Members Brian Krashpad Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 OK, it's no new guitar day, but now at least I gots me a case for my Epi WildKat, Goldie. Forumite Mike Fiasco sold me a beater Yamaha case he had but wasn't using, for a very reasonable price. So I paid about half what a new Epi case would run, and we both get karma points on the whole reuse/recycle tip. Anyhow, more as a means of quick identification than anything else, I always slap a batch of stickers on my cases, because if you're playing with 2 or 3 other bands and each band brings 4 or 5 guitars, well, that's a lot of guitar cases, usually stacked all together in some small dark space. So I went rummaging through what few stickers I had, printed out a couple home-made ones (if you put a piece of clear packing tape over a printed-out design on a piece of paper it looks pretty much like a vinyl sticker, and is fairly waterproof), and slapped 'em all over the case. Between the beater condition and the stickers, she blends right in with all my other cases (better for peace and domestic tranquility out at Casa Krashpad). Here's the top of the case: Here's the back: Here's Goldie in her new home! The WildKat is a funky size, bigger than a Les Paul but smaller than standard semi/hollows. So the case is a smidgen big, especially along the north-south axis (i.e., lengthwise), but I'll throw a towel or t-shirt in to minimize guitar movement. Here's a comparison of the big (standard semi/hollow Yamaha) case with my Gibson Les Paul case: An actual Epi WildKat case would be right between those two in size. While I had the camera out I took some pics of my Les Paul Classic, I'll post those here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted September 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 Haha, thanks Johnny. I forgot to mention an added bonus, Mike had forgotten the latch was a locking one because he had never had a key, so I was expecting one with no lock. As it turns out, one of the keys I already had fits that lock. I have 3 different case keys and I swear between them they open 90% of all guitar cases.

Members Cletus Spuckle Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 Happy new guitar case. I started to crap when you mentioned the "extra bonus". I was wondering if I left that hundred dollar bill in the case like I usually do. I'm glad it worked out. And........ that Wildkat looks so cool.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted September 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks guys, especially Skate! Here's the shots I took of my LP (I put a Duncan Custom 5 in the bridge and didn't have pics showing that) while I was taking the case pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
