About Hiscox Music Co.
Handcrafted cases. Independent makers. A shared devotion to the craft.
Our Story
For more than forty years, the Hiscox name has been synonymous with British craftsmanship and innovation in instrument protection. What began as a family-run workshop - designing and building lightweight, virtually indestructible guitar cases in the UK - has grown into a story recognised by players all over the world.
Today, that story enters a new chapter. One that honours the past but looks firmly to the future.
Carrying Forward a British Legacy
Hiscox Cases were born out of a simple but powerful idea: that musicians deserved a case that could truly protect their instruments from the knocks and extremes of the road. Over the decades, that idea shaped an entire industry standard - trusted by some of the most respected builders and players worldwide.
After years of manufacturing in the UK, production has moved to our long-term partners in Poland, where the same proven designs and tooling continue to evolve under expert hands. The same Hiscox strength. The same design philosophy. Built for a new generation of musicians.
Championing Independent Makers
Still led by the Hiscox family, Hiscox Music Co. is the official UK home of Hiscox Cases - and a boutique showroom for handmade music gear. Our goal isn't just to distribute cases. It's to champion independent makers: boutique guitars, handmade pedals, amps, straps, and accessories - all designed and built by people who share the same obsession with quality, innovation, and sound that's defined us from the start.
The music-making scene is more creative than ever - full of independent builders, craftspeople, and brands producing exceptional gear. Many of them lack a central platform to showcase their work to a wider audience. Hiscox Music Co. is our answer to that: a curated space for musicians who want to buy products with real stories behind them.
The Showroom & What's Next
Our Derbyshire base hosts a dedicated showroom - a space where players can come to try gear, meet makers, and see what real craftsmanship looks like up close. It's also home to our growing range of Hiscox cases, including new Pro2+ models and bespoke logo services for instrument makers.
This new chapter is about connection - between makers, musicians, and the craft itself. Born from forty years of innovation and ready for what's next.
