Harley Benton Flight Case Wood Guitar

I'm not a frequent flyer (or I don't use to bring with myself the guitar on business :D) yet I have sometimes to take the instrument with me travelling on trains. The standard cases are good, yet they're better to keep an instrument in safe condition from humidity etc, because you always take some hurts on the cage and they're not eternal.

PROs
This one seems eternal, a huge, heavy battletank, While it's e great choice for travelling, it's also good for keeping the instrument in safe condition when not using it or storing it. I used to keep the instrument in this case while I had to do some masonry works at home and dust during those kind of works enters everywhere. Not in this case, so I can guess it's perfectly sealed (good since in flight the temperatures maybe affecting items).
The handle is well made. The case weights a LOT, so the grip is made to reduce the stress on the hand.

CONs
The only negative side, is the weight. But I see it as a necessary thing.

So, the case is a really good one, both for protecting a valuable item from damages than for keeping an instrument in safe condition if you're not going to use it for sometime.

I bought this to ship a telecaster oversees. Though it will be delivered by car, I wanted to make sure it is well protected.

It is not very heavy compared to what I have been expecting and definitely robust and will protect your instrument.

Pros,
- super affordable for a flight case you can trust (well, some loaders in airports are just monsters, some can destroy any case or baggage in my honest opinion. This wouldn't live up to them either.)
- flexible to use for many different designs with additional soft padding with some cloths
- lightweight for a flight case
- bumpy steel corner protectors are very important and nice additions!
- handle is very robust, well designed for the robustness, not for the look of it. I like how good and simple it is.
Cons,
- Better quality inner padding could be used
- One suggestion would be adding a middle support belt made out of aluminum. Though this would make it tad bit heavier.
- it is not a direct cons, but if you're looking to protect a specific guitar, you need to make your own additional padding (especially for the headstock) against the guitar moving around.
In short, if you have a guitar that will see lots of road and airport and you're looking for an affordable guardian, this wouldn't make you regret at this point.

Rock solid with great latches that arent flimsy like most.

Ive tried a lot of hard cases and this is my favourite for looks and safety, a bit on the heavy side but an extra kg or two doesnt mean much. Could have more foam for smaller guitars as an extra but i bought my own for £2 on that auction site...

Very good price, a flight case this good and this well made is hard to pass up, and so i did not.

Dimension are 16cm in the thickest point which should be noted, its slightly longer by 4cm than normal cases (gator, ibanez prestige etc standard length) and 2/3 cm wider too. In all its a slightly bigger case but provides all the protection you need, especially on easy to damage and scratch corners.

Definitely would recommend over most other cases, looks perfect for black guitars (using with Washburn Parallaxe PXM20 matte black) price and quality very good.
Will buy again for future guitars for sure. Easily stackable, no worries with this solid case

the body area is wide and spacious, to accomodate almost any guitar, but if you want a snug fit, buy some extra foam padding....heavy and rugged....as stated in my review of the harley benton guitar i ordered, it was being shipped to america....i bought the case JUST SO it would be protected during shipment...the guitar and case came togther, but packed separately inside a larger box....why would these guys NOT ship the guitar inside the case? ITS A FLIGHT CASE...thats what its FOR....right? still, it arrived intact, and im satisfied, just a bit confused on the line of thinking here...i would buy again, but i'd make sure to verbally ensure that the guitar was packed and shipped in the case that i ordered with it...i would definitely make this a common sense policy with the shipping department if i worked there.
