About Hiscox Cases
Over forty years of British engineering. Protection that musicians trust with their most valued instruments.
Protection System
Triple Shield Technology
Three layers of protection working together to keep your instrument safe from the most common causes of damage.
500kg
Crush Strength
Every Hiscox case withstands a half-tonne crushing weight, the equivalent of five adults standing on it. The Liteflite composite structure distributes force across the entire case, not just at impact points.
SAT
Shock Absorption
Between the outer shell and interior lining sits a proprietary polyurethane blend specifically formulated to absorb severe impacts. Drops, knocks, and rough handling are dissipated through the unified structure before they reach your instrument.
Thermo-Balance
Thermal Insulation
Thermo-Balance Engineering resists rapid temperature fluctuations inside the case, helping your instrument stay in tune for longer and protecting glue joints and finishes from thermal stress.

Built to Last
Every Detail Considered
Anti-Whiplash Guard
Strategically positioned padding cushions against vibrations and blows to the headstock, the most common point of failure. Variable neck angle accommodation from 0° to 4° ensures a secure fit across different guitar designs.
Crushed Velour Lining
Non-shedding, dye-fast to the highest standard (Level 5). The interior lining cushions your instrument without leaving fibres on the finish or bleeding colour onto light-coloured guitars.
Aluminium Valance Construction
A hand-fitted, double-lipped aluminium rim runs the full perimeter of each case lid and base. All hardware (hinges, latches, clasps, and D-rings) is riveted through this aluminium valance, not into plastic. It also provides water resistance and structural rigidity.
Hiscox Handle
Ergonomically angled for comfortable carrying, even on stairs. Tested to withstand over 100kg of pull weight. Four D-ring attachment points riveted through the aluminium valance for backpack and shoulder strap accessories.
Safe Space Lid Engineering
Recessed lid design protects switches, knobs, and bridges from pressure damage when the case is closed. Strap pin cavities eliminate pressure on weak points.
Five-Year Warranty
Every handle, latch, lock, and hinge, all riveted through the aluminium valance, is covered by a five-year guarantee. Built to last decades, not just years.
Water & UV Resistant
The ABS outer shell is 100% waterproof, colourfast, stain-resistant, and scuff-resistant. Wipes clean with a damp cloth. The double-lipped aluminium valance seals the join between lid and base against moisture.
Customisable Fit
Additional matching cushion pads are available to pack out the interior for a snugger fit tailored to your specific instrument. Every guitar is slightly different. Now your case can be too.

A British Legacy
Hiscox Cases were born in Staffordshire from a simple conviction: musicians deserved a case that could genuinely protect their instruments from the realities of travel. Over four decades, that conviction shaped an industry standard, trusted by over 600,000 musicians and more than 140 instrument manufacturers worldwide.
Today, the same proven designs and tooling are built by our long-term manufacturing partners in Poland, where expert hands continue to refine the construction that made Hiscox cases the professional's choice. Still uncompromising. Learn more about the full worldwide range at hiscoxcases.com.
