I was wondering if those cheap guitars came with hard cases. I guess not. I remember when I bought my first guitar back in 1982, the guitar was something like $399 and they wanted another $300 for a case, so I didn't get a case
Most come with a gig bag. but mine did not even come with that.
Hard cases should cost around $135 to $150, depending on where you look. Specialty cases will cost more. A good Gator case can run around $200 - but not much more.
But, most come with at least a cheap gig bag. Mine is a rarity in that it came with no case.
I think it was the music store trying to add some easy profit. But instead they got stuck with the case LoL
There wasn't even an option for a case when I bought mine. It is what it is, I suppose.
Fortunately, it fits in at least one of my other cases just fine. I'll likely buy a hard case for it, but it's hard to justify that as a 'new' player. It makes no sense to spend as much on a case as I spent on the guitar.
