Conscious of a small carbon footprint, Warwick gets it’s wood form sustainable sources and provides it’s shops energy with it’s own natural gas-powered plant.
Our offset base case mimics the shape of your instrument. The hard shell flight case consists of multiple layers of fiberglass and soft urethane foam padding that is cut to perfectly contour to your instrument resulting in a "glove-like fit. The interior fully supports your instrument and is wrapped in our premium plush velvet. The padded pick box and neck guide help to firmly secure your instrument in place as well as suspending the headstock in the case, keeping it and any tuning pegs from coming into contact with the lid or side walls. These features, along with low density foam wedge pads that secure the neck and body when the lid is closed, result in a level of protection that has been unmatched since 1969.
“Phenomenal cases. Best I have ever seen! Completely customized exactly the way I wanted it.”

“I just finished backing over my Martin guitar with my van like a moron. Thank goodness it was safely tucked into its Calton case. Case needs hinge repaired, guitar is still perfect.”
Roy Rchneider

“Calton Cases are handmade in downtown Austin, Texas by a group of dedicated professionals who are committed to providing an excellent product to their customers, and to being a contributing part of the Austin community. They are making incredible cases that will protect your investments in prized musical instruments, and they are super friendly. I had a great visit to their shop when I purchased my case for my Gibson ES335, which is amazing. I strongly recommend protecting your investment with one of these terrific cases.”
Rob Turk
“I just flew today with my guitar. It was reassuring to know I had my precious instrument secure in the strongest possible case on the market. I own several other brands of cases but it was a no brainer on which case to fly with. Calton all the way.”
Rufus Thames
“I have two Caltons for two of my lifetime guitars. They are both very secure and perfect fitting, super durable, and I couldn’t be happier… Can’t recommend them enough. The peace of mind I have with them is totally worth it.”
Ben Frantz
“I was one of the people that thought Calton Cases were too expensive, that is until I bought a guitar that required a special made case. After looking through my options, I decided to take the dive. After getting the case and witnessing the craftsmanship firsthand, I was a fan. I now own two cases and have experienced one very rough handling on a flight. The airline managed to gouge and scrape the case and obviously dropped it in the process. The case cleaned up well and my irreplaceable guitar was left unharmed. Thank you, Calton for your dedication to keeping our instruments safe.”
Michael Weaver
“I get more comments these days on my cases than the guitars that are in them! They bring me great enjoyment to me and I feel fortunate to have a connection with such a great company. I highly recommend them and have fun picking out your case!”

Does Calton Make A Case To Fit My ‘Super-Special, One-Of-A-Kind Instrument?
Truthfully, the answer is "sometimes." We try to meet the needs of every musician so if we have not made one for an instrument like yours before, then we will likely need a measurement form filled out along with a tracing to give you an answer.
We want everyone to have the case that best protects their instrument which is why we only design for instruments we know we have the means to comprehensively protect to the degree we’re known for.
How Are Calton Cases Made?
Utilizing hundreds of templates and a vast selection of molds, we tailor each of our carbon fiber cases to the exact specifications of your instrument. For instruments we haven’t previously encountered, we’ll ask you to provide measurements and custom fit our products to your unique instrument. For over 50 years, we’ve earned a reputation for perfection unmatched in the industry. Without giving away too many secrets, here is how Calton Cases are made:
- The case is cleaned inside and out.
- The exterior, hand-laid fiberglass shell is built as durable tops, bottoms, and side walls of each case.
- The fiberglass shell is trimmed to a specific depth.
- Latches, bumpers, protective feet, and a handle are added.
- The interior is built from flexible foam and velvet using templates
- At 5 stages of quality control inspection points, every square inch of your case is looked over to ensure your product meets our standards.
- We add your label with a new serial number and ship it to you.
