unpopular discussion: cases!

Man, I used to love a good, sturdy guitar case. The Ibanez cases from the 90's with the crushed velvet interior.....and that smell....

But once I had a few of them and space got tighter I realized how annoying they are. I can pretty much live with one hard case, one good soft case and be fine, all my guitars are on a rack and I only put them in a case to travel. I was just thinking yesterday of where I can put the damn things so I can have space in my studio for music-making objects and not 20feet of frickin cases.

My PRS gigbag gets the most used.

I do want to get a couple tweed cases for my Strats, but that's just the fucking geek in me.
 
I am a case junkie. I am OCD about all of my guitars having a hard case. When I am taking them out of the house, I have a couple of Protec double gig bags I love. They are bags #1 and #3.

They are crazy heavy when carrying two Les Pauls.

I actually never use cases unless I'm in fact flying with guitars (which happens maybe once every 3-4 years - and even then I try to get them into the cabin somehow). Got two Gator dual gigbacks (el/el and el/ac) which suit all my needs perfectly. Oh, ok, I also have a semi case/gigbag thing for acoustics (those thick styrofoam things) when I bring two electrics and an acoustic and that was it.
Cases are annoying me to no end as you can't slap them over your shoulder or back.

i went with this one for this application! the big rectangles are okay if yer just porting them in a car or a van- but the half mile walk with em at an airport or train station.. uuugh. thisll be a good middle ground between a big honkin case and a gigbag.
 
I have a rack full of hardshell cases in the basement, but always use a gig bag for actual transportation. The Mono dual bag has been a good investment for me.
