Why no case for the NF 53?

[88prs]

Maybe one will come? Shawn?

 

[SinSir]

Shawn is gone

 

[Rhythmisking]

He took all the cases and left...

I notice that it says "premium gig bag," whereas most other Bolt-On and S2 guitars just come with the regular (non-premium) gig bag. IMO, there is a noticeable difference between them--and I much prefer the premium one. Short of a true PRS hard-case, the Premium Gig Bag is pretty good (not to mention much lighter in weight).

 

[88prs]

just wondered.... I pre-ordered a SB one due mid/late July

This is getting to be a habit with PRS with these inexpensive gig bags. For a guitar at this cost, they should have a hardshell case.

I "like" getting a hard case, but I quit using them years ago.

 

[RC Mike]

If it’s the same bag as the Silver Sky, it’s a nice bag. I wasn’t impressed with the bag that comes with the CE24. It felt cheap. I don’t understand why they don’t use the nicer bag for all of the Bolt-Ons. The cost can’t be that different, and it would be a differentiator for the line.

I have a Silver Sky gig bag that is the best case EVER. I plan on getting more and tossing the standard bags. They're flimsy and I hate using them for anything other than syoring guitars in the closet.

I have a bunch of great cases - but use SE gig bags to take $9000.00 worth of guitars in to a show.

ALL MY GUITARS ARE IN GIG BAGS, except a 92 Custom 24 (I ran out of gig bags). The hard cases are under the guest bed and keyboard. Most of my guitars are in excellent condition. Try hauling a hard case, tube amp, and accessory bag up stairs in one trip. You can do it with a gig bag. After all, I gig them.

I always take 2 axes, so I got a dual Reunion Blues RBX and I'm guessing that 2 guitars in that feel slightly heavier than one in a hard case.

I use Mono gig bags, but at nearly $3k, it should have a case. My Silver Sky traveled in a Strat case, Fender logo and all. That’s a bit of an embarrassment for PRS, IMHO.

I guess we’ll have standard, premium, and Private Stock gig bags before long. It’s odd.

 

[intothevoid]

There is no excuse for it not to come with a hard case

I live in Pakistan on the coast and the humidity here is a killer. Absolutely no way I’d keep a $3,000 guitar in anything other than a hard case with the dehumidifiers running.

PRS is getting a bit cheap I’m sorry to say

 

[toothace]

IDK...PRSh travels with his guitar in a gig bag...

 

[Bill SAS 513]

Yup...Their CE/SE bags are great bags. (Not quite Mono or Reunion great, but great, none the less)

Times have changed. Few people gig with a hardshell case anymore. Too big and bulky.

My guitars and the hardshell cases just sit in the closet.

When it's time for a gig my guitar comes out of the hardshell case, goes into a gig bag, and goes to the gig.

Makes sense to just sell them in a gig bag from the get go.

Cheaper too. You really want to cough up an ADDITIONAL $300 or more for a hardshell case?

You didn't expect them to throw it in did you?

 

[GADonis]

At this price point, I think it should come with a hard case. I actually use a gig bag, even for my PRSi, when going to gigs. How does the "premium" PRS gig bag compare to a Gator Pro-Go? I use the two guitar version since I always take at least two guitars to a gig.

 

[88prs]

I'll just be happy with the new guitar regardless.... Thanks for the good gigbag comments! Makes me feel ok about it.

Hey Dave:

I "like" getting a hard case

So does the wife! haha

 

[Broseph]

I’m probably a rare bird. I don’t want more cases. I only have so many places to store them. Gig bags are easier. And I appreciate the ones that came with the silver sky. Those should be the standard for bolt ons line. I believe they are standard on the Dustie.

Now if it’s a 4K and up guitar? Yes that better be cased!
