Hi Ethan, I just tried a guitar with Pegheds and an 18 degree headstock angle in a Visenut case and there was about a finger’s width of free space between the peg and the case. Maybe the head angle is greater on your guitar? Also, the Pegheds on this guitar are the older, narrower style, so maybe they are a touch shorter? The case is one of the high end models, too, not the “economy” model, so not sure if that makes a difference or not. The Visenut cases are great for travel. If the the slipcover is used, they look like a gig bag and most airlines won’t ask you to check a gig bag into baggage and will allow it as carry on. But if it has to be checked, or if trains and buses are involved that require stowage, they sure are strong and do give peace of mind. Best,

That's a heck of a client! On the cases, would you say that something like the classical Hiscox case offers less protection against neck whiplash than the Visesnut? I've seen demonstrations of both cases where five to six grown men stand on them, so I think as far as crush force goes, they're both quite good. But I've seen a video of Richard Bruné put an old peghead Conde from the 30s in a Visesnut and then toss the case, with the guitar remaining in tune upon retrieval. Do you think the Hiscox classical case can handle something like that? Unfortunately, only one of that client's guitars is from me. About the cases: I have no idea, sorry. I always treat guitars in cases as if they are fragile. When I ship them, I use a special guitar box, with a lot of packing between the case and the box, usually rolled up corrugated cardboard from torn up other boxes.
