The objective is to not to give away information that you’re going to the range (it’s a California thing).
As far as theft is concerned, it’s no help since guitars can be easily pawned so it’s not meant to keep away thieves. I don’t leave firearms in my car.
I have looked at multiple rifle/gun cases that are guitar shaped. I think it is a great idea. Problem is, they are stupid expensive. Converting an actual guitar case a bad move…they are likely not sturdy enough.
The original link didn’t offer much info I had to go to guitar center to get specs.

The easiest way to get away from rifle looking case is just to buy regular rectangle / squared rifle case and put either sticker or velcro patch with keyboard on it.
Have a couple Roadrunner cases for guitars and I think they’d be sturdy enough for an AR15. It’s a square case and with some slight modifications may work pretty well.
I lived in Ca. Most of my life and as a firearms lover I found that the perfect case for my AR15 pistol is a tennis racket case that is a perfect fit! It’s also great for my CMMG PCC!
When I go to the range, I pull my tennis racket and my range bag out of my trunk. I’ve had the blue and white racket case for years now and except for at the range, no one is the wiser.
Now that I’m retired in Utah, I don’t have to worry about Red Flag laws, magazine volume b.s. or any of Commiefornia’s un Constitutional 2nd Amendment laws.
My son packs his AR in a guitar case he bought online. It’s a hard shell case, and for the price he paid for it, it’s very sturdy. It’s a Chinese knock-off of what used to be an American made brand. He bought foam cubes to secure the firearm in place.
WhooEEE! I GUAR ON TEE that if you show up at the range with one of those, the NRO (Nazi Range Officers) are going to come down on you hard. But you’d be welcome at Taran Tactical.
