Headless Club???

I have been seriously considering a gun case for my 27" scale headless. I'm planning on flying with it and there are not too many options for an instrument just 33" in total length and hardly 9" wide...

I had an old Headless USA case that was terrible, no padding but it traveled 500k miles on planes :)

This one has really nice padding and pockets, and they also had a shorter 35” version which might be perfect for you.

Have you ever had issues with people thinking you were carrying a firearm on to the plane? or is that a silly concern?

Funny, with my old case a local TSA agent jokingly asked me if it was a gun/rifle :) but not other than that.

I was thinking about cutting an iron logo with my Cricut and putting it on this one to help limit that problem. :woot: Since it is an actual gun case.

Might have to pack a lot of foam to prevent lateral movement...

Ha, I have a Journey carbon fiber acoustic guitar that came with a branded case that’s almost identical to that, tons of pockets and storage for travel. And it looks like there are some nice straps inside to secure the bass neck in place. This would be a nice fit for a short scale.

I may have been able to opt for the 32" case had I shaved just a bit more off the headstock and gave up on the idea of it being "hang-able"
