It weighs how much?

[Wakester]

Ok, I've got what may seem to be a silly question:

How much does a PRS Multi-Fit Case really weigh?

I just got my tracking for the case I ordered, and the shipping info through FEDEX says the box weighs in at 20 pounds. I mean is this thing like, lead lined and made with the densest 5/8" ply available to man?

Or, ....Or, am I the lucky recipient of a pre-loaded guitar case filled with the Private Stock I didn't order 2 years ago/ (Not Likely) Or did I I win a gutiar and they didn't tell me yet? (even less likely)

Your thoughts please.

Prs cases are heavy like unnecessarily heavy, but they need to protect those fine instruments

Like I said, Silly Question, right?

My custom 24 case weighs 15.5 lbs

Wow! That is almost twice the weight of the guitar.

Compared to my similar strat case at 11 lbs and the LP is 8 lbs.. first time LP was the lightest anything.

They are HEAVY indeed.
I haven't used them for local transport (practice and gigs) for years.
I got a Reunion Blues double guitar bag for that now.

I have the PRS Gig bags, but I don't trust them in the back of my work van. I have been taking a guitar with me on the road for after work. I was using a Chromacast case, but it was a POS from the get go, so I invested in the Multi-Fit. Now I think I need a sherpa to drag the case around for me.

Look at the gruvgear gigblade bags. I got one for my Hiland, and am very pleased with it. The only negative? It zips backwards, with the headstock pointing to the right. I emailed the company, and they told me that was a conscious decision of theirs.

Seriously, I’ve played a PRS every time I’ve played at church or anywhere else lately, and I’m telling you, a PRS in a case weights 3 times what my Peavey Wolfgang, or Carvin Bolt T do, in their lighter plastic cases. PRS cases are crazy heavy.

Well thrn I guess the Fedex dude is going to get a hernia and a few weeks off from work starting Saturday.

No, they are professionals. They are supposed to train for events like this.

You must’ve gotten the euro-metric bag.

Agree, i think it's the reason why my calves have grown big.

 

[bodia]

You think the multi fit case is heavy, try one of the Paisley or WL/Artist cases..........holy crikey!

But very protective!

I've had some mishaps with other cases, but not with my PRS cases.

When I was shopping for my first PRS and he handed me the Pauls (in my profile pic), I fell in love for sooooo many reasons. But one of the reasons was its weight. Then I paid for it and he put it in its paisley case and handed to me and I practically fell over. He sort of smirked and said, "Yeah. Prs cases are heavy!"

It didn't dampen the love any but my wife carried it to the car for me!

Totally. I can't imagine a PRS guitar getting hurt by any kind of mishap in those cases. I joked with a friend that you could probably safely ship one across the country if you just wrapped the case in a plastic bag.

I actually had one shipped to me with duct tape around the case, no box, and it arrived in perfect shape. It took me a week and two bottles of lighter fluid to get the damn sticky tape residue off the case!
