Calder Guitar Case

Posted on June 2, 2005 Under Design

No, this is not a gun case– it’s a really great new design for a guitar case called “The Calder Original”. The new shape is formed with a “self-reinforcing polypropylene”, which apparently is 50% lighter than ABS, and 30% stronger- and did I mention it’s totally recyclable. This new concept is nicer and more sophisticated than any guitar case I have ever seen. Although the Calder original guitar case is still in the prototype stage, the designer Nick Comer-Cadler, hopes to see it in production this fall. He runs a blog following the progress of production. I’m a big fan, and can’t wait to see one up close.
