Reunion Blues Raises The Bar With New RB Continental Voyager Series Guitar Cases

When we “launched” the RB Continental back in 2008 (literally, from the top of a three story building) we had no idea that we’d be the vanguard of a new era in protective cases that would transform the expectations of professional and hobbyist musicians all over the world. With the RB Continental Voyager series, we’re excited to up the ante once again.

We’ve refined and revised our shock absorbing and impact-resistant Flexoskeleton™ with an efficient internal structure that maintains our high standard of protection while reducing weight and bulk dramatically. We’ve further articulated our custom-milled exterior fabric with a durable, modern, and water resistant Black Heather texture that wears well and looks great. We’ve also redesigned the interior bracing system with an adjustable neck block and the addition of user-configurable protector pads at the endpin.

All the great ergonomic features of the original RB Continental are evident and even improved in the new Voyager series. Our Zero-G™ handle still feels as weightless as ever, but we’ve added an edge seam to improve longevity and durability. Our adjustable, hideaway backpack is even more comfortable than ever.

Most importantly, we’ve consistently maintained our high standards for quality craftsmanship that we established back in the 1970’s when we created the first professionally accepted gig bag. We use industrial-grade high-tensile thread, reversed water-resistant zippers, abrasion and scuff resistant corded edges and seam, EVA backed material, and internally reinforced structure in those high stress areas. Best of all, we back this up with the peace of mind that comes from an industry leading limited lifetime warranty.

Often imitated, but never equaled, the RB Continental Voyager guitar case will protect your axe in style for years to come.
