Learn how Gruv Gear Kapsule and Kapsulite+ protect standard Les Paul-style single-cut guitars, plus find a comfortable strap for your setup.
Single-Cut Guitar Case Guide: Protect Your Guitar for Gigs and Travel
Single-cut guitars are known for their sustain, powerful sound, and unmistakable visual presence. The classic Les Paul is the most familiar example, but this body style appears in guitars from Heritage, PRS, ESP, Gretsch, Yamaha, and many other builders.
Standard Les Paul-style bodies fit
Standard Les Paul-style guitar bodies fit in Gruv Gear Kapsule Single and Duo, as well as Kapsulite+.
A guitar with a particularly deep headstock angle may not fit properly in Kapsulite+, even when the body shape itself fits. Customers should confirm fitment before purchasing when their guitar has an unusually angled or oversized headstock.
For a structured travel case with front storage and wheels, check out the Kapsule here.
For a lighter, slimmer wheeled option for compatible instruments, check out the Kapsulite+ here.
Add comfort for a heavier guitar
Many single-cut guitars are relatively heavy. The 4-inch SoloStrap Neo helps spread that weight across a wider padded shoulder section. Check out the SoloStrap Neo here.
Players who want more balanced support may prefer DuoStrap Neo. Check out the DuoStrap Neo here.
Frequently asked questions
Will a standard Les Paul-style guitar fit in Kapsule or Kapsulite+?
Yes. Standard Les Paul-style bodies fit in Kapsule Single/Duo and Kapsulite+. Very deep headstock angles should be confirmed before purchasing Kapsulite+.
Why does headstock angle matter?
Different manufacturers use different headstock angles. A particularly deep angle can affect whether the guitar rests properly inside Kapsulite+.
Why use a wider strap with a single-cut guitar?
Many single-cut guitars are heavier than other solid-body designs. A wider padded strap can make longer performances more comfortable.
