Old cases can be pretty cool - any chance it would be worth rebuilding? Some of them have better "bones" than what you find today. |

HI clay . the luthier that built this gtr in 1973 had a cardboard case fiberglassed , and then lined with a red soft material , which has eroded an fallen apart, the gtr barely fits the case and some kind of residue from the cloth/glue has tainted the finish on the gtr.in a negative way. The finish is some kind of cabinetmakers varnish prevalent in the early 70/s in van. bc . My guess is varathane oil varnish. Rebulding it is not an option, due to the poor fit. a new well fitting solid case is preferable. |

I suggest a rigid gigbag - ala Taylor's gigbags. Lightweight and yet protective. |

This case might be worth looking into: https://www.zzounds.com/item--TAY86118 |
