Abstract
An apparatus for covering a musical instrument such as a guitar. The system comprises a back section and a front section with each of the back and front sections being affixed along a lateral edge to a side section. The cover is formed with an interior area into which the musical instrument is inserted. The musical instrument is protected from damage in the event the instrument is mishandled, dropped or knocked into another object. Cut-outs in the sections provide access to the components of the instrument for a musician to access such components while playing the instrument with the cover system in place.
