This spring, I'll be doing a fair bit of traveling and gigging with my strat. Right now, since I just have it at home, I have a Kace tweed case. It looks nice and keeps the dust off of her, but I'm not sure it will hold up to the time on the road. So...

What is the best sub $300 case I can get for the strat? Will the HSC tweed i have now be fine or should I look into the molded American stadard case? Or maybe invest in something like the Gator STS case?

OMG it comes in red. Okay, will need to look into these more. Had it come in Daphne it would have been an instant sale. I keep looking at a Classic 50's in Daphne...

Get the new SKB cases that Fender use for most new Strats and Teles. Mine's bomb proof and I've even taken it on aircraft.
