Calton Dreadnought Case 2021 - Smooth Bronze Sparkle

Calton cases are the gold standard for serious acoustic guitar transport — hand-laid fiberglass composite construction that is virtually indestructible, used by touring professionals worldwide who cannot afford to have an instrument damaged in transit. A new Calton dreadnought case runs $1,785 at current pricing. Used Calton cases sell quickly and hold their value better than any other guitar case on the market, precisely because the case itself is essentially indestructible and the protection it provides is irreplaceable for anyone traveling with a valuable instrument.

This example is in very good condition in Smooth Bronze Sparkle — a warm, metallic finish with a subtler shimmer than the flashier Calton color options, professional and elegant in appearance. The interior is in excellent condition with new case smell still present. All latches and the handle are fully functional and original. One honest note: there is one small spot where wear has gone through the clear coat on the exterior — visible in the photos and noted honestly, cosmetic only and does not affect the structural integrity or protective function of the case in any way.

Interior dimensions accommodate a standard dreadnought body: 42.5" length, 15.75" lower bout, 10.75" waist, 11.5" upper bout, 4.5" depth excluding lid. Guitar not included.
