Katie Melua

"I've been using Hiscox's Liteflite cases for years, in fact I'm still using one that I got in 1991 and which has been around the planet about 11 times with me. They are as the name would suggest, both light and tough, with really solid catches too. I've never had any anxiety checking a guitar into the hold when it's in one of these cases."
Simon Le Bon, Duran Duran

"I like my Hiscox case because it keeps my favourite guitar safe, yet is still light enough for me to carry."
Katie Melua

"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful product you have provided for all us wishful thinkers that need to check our guitars as luggage when traveling by air. I have owned Calton Cases (Canada) and found them to be well made and effective but SO heavy. I would leave them in storage until I was heading to the airport in an attempt to avoid shoulder problems. HOWEVER, my new Hiscox LA GAD changed all that. I find I use it all the time for my 37 year old Martin D35, and not just for air travel. Canadian winters can be harsh and the thermal protection of this case is also critical. However, due to the hot summers here, and endless folk festivals and days in the sun, I wish it was available in ivory. I'd certainly trade my black for an ivory... Well done all for a superb product!"
David Bradstreet, Toronto, Canada

"I have good reason to have total confidence in Hiscox instrument cases."
Ralph McTell

"I have been using Hiscox cases for many years now to protect my precious acoustics. They are strong, roadworthy, well designed and in my opinion, the best instrument cases on the market."
Gordon Giltrap

"Thanks for your great service."
The Searchers

"There's only one case I would use to protect my Gibson guitar, the Hiscox Les Paul electric."
Dave Hill, SLADE

"Hiscox cases are the business, they're brilliant."
Nigel Kennedy

"We've used Hiscox cases exclusively for our Strat, Tele, Jazz and Precision guitars. They have been in more cargo holds than I've had hot dinners, and you know what baggage handlers are like!! Bloody marvellous!"
Sean Genockey, MOKE 

"I'm Ben Calvert, singer and songwriter. I've had one of your cases for ten years now. It's been to Australia with me three times, has been to countless recording sessions, has been taken on 6 tours, and has travelled with me to and from 300+ gigs. It has been run over by a car twice, has been used as a snowboard on more than one occasion, and has been thrown out of a two story window. Through all of this the guitar inside has never been damaged. Despite a broken clasp and a bit of damage it is still holding up.
If ever you should consider wishing to consider me to endorse your products, using my experiences of your cases in any advertising media, please contact me. Some of my music can be heard at myspace.com/bencalvertmusic. Thanks."

"Pity Hiscox cases were not around in the 1960's when I was pro muso in Germany with Noel Redding, Pete Kircher and Neil Landon. In a minor shunt with a Volkswagen in Frankfurt the pickup and bridge covers got squashed on to the strings on my Fender 'P' bass and the neck fell off my Hofner 'Committee'. Nobody was hurt and the show went on. But a decent case would have prevented the damage.
I have recently acquired one of Mr Rob Green's finest Status 'KingBass's' with the fairy lights up and down the neck and Suzi Quatro's Status S2, both are in superbly made tough Hiscox 'Flitelite' cases. They make handsome couples and give the instruments the protection they deserve. Thanks Brynn and the team for The Great British Case."
Kevin Lang, The Zig Zag Band

"After several problems and damages to my saxes caused by poorly made cases I came across an Hiscox case owned by a fellow sax player and I've seen the light: my new LITEFLITE PROII alto sax case is just arrived and I'm so pleased about it that I'll buy one for my tenor as well in the near future. I've found your video interesting and informative and I'll do of my best to persuade those few sax player friends still without a proper Hiscox case to get one as soon as they can, I'm going to promote your cases in my Website as well. Many thanks for what you are doing to protect our vital music tools."
Roberto Manzin, Saxophone player

"I'd just like to tell you how much I'm enjoying my Hiscox case. As a five night a week musician, protecting my investments in my equipment is a natural process. The longer the life, the more money stays in my pocket!
My brand new Parker Fly Deluxe Single-2 was shipped to me in a 'hard-shell' case. To my great disappointment it was not a favourite make of mine. Within two weeks one of the latches was broken and the case had way too much flex for my liking.
Since my amps travel in Anvil cases, I thought that would be the fix. Six weeks and $370.00 dollars later my case arrived........Damn! The thing weighed in at over 45 pounds!!......and was huge!!! Granted, it would sustain a direct tomahawk missile attack, but it was just too much to carry. After several weeks of lugging this beast I was browsing the net and saw a Parker Fly in a really interesting case......a Hiscox case. I spent a few more minutes and tracked down the site, sent for a quote and had the beauty shipped the very next day. It couldn't fit any better, is tough and extremely well put together......great price too! Thanks for a great product!"
Linc Davis, New Jersey, USA

"I cannot allow your generous co-operation to go without further mention and thanks. I will certainly bring to the notice of any interested client, your invaluable service, at every opportunity."
C. McGovern, Lancashire, UK

"Thank you for all your assistance and for cases that actually DO protect guitars, even from airline baggage handlers."
D. I. Gilliland, N. Ireland. Musician with "Riverdance – The Show"

"I have been using cases of all descriptions to supply my guitars and by far the best value are definitely your own Liteflite cases"
Jeff Kemp, Classical Guitar Maker, New South Wales

"I am very impressed with my cases…… and congratulate you in your excellent after sales support. I will certainly be recommending your cases in the future. Great work guys. Your excellence has proved that you exceed all expectations."
M. I. Arrowsmith, Warwick, UK

"As a pro guitarist, I've been doing a considerable amount of touring, during which my Hiscox Liteflite case suffered a lot of wear and tear. I contacted Hiscox and they were incredibly helpful. I posted my poor battered case to them and, hey presto, one week later the case was returned with new hinges, catches, the lot. I'd like to thank Hiscox and recommend their products and services to fellow musicians."
M. Lineham, Cheshire, UK

"Hiscox Liteflite cases will always be on the tip of my tongue when asked for an excellent music case manufacturer."
J. Wyndham, Essex, UK

"Please accept my congratulations on your product. In my mind at least, here is a British product whose design and construction lives up to what the purchaser expects of it, and for anyone with an instrument to protect, it is money well spent and cheap at the price."
C. P. Truesdale, Suffolk, UK

"Like most professional musicians, I believe the quality of flight cases is something that cannot be compromised and for that reason, buy Hiscox cases. If I had known that the 'after sales' service would be so brilliant (especially as this after sales period has been 10 years and many hundreds of tours and dates), it would have been yet another reason to buy Hiscox cases."
P. Orchard, London

"I'd just like to say thanks to all at Hiscox. I was involved in a car crash last year on my way home from a band practice. My most recent purchase, a Spector bass was in the boot of my car in a Hiscox Liteflite case. The car was struck from behind and was written off - I feared I'd lost my bass! However, thanks to the strength of the case, my bass survived in one piece. Unfortunately the case was destroyed, but in my eyes it had done the ultimate job of protecting my bass."
J. Gordon, Scotland

"I am very pleased with my new PRO-GCL-L guitar case which I received today. I bought it to replace a case that cost me more 7 years ago than the new case. The PRO-GCL is much better made and my guitar fits it well with no movement at all. It is nice to see that a British company is leading the field. I would say that you are producing the very best possible product for the price. Well done and thank you."
M. Hupman, Northamptonshire, UK

"Thought you might like to hear what happened to my Hiscox case in 1988. Its something I have been meaning to do for a very long time just haven't got around to it.
I still have the case, and it still does its job brilliantly!
I was joining the M6 motorway at Luton airport going North, traffic at a stand still, just edging my way into the slow lane, boot loaded with luggage, precious Yamaha, APX10 Custom Guitar in Hiscox case on top, pretty much where the parcel shelf would be if I hadn't taken it out, of the brand new Ford Sierra I had borrowed from a chap at work.
An Irish, articulated 40ft container truck came flying down the slip road behind me, brakes had apparently failed and hit me from behind doing about 50mph. Every window shattered, car now 12" shorter, Hiscox case and luggage flung up the motorway!
Once over the shock, I collected the case, looked fine except for a small ding - guitar absolutely fine!
The guitar and case were bought at Machine Head Music in Hitchin, Herts around 1987. It was probably one of the first Custom APX10 in the country having been carried over by hand from the Hamburg music show as a sample. I still gig with it and it still has the original case.
Cheers and thanks after all these years!"
Terry Rielly

"Dear hiscox case company im writting in regards to your life lite case which i sed up til my accident. I was most impressed by its grateful protecion. you see about a month ago i was in an accident on an icy rode in which i was struck by to mack trucks.

The case had was smashed and cracked,with ice, and tire marks but. to my surprise the cello was fine just needing the sound post to be replaced and one opend seem. I thank you your fine craftmenship did what you set it out to do protect my cello. so for this i give you my many thanks."
Alaric Leidenschaft

"I've used Hiscox cases for over 10 years, (I have four).
Bought my first one, which was run over by an artic truck - my beloved 6o's Strat survived unmarked, and stll in tune! The case was slightly cracked and the handle broken, but I'm still using it today for a spare.
When I buy a new instrument, I always add the price of a Hiscox case to the budget as I know it will have a safe "home"."
