From British Heritage to a New Era: The Story of Hiscox Music Co

For more than forty years, the Hiscox name has been synonymous with British craftsmanship and innovation in instrument protection. What began as a family-run workshop designing and building lightweight, virtually indestructible guitar cases in the UK has grown into a story recognised by players all over the world.

Today, that story enters a new chapter, one that honours the past but looks firmly to the future.

Carrying Forward a British Legacy

Hiscox Cases were born out of a simple but powerful idea: that musicians deserved a case that could truly protect their instruments from the knocks and extremes of the road. Over the decades, that idea shaped an entire industry standard, trusted by some of the most respected builders and players worldwide.

After years of manufacturing in the UK, production has now moved to our long-term partners in Poland, where the same proven designs and tooling continue to evolve under expert hands. The result: the same Hiscox strength, the same design philosophy, built for a new generation of musicians.

Introducing Hiscox Music Co

With this new chapter comes Hiscox Music Co, the official UK home of Hiscox Cases and a hub for British-made music gear. Still led by the Hiscox family, we’re here to make sure our cases remain accessible to makers, players, and dealers across the UK while building something much bigger.

Our goal isn’t just to distribute cases. It’s to champion British makers: guitars, amps, straps, pedals, and accessories all designed and built by people who share the same obsession with quality, innovation, and sound that’s defined us from the start.

Why We’re Building This

Over the past few years, we’ve seen the UK music-making scene grow more creative than ever full of independent builders, craftspeople, and brands producing exceptional gear. Many of them, however, lack a central platform to showcase their work to a wider audience.

Hiscox Music Co is our answer to that. A curated marketplace for musicians who want to buy products with real stories behind them. Every maker we feature is chosen for their commitment to design, durability, and tone values that have always been at the heart of our brand.

The Showroom and What’s Next

Our Midlands base will soon host a dedicated showroom a space where players can come to try gear, meet makers, and see what British craftsmanship really looks like up close. It’ll also be home to our growing range of Hiscox cases, including new Pro2+ models and bespoke logo services for instrument makers.

We’re also developing new content: video features, behind-the-scenes stories, and interviews that celebrate the people who make this industry special. Because this isn’t just about selling gear it’s about building a community around British design and musical excellence.
