The new SKB-61 has a re-designed interior to fit all Gibson and Epiphone SG's, except 12 string,and the ESP LTD Viper series guitars, except 12 strings. The exterior of the SKB-61 SG Style Guitar case incorporates superior structural and design features such as a molecular weight polyethylene shell and rigid EPS interior foam to cradle the guitar securely and absorb shock, molded-in bumper design to provide maximum protection for the valance system, and full-length neck support.

SKB's new trigger release latchs are made of indestructable fiberglass reinforced nylon and include a TSA recognized and accepted lock. The over-molded handle is comfortable and perfectly balanced.

The new TSA recognized and accepted trigger release latching system enables you to lock your case and still be inspected at airport security.
