Members athomas Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hey I am looking for a good strong case to protect my Acoustic. I am going to be travelling internationally to couple of places this year. I have flown domestic with my regular case and never had a problem.

Members tim Mcknight Posted June 27, 2007 Members Share Posted June 27, 2007 Guardian Fibergalss case about 1/3 the cost of a Calton. Not quite the quality but a darn good alternative for the money. They are only available in dred sizes shells though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted June 27, 2007 Members Share Posted June 27, 2007 Ameritage cases are very strong, but they're not fiberglass like Calton. OTOH, they run a couple hundred less than a Calton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EastCoastPlayah Posted June 28, 2007 Members Share Posted June 28, 2007 Wow - I didn't realize Calton were even more expensive than Ameritage...the ameritage dread sells for approx $424 on the website....I'll stick with my molded SKB's, but I would like to own a guitar that needs a $500 case!

The two I ordered (for my Guild JF-4 and my Taylor 355) will come to about $750 each (counting S/H)! My wallet is still moaning in agony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members athomas Posted July 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2007 okk.. my hunt for a case comparable to calton is not going too well. I bought a case-extreme case for $230+shipping and it is bulky (which i expected) but I don't feel it is strong enough to last more than two years with all the travelling I am going to be doing. The guy claims it will last 15yrs with no problems. It is a good case, but not what I am looking for, so I am returning it. I got to pay the return shipping and the restocking fee. I am going to use a gig bag for my 1week trip to west indies and hopefully I get paid enough to buy a calton. 675$ I can buy another guitar for that price!!!!

Members Greymuzzle Posted July 6, 2007 Members Share Posted July 6, 2007 Do you have access to Hiscox Lite lfite cases on your side of the pond? Not 5hat expensive and a hell of an improvement on a gig bag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted July 6, 2007 Members Share Posted July 6, 2007 I would like to own a guitar that needs a $500 case! Me too! I just need two things to happen: 1) I win the lottery; 2) I find someone with a Martin D-45SS (Stephen Stills) who's willing to part with it; only 91 made, original list $17K.
