Finding the Right Fit
Every Hiscox case is precision-moulded for a specific family of instruments. A Strat case won't fit a Les Paul. A dreadnought case won't fit a classical. Getting the right model matters, and it's simpler than you'd think.
Here's the quick guide. For full dimensions and compatibility lists, use our interactive case finder.

Classical Guitar Cases
Hiscox makes three sizes for classical guitars: Large (GCL-L), Medium (GCL-M), and Small (GCL-S). The large fits concert and flamenco instruments. The medium fits standard Spanish-style classicals. The small fits parlour and 7/8 size instruments.
Why the Fit Matters
Hiscox cases were designed by a master luthier who understood that guitar protection isn't just about the shell. It's about how the instrument sits inside.
Every Hiscox case accommodates neck angles from 0 to 4 degrees. That means whether your guitar has a flat bolt-on neck or a steep set-neck angle, the headstock is properly supported and the pressure is distributed across the body. It sounds technical, but it's the difference between a guitar that's cradled safely and one where the headstock takes all the impact on every bump.
This is something most case manufacturers don't even consider. Hiscox built it in from day one.
Perfect the Fit
Once you've got the right case model, you can fine-tune it with custom fit cushion pads. Every guitar is slightly different, even two of the same model, and these pads let you pack out the interior so there's zero movement inside the case.
The backpack strap system is worth considering too. Every Hiscox case has four D-ring attachment points, and the dual-strap backpack turns your hard case into a rucksack. Hands free, weight on both shoulders, full protection.
Not Sure?
If your guitar isn't listed here, the easiest approach is to measure two things: the overall length from headstock to strap button, and the lower bout width at the widest point. Compare those to the internal dimensions above.
Or just get in touch. We've fitted hundreds of guitars into Hiscox cases at the showroom and can tell you which model will work in about thirty seconds.
