Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I was wondering if those cheap guitars came with hard cases. I guess not. I remember when I bought my first guitar back in 1982, the guitar was something like $399 and they wanted another $300 for a case, so I didn't get a case

Most come with a gig bag. but mine did not even come with that.

Hard cases should cost around $135 to $150, depending on where you look. Specialty cases will cost more. A good Gator case can run around $200 - but not much more.

But, most come with at least a cheap gig bag. Mine is a rarity in that it came with no case.

I think it was the music store trying to add some easy profit. But instead they got stuck with the case LoL

There wasn't even an option for a case when I bought mine. It is what it is, I suppose.

Fortunately, it fits in at least one of my other cases just fine. I'll likely buy a hard case for it, but it's hard to justify that as a 'new' player. It makes no sense to spend as much on a case as I spent on the guitar.
