Hagstrom hardshell cases are manufactured using high grade plywood and feature heavy-duty gold-plated latches, a comfortable ergonomically soft handle, and a deep plush protective lining which reduces interior movement. The case exterior is made of durable vintage tan Tolex, with a gracefully emblazoned Hagstrom logo. Seams are reinforced with heavy brown stitching, with tasteful leatherette stitched sides. The cases for the Viking and H-series hollow-body models, feature a rigid, arched top and form-fitting design.
