I disagree man....actually hardcase is easier to carry around...I'm a public transport user...Last time I used to carry my guitar using softcase....then get knocked here and there in the bus....when I take out the guitar.....lost all the tuning setting....sometimes the gig bag gets wet during the rainy days and make the precious axe inside wet as well.....
so now I moved to hardcases....my guitar is always in a ready to play condition everytime I take it out from the case....I don't have to worry that the guitar gets harm everytime it get knocked around in the bus....
