Abstract
A guitar clamp is disclosed that can be used to secure the neck portion of a guitar within a guitar case. The guitar clamp includes a base component that has a guitar neck support surface; a left side that is contiguous with the support surface; and a right side that includes a first wall, which protrudes outward from the support surface. The guitar clamp further includes a top component that has a clamp surface that is configured to rest adjacent to a set of strings of the guitar neck; a right side that is contiguous with the clamp surface; and a left side that includes a second wall, which protrudes outward from the clamp surface. The base component is configured to be combined with the top component, such that the base component and top component securely surround a portion of the guitar neck. Guitar cases that include such guitar clamps are also disclosed.
