Moving in to college tomorrow. Should I bring my hard case for my acoustic guitar?

Gonna be going to Emory. I’m in a double suite with 3 other people. Would I need my hardcase for my acoustic guitar? Not that it’s an expensive guitar compared to others ($500), but can I get away with just having a gig bag?

No. Take the hard case.

I’d take the hard csse. Nobody’s going to be deliberately rough with it, but with several people in a small space, it’s better protected. It’s possible that you could get secure storage for it near the practice rooms, but I am guessing you’d like to be able to play without having to go visit your instrument.

I agree. Hard case. Also a very good idea if you are ever going to play out in public.

It should be able to fit in a corner or under a bed. Will be much more protected in a hard case if it will fit in the car.

Right, hard case takes up hardly more space than the guitar itself.

Best wishes. Enjoy.
