SKB 1SKB-300 Baby Taylor / Martin LX Guitar Hardshell Case

The 1SKB-300 is a molded-plastic hardshell case for Baby Taylor, Martin LX and similar sized acoustics.

It features molded bumpers that protect the latches and areas that can get bumped, which together with its molded plastic exterior makes for a very reliable case.

The inside of the case is lined with plush EPS foam with neck cradle that better secures the instrument inside the case.

Finally, it comes with reinforced latches that can take on the rigours of regular transport and gigging.

  • Middle Bout: Not Specified
  • Upper Bout: 9.25"
  • Neck Length: 18.5"

Pros

Users describe this as a solid and reliable case for little / baby style guitars. Its strong and sturdy exterior gets a lot of thumbs up, while others are impressed at how light it is given its durable design. As expected, Martin LX series and Baby Taylor guitars fit well, but there are also reports of it working with other guitars including the Yamaha APXT2, Sigma TM15E, Yamaha FG JR-1 and other parlor style guitars.

Cons

There are a few Martin LX owners who feel that the fit is a little too snug. While other parlor guitar owners find the case too big. Some users wish for TSA (Transportation Security Administration) approved latches.

Overall

If you're looking for a reliable yet reasonably portable hardshell case for your Baby Taylor or Martin LX series acoustic, then check this out.
