Hardshell Cases for a Jaguar
I recently looked into getting one, so as a public service I’m listing every case I encountered where somebody claimed it fit a Jaguar. I DO NOT GUARANTEE THESE CLAIMS ARE CORRECT.
The old Fender cases from the 60s made by Victoria Luggage are going for close to $400.
Fender’s current case maker is G&G. There are a few variants being sold; all have the same shape but different colors and some different materials. Cheapest to most expensive:
- “Standard” Black tolex exterior w/ vinyl ends, black acrylic interior, plate saying “Fender” under the handle (about $130 )
- “Deluxe” Black tolex exterior , red- orange interior , Fender amp logo on the side(about $140)
- “Deluxe” Light Brown exterior w/ leather ends, with Orange-Gold interior, Fender amp logo on the side (about $140). (the one pictured at Thomann looks orange-brown, not sure if it’s just the same)
- Cases for Custom shop models have a pale yellow tolex exterior w/ leather ends, red-orange lining. I haven’t seen stores selling these cases separately; however factory seconds come up on ebay for about $170.
- Another Fender option, maybe: someone recently was selling a used molded case for a Fender Starcaster (the original 80s guitar, not the new one) on ebay, and claimed that this case fit a Jaguar. However, when I asked what was the basis for this claim he didn't respond.
There are a number of less-costly alternatives around, and here’s what I encountered. People who have tried some of these said, basically,you get what you pay for.
Cases for Other Company’s Guitar(s):
-Dean DHS-HTV, Deluxe Hardshell Case for Hardtail/ vendetta/ AV

-Reverend LCase http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend ... _case.html
(looks just ike the Access case linked below, but with a Reverend logo)
Aftermarket cases:
-Rockcase Standard Case RC 10601B €53.97,. (Maybe Deluxe Case RC 10701 also)

-Rondo Music, $55 http://www.rondomusic.com/product1353.html
- Access , about $70 http://www.accessbagsandcases.com/ac1eg1.htm
(not sure if it’s the standard version of this that fits the Jaguar or a special-ordered variant)

- Hiscox STD-EJAG, £62.00 http://www.hiscoxcases.com/guitar_hiscox.htm

- Gothard Flightcases Jaguar and Jazzmaster Hardcase £79.00

Other: I’ve read posts where people said a “Universal Case” would fit, or a “coffin case”. But it wasn’t clear to me which particular one. If you’ve got one of these that works, maybe post a specific link, or specific maker/ model #, to this thread.

Re: Hardshell Cases for a Jaguar
I use a G&G basscase for my Fender Jazzmaster, it's a fit, but the case is just a little too big for it.

Re: Hardshell Cases for a Jaguar
i found a bc rich case for my jazz for 50 bucks-- it is perfect
I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.

Re: Hardshell Cases for a Jaguar
I am pretty happy with this one (mentioned above already). It fits very well.

Re: Hardshell Cases for a Jaguar
Found another one yesterday; just putting it in this thread for future reference. They're of the "Boston" brand (which is an aftermarket brand for cheap parts, at least on the Euro market). I haven't found that much info on them, just that they're wood (don't ask what kind, and if ply, how many layers), tolex-covered. Typical Fender-style case. They're cheap though, they sell for about € 60 new. The CEG-300-JJ model is for Jags and JMs.
Here's a link to a Dutch shop selling the strat model(without the "JJ" at the end). I found the JJ model while browsing Marktplaats (dutch eBay thing)..someone was selling a Jag in one.

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?
