My daughter is going to be starting guitar lessons in the summer, so I've been shopping around for guitars and guitar cases for her. I'm trying to decide between a soft or hard case. My ex had a very nice soft case that he loved for his guitar, but I'm thinking for an 8 year old child, a hard case would be a better choice. Kids are rough on things, so a nice hard case to protect the guitar would be good. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to this, and have never owned an instrument. So I'll take any suggestions..lol!
