The Visesnut hardshell case is small (fits in most standard
overhead airliner storage bins), light (weighs only seven pounds), and strong.
The
Visesnut case's body is made from a unique double wall structure designed to
absorb impacts and insulate from extreme temperature changes. The handle
is large, comfortable, and made of leather for flexibility and
durability. The 4 locking latches are stainless steel and the back pack
straps (included with the case) have very secure locking nut “D” rings,
tested to withstand a one hundred pound drop test. There are no
protruding latch parts to impale a guitar if the lid accidentally closes
while removing or replacing an instrument.
The Visesnut case
lid stop strap is designed to ensure that the case lid remains open when
removing or replacing
a guitar; there is also a redundant lid support stop on each nickel
plated brass hinge. The case's exterior bumpers are cushioned durable
plastic
widely placed on the case to ensure stability when the case is standing
in either a vertical or horizontal position. The lid and body meet with a
special cushioned gasket which seals humidity inside the case, repels
outside precipitation, and secures contact between the case lid and
body. This feature
assures superior case strength and integrity in the event of severe
exterior shocks and blows.
The case's interior is lined with a
soft plush material and a unique adjustable cushioned suspension system
which allows the case's side padding to be adjusted via a support belt to fit the outline of just about
any standard and many smaller size classical guitars. Whether you have a
very large bodied Ramirez 1a or a petite smaller bodied Torres, the
interior can be adjusted in seconds to hug a guitar's sides by using the
case's unique velcro adjustment straps located in the case pocket. Once
adjusted, these straps maintain the shape to which they were fitted.
There is no need to re-adjust these straps unless you wish to insert a
different size guitar into the case. This adjustment feature is unique
to Visesnut cases.
The neck supports are completely cushioned
and gently support a guitar's neck in all directions when the case is
closed. This feature protects a guitar's headstock from dangerous shocks
in the event the case is dropped. The interior accessory compartment
has a soft hinged lid which is easily removable with a Velcro
attachment.
