ABSTRACT:
A guitar case has a casing frame including a plurality of inflatable bladders for defining a compartment for receiving a guitar and for resiliently supporting the guitar placed in the compartment. The bladders when inflated or expanded substantially surround and grip the guitar in the compartment. The bladders are releasably connected to one another along their peripheries, by a zipper or by VELCRO.TM. type loop and hook fasteners. The two halves of the inflatable guitar case may be completely separable. In that case, at least one of the bladders is provided with a shelf for supporting the guitar and with a stand element for supporting the bladder and the guitar in an upright orientation. The guitar case may be a stand-alone case and in that event is provided with a handle or hand grip for facilitating manual transport of the case and the guitar therein. Alternatively, the above-described guitar case may function as a liner to be inserted in a conventional guitar case with rigid or semirigid panels. In that event, the bladder or bladders have an outer surface which substantially conforms to an inner surface of the conventional guitar case.
