SKB FS-6 Electric Guitar Case

This is the second time I buy this case. Since I left it in my home country (Which I have not been to in 6 years) then I decided to buy it again for my new Strat.

I have a gibson les paul hardshell case and also a thomann hollow body case. This case feels and looks so much better than those 2 in my opinion.

I don't know much about fender cases, but just by looking at the pictures I thought this case would be a better fit.

So I would recommend if you need it for a Strat. But also for a super strat type guitar. The one that I have back home fit a schecter hellraiser c1fr that I had some time ago.

Built like a tank. Fits any industry-standard Strat like a glove with pretty much zero play. Nice plush-lining on the inside to protect the paintjob from scratches. The cases lock is TSA-compatible, so no issues when traveling with a plane.
The case has a really quite roomy compartment in the middle which is good for the trem arm, strings, cable, strap, etc.
This compartment does not lock closed, I haven't had it opening and spilling its insides into the case in 10 years of use though.

Probably the best all-around Strat case. Mine has been through hell and back with me in the past 10 years and I would buy it again, anytime, even if it was double the money.

I use this case (cases) since more than 10 years now. The one from Thomann I bought in 2012.

This case has one big drawback - it is not waterproof.

The rest is a dream.
- Fits great (I am using it for my super Strat guitars)
- It’s solidly build, protects the guitar very well
- Has TSA locks (I was successfully using it on different short European flights)
- It’s comfortable - does not hurt you, when you carrying it

Now - as those a re guitar cases, mine have quite a lot of different scratches on them. You almost throw them to the car, bus, or somewhere on stage. It’s normal wear. But they are functioning perfectly over all those years, and probably will function the same way for next decades.

Pure recommendation.

Léger et solide. Je préfère ce modèle aux flightcases rectangulaires qui sont beaucoup plus encombrants.
L'intérieur est très soyeux et ne pose aucun problème pour une guitare vintage. C'est l'écrin de ma strat de 67 !
Par contre, on est obligé d'enlever la sangle, sinon la guitare ne rentre pas. Ceci dit, elle est très bien maintenue et il n'y pas de ballottement de la guitare durant les transports. Il y a moyen de laisser le vibrato, mais il faut appuyer un peu pour fermer ; mieux vaut l'enlever. Le logement pour rangement est assez petit mais suffisant pour le vibrato, sangle (pas trop grosse) etc. Par contre je n'aimais pas trop l'idée que l'ergot (dans le genre simili cuir) avec cette attache en métal touche le manche de ma vieille strat. Du coup, je l'ai enlevé. On ne voit pas de trace et la trappe s'ouvre quand même facilement.

After much research on the internet I decided to buy this case. It looks and feels very sturdy and fits my Godin Session Custom TriplePlay snugly. The TSA lock is an excellent addition when traveling as customs can open and inspect the contents of the case without forcing the locks open.

It's not without its faults, the case has very little place for cables, effects etc. The case smelled very heavily of the industrial glue used to fasten the plush inside material but this was solved by leaving the case open for a few days.

As the case is guitar formed and not rectangular I've had great success in bringing it onboard on all the flights I've been on.

I bought this case for my T-style and S-style guitars. It fits these types of guitar perfectly and I am completely reassured that my instrument is safe in transit and travel. The TSA-approved latches are rock-solid and the key-locking mechanism is the most sophisticated i've even seen on an instrument case. The lining is nice and plush and there is a sizeable accessory compartment great for strings, straps and picks.

I used this case for my Tele guitar when going to gigs with my local band. It has been chucked, kicked and shuv-ed around in all manner of venues and has all ways stood up to any kind of abuse and kept it's contents safe. I've never had to worry about my guitars being damaged when using the product and would recommend to any gigging musician looking for a premium quality case.

I knew what I was buying as I already had an original fender case made by SKB. But this new one has the TSA locks improvement.
The case itself is one of best options in terms of protection and size, it’s slyly smaller than an usual retangular one. Of course, the trade off is less storage inside. I have a MINI and a normal retangular case won’t fin in the boot, this one fits just right.
Interior is snug and comfy for the guitar, in this case a Strat. Exterior is the usual hard wearing material and those locks feel very sturdy. I quite like the quick release/lock system and being 4 locks gives it that extra level of security.
For that price, if you’re looking for a top grade Strat/Tele compact case, this is a winner.
Thomann was perfect as usual and the price tag was just a few quid below the average from other retailers and as I ordered more stuff together I even benefitted from the free delivery.
Cheers!!!

A really good case with good quality. Lightweight and very easy to carry around. The hasps on my case works perfectly and it's easy to unlock and open it. It does not look so cool out but it really is a case that breathe quality, SKB knows how things should be built, and it feels as if this case will last vert long. There are only two drawbacks i can find so far and that is that case pointing straight up with his nose awry when the guitar is in it, looks a bit strange. And that the storage arrangements are very small and i can not fit in the strap in the storage area, but I knew that when i bought the case.
