What started as the expression of individuality led to the demand of a product that has become recognized worldwide. Here is a brief story of the evolution of Jonny Coffin and his Coffin Case Company. Jonny Coffin is a guitar player, writer, surfer, designer, and inventor. While playing and touring with his band many years ago, he visualized a concept for an unusual shaped case that would incorporate his style, while maintaining functionality and durability. He conceived of a case possessing a shape that not only fit the outline of the guitar, but also fit a deeper, darker image. He sat down and began to sketch out a few concepts, and soon, he concluded that the Coffin shape provided the outline and the image he desired. Jonny then set out building the first "concept coffin case" with his woodworking experience limited only to carpentry skills he had learned to support his music and surfing careers in his late teens. He admits that the first few cases were far from his vision. He continued to refine his craft and created a case that was as much a work of art as the guitar he placed inside of it. And so, comes now, the birth of the first handmade Coffin Case. Jonny received so much attention from his case that he recognized an opportunity to create a lucrative business for himself.
