Case En-Point

Atlanta-based atelier makes your guitar case an airport carousel showstopper.

If you want to bring your guitar along on the road–and why not?–the downside is that more often than not these carrying cases often make you look like you’re El Mariachi. Most guitar cases are made more for practical appeal. Enter Whipping Post, a new Atlanta-based atelier handcrafting fine leather guitar cases cool enough to cart along anywhere your travels take you. The full-grain leather cases with exterior buckled pockets (priced at $825) are hand sewn, using marine-grade threading, and come in three finishes–while high–density foam padding on the interior keeps your instrument out of harm’s way.
