Wish you could have been there to witness this 1/4 million dollar Bentley Continental GT rolling into the Reunion Blues booth last night. – This video was shot at about 4:45 this morning, right after they turned on the house lights. – Good times!

Killswitch Engage is no stranger to travel. They tour the world.
Adam and Joel are two of the hardest working musicians out there on that road… and their break-neck schedule can also be hard on their gear. Maybe that’s why they chose to endorse the RB Continental. Then again, maybe it’s because they just look so cool carrying their axes around in these killer cases.
Either way, all of us at Reunion blues are honored and excited to have Killswitch Engage as the newest member of our elite group of Reunion Blues endorsers.
Welcome to the A Team!
At Reunion Blues we are expanding out popular RB Continental line with the introduction of a unique percussion case that combines sleek contemporary design with the ultimate in cymbal protection.
On the outside, a 1″ thick shock-absorbing Flexoskeleton™ exterior is lined with reinforced impact panels, and a knurled abrasion grid on the bottom is included to help resist scuffing. A large EVA-reinforced exterior hi-hat/accessory pocket with padded dividers is also provided, along with an adjustable, hideaway padded backpack.
On the inside, you will find big padded interior dividers to protect individual cymbals, and a plush, quilted “double helix” velvet lining, one of the trade marks of the new RB Continental case line.
A Ballistic Quadraweave™ exterior features corded edges and seams that are double-stitched with high tensile thread and reinforced at tested stress points, topped off with the RB Continental Zero-G palm-contoured handle designed with weight distributing foam core.
Like all Reunion Blues products, this new RB Continental cymbal case comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
This just in from Paul Heumiller, owner of Dream Guitars:
While leaving for a trip to the Paul Reed Smith Guitar Factory, I had a first-hand experience with the new Reunion Blues Continental case that I just have to share.
I never travel without a guitar to play in the hotel and elected to bring along my beloved custom Somogyi Fan Fret. This is a guitar I waited 3 years to receive and it’s valued at approx. $35,000.
I primarily use the Continental cases for their light weight when I am in control of the guitar and not checking it on a plane. In this case, I was traveling by car so into the Continental my prized Somogyi went. On the way to the car I happen to step on a nylon band from around a box of printer paper, you know the really tough stuff. It somehow went on both of my ankles and hobbled me sending me falling face-first to the pavement, tossing my Somogyi into the air. That horrible slow motion sensation came over me as I watched one of my very favorite guitars, which as a very slender and pointed headstock (see picture), fly in the air and land head-first on the pavement like a Javelin. While my hands, and my pride, were throbbing from the fall, my only concern was for my baby. I thought for sure I had just broken the headstock off this amazing instrument. As fast I could move, I opened the case and was absolutely delighted to find everything was perfect! Not a mark on it.
The outer shell off the Continental has structure to it and is semi-rigid. Inside there is a large neck block with a velcro retaining strap. All of this added up to superb protection from one of the worst kinds of drops I can imagine. So needless to say, I’m even more secure in my choice of the Reunion Blues Continental cases as my lightweight but protective choice for all my guitars, even my Somogyi! www.dreamguitars.com
