Guitarists: How much did you pay for your instrument? If it was less than $825, then look away now, because this gorgeous leather case costs more than your guitar.

The case is called the Arizona Arena and comes from the Whipping Post Leather company, a name which neatly evokes the brutal flaying required to skin a dead cow. And unlike its bovine donor (or even your guitar), the case looks like it would last forever, sewn with "marine grade threading" and equipped with stainless steel buckles and loops. It does in fact come with a lifetime warranty.

Inside there is one-inch thick foam padding and outside you get pockets for stowing a pint of bourbon and anything else the modern guitarist might need. There is also a strap which does double-duty as a shoulder-strap or backpack-strap.

The picture above shows the Arizona Arena, and you can also go for the darker Georgia Brown or the pale tan Mojave Sand for the same high, high price.
