Wylde Audio Blood Eagle Case

For guitarists, nothing is more important than keeping your instrument safe, especially when traveling and gigging. Your guitar is not just a tool – it’s an extension of yourself, your passion, your art. That’s why you need a case that’s just as dedicated to protecting your axe as you are to playing it.

Enter the Wylde Audio Blood Eagle Case, created by legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde for his own line of custom guitars. As you’d expect from Zakk, this case was designed by a guitarist for guitarists, with all the protective features and conveniences needed for life on the road.

A Fortress for Your Guitar

One look at the Blood Eagle case and you know this thing means business. With its imposing looks and black-on-black color scheme, this is the kind of case grim reapers carry their scythes in.

Constructed from dense, military-grade composite material, the Blood Eagle is essentially a hard shell case wrapped in leather and denim for added style and durability. This rugged exterior can withstand the roughest baggage handlers and the inadvertent van door slam while protecting your guitar or bass from dings, dust and dents.

The plush interior is covered in black velvet, keeping your finish pristine while cushioning against shocks and impacts. Thick padding on the neck cradle and dedicated bridge position prevent any wiggle room that could lead to cracks and warping during transit. You could drop this case down a flight of stairs and your instrument would emerge unscathed.

Built for the Road

The Blood Eagle was designed for the realities of life on tour. The case features a TSA-approved built-in lock to keep prying hands away from your gear. The lock itself is mounted flush with the body for seamless style points.

For storage, two generously sized exterior compartments give you room for cables, picks, strings and other accessories. The lid also has an accessory pouch for smaller items like slides and capos. No more digging around your gig bag to find what you need right before showtime.

At just 15 pounds, the Blood Eagle is a bit heavier than your average hardshell but still easy to carry thanks to the rugged side handle. For longer hauls, a smooth retractable pull handle and wheels let you roll this vault to the studio or stage in comfort.

Protection for All Body Types

While designed around Wylde Audio’s own Warhammer and Odin models, the Blood Eagle case will fit most single cutaway or double cutaway electric guitars. There’s room for those beefy humbucker-loaded shredders along with your slimline Tele or Strat. The snug interior won’t let your guitar slide around while the thick padding prevents any pressure points.

Bassists are also covered, with Blood Eagle models tailored for 4, 5 and 6 string basses. The elongated design allows room for those long 34″ and 35″ scale beasts while keeping them secure. No one wants a headstock snap, so the extra neck padding is much appreciated.

The Verdict

So how does the Wylde Audio Blood Eagle stack up? While expensive at around $300, you simply won’t find this level of bomb-proof protection in most hardshells. This case may be overkill for a casual player but perfect for working musicians putting their livelihood into a case night after night.

The utilitarian look and stealthy color scheme give it a bit more rock-and-roll cred than the average luggage-style case too. You might pay more but you won’t find many better solutions for keeping your guitar safe and looking awesome.

Ready for the Road

If you’re looking for maximum protection on the go, the Blood Eagle lives up to its name. With a design ethos borrowed from military equipment cases, this vault will defend your guitar like it was guarding the Queen’s jewels.

The water-resistant denim and leather exterior can handle the scuffs and scrapes of daily use while the molded composite interior shrugs off blunt force trauma. Generously padded on all sides, your guitar will arrive in pristine condition every time.

Little conveniences like the TSA-approved lock, retractable handle and wheels make transportation effortless, letting you focus on the more important things (like setlists and finding the next gig). Whether hitting the festival circuit or just hustling to weekend club shows, the Blood Eagle has your back.

Your guitar is an investment – don’t leave it to chance in some gig bag. Get the ultimate in protection with the Wylde Audio Blood Eagle case. Your guitar and your peace of mind will thank you.
