- ✔ Tech options keep you productive
- ✔ Tracking and security features for peace of mind
- ✔ Pack your clothes for lighter travel
- ✔ Easy and convenient wheels
Why did we design the Kapsule?
- Soft gig bags, while comfortable, don’t offer enough protection to check in.
- Hard cases are good for checking in, but they’re a pain to lug around, they’re heavy and definitely not designed to be worn comfortably, if at all.
- Both typically have very limited storage, and you almost always have to bring a 2nd roller or duffle bag for your clothes and toiletries.
// Protect Your Axe
Trust your instrument to be well-protected in the Kapsule's tough polycarbonate shell. A thick layer of lightweight expanded polystyrene made of 98% air has excellent shock absorbency and insulation to keep your guitar or bass safe. The front of the Kapsule has a massive storage area of any gig bag for your tour-essential gear.
// Consolidate Your Luggage
You may also use that space to pack your clothes and leave your roller luggage at home. With 17+ liters of cargo space, there's enough room for a 2- to 3-day trip. Add our optional compression packing cubes (available soon) and you can fit nearly double!
// What People Are Saying
// Save Your Back With Wheels
Our snap-on wheels will make longer walks a breeze, and attaches in seconds without any tools.
// Prevent Headstock Damage
The Kapsule's unique Iso Chamber minimizes the risk of headstock damage by keeping it suspended and isolated.
// Lock Down Your Guitar
Your Kapsule comes with an industry-standard TSA lock to secure your instrument. Set your 3-digit code and only authorized airport security will be able to open your bag. Gruv Gear is an authorized Travel Sentry distributor.
// Keep It Charged
Staying productive on the go is easier with your devices charged! Our optional POWER package features our Oktane wireless power bank (10,000mAh) and two Oktane charging cables (one 6-inch and one 4-foot) with your choice of Apple Lightning or Micro USB.
// 1 Year Free Peace Of Mind
Using the anonymous tag number instead of a traditional luggage tag will also help protect your identity while you travel.
// Find Your Kapsule By Voice
Add our voice-controlled Bluetooth Tracker (via Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or Apple's Siri) to your Kapsule for added security! Complete with an iOS or Android app (powered by Chipolo), the tracker will not only help you find your Kapsule, but also lets you see its last location if it's out of range.
// Fight Humidity Damage
We teamed up with Boveda to include two-way humidity control, a must-have for any guitar or bass. Place the humidity packs in the built-in pockets to maintain the optimal level of humidity for your instrument. Your Kapsule will come pre-packaged with a FREE Boveda humidity pack and pouch.
- ▼What is the Kapsule made out of?
- It combines an industry-proven polycarbonate/ABS shell, lightweight EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam lining, and tough high-denier fabrics.
- ▼What sizes does the Kapsule come in?
- We are offering the most common guitar and bass sizes (electric guitar, electric bass, and acoustic guitar), plus our new Kapsule Duo will be able to carry two instruments! Here are the dimensions of each model:
Outer Dimensions:
Electric Guitar: 17”L x 46”H x 8.5”W
Electric Bass: 16.5"L x 49"H X 8.5"W
Acoustic Guitar: 19.5”L x 45.5”H x 11”W

- ▼What's the difference between this and a hard case?
- We're taking the protective hard case shell and combining it with soft padding and materials to make it comfortable to wear, lightweight, and easy to travel with!
- ▼What's the difference between this and one of your soft gig bags?
- The Kapsule will have the best protection level compared to any of our soft gig bags, which are meant for local gigs and light travel (ideally as a carry-on bag). We still incorporated gig bag features into the Kapsule to make it comfortable to wear on your body, or roll it behind you when you choose to use the included Snap-On Wheels.
- ▼How do I reset the TSA lock?
- Watch the video on this page to learn how to set and reset the TSA lock on your Kapsule: https://www.travelsentry.org/setting-instructions
- ▼The PLAY package amp is made by Phil Jones Bass, does it mean it's only for bass?
- While Phil Jones Bass (PJB) focuses on products for bass players, our micro headphone amp based on their "Bighead" product is a high-fidelity amp that has tons of headroom and sonic range that works just as amazing with guitars. Phil Jones is an audiophile engineer who delivers a topnotch amplifier product suitable for all types of genres and instruments.
- ▼Isn't humidity control only for acoustic guitars?
- Contrary to popular belief, all guitars made of wood should be humidified. According to an article by Sweetwater, the safest place to store your guitar to fight humidity changes is in the case. The Kapsule will have a special built-in area for the Boveda humidity packets, and your first two packets are free once you register. Articles on humidity control:

- ▼What happens after the first year of having the Global Recovery Tag active? Can I renew?
- Yes! We have made arrangements with HomingPIN to be able to renew your service after the initial free year, for only $6 per year, less than the cost of two lattes! You may also opt to purchase more HomingPIN tags and decals to protect your gear, laptop, phone and other valuables. More information on this will be available on our website.
- ▼How do I know when my Boveda humidity packs need to be replaced?
- The Boveda packs will crystallize and harden as they get used (usually 3 months) and would need to be replaced. Your Kapsule will come with a Boveda starter pack included!
- ▼I have a 335-style semi-hollow body guitar. Is there a Kapsule for me?
- The 335-style body has a slightly wider and deeper body that standard electric guitars, so it will not fit in a standard Kapsule. With enough demand from customers and distributors, we are definitely open to making a Kapsule for 335 guitars.
- ▼I have a "Flying V" guitar, does it fit in the Kapsule?
- Due to its very unique shape, the flying V won't fit in the standard Kapsule for electric guitar. However, with enough demand from customers and distributors, we are open to making a Kapsule for flying V guitars.
- ▼Will you make a Kapsule for ukuleles, violins, cellos, and mandolins?
- We'd love to! However we have to make sure that a good number of customers and distributors request them so we can justify the development and production costs for these sizes.
- ▼Where is the Kapsule manufactured?
- While Gruv Gear products have been manufactured in several countries including USA, we found that the Kapsule is best produced in Asia where most luggage and travel goods are made. Our factories already have the experience, equipment, and expertise in producing quality products for major companies like Samsonite, American Tourister, Tumi and others.
- ▼How much does the Kapsule weigh?
- Electric Guitar - 12.4 lbs / 5.6 kg
EB - 13.2 lbs / 6 kg
AG - 12.8 lbs / 5.8 kg
