.
