Parlor Guitar Cases

[Chicken Monkey]

I think I found my parlor guitar. It's an amazing-sounding and loud Fender Parlor at a local (not GC) store, for less than GC is asking. It comes with a gig bag, though, and that's not going to cut it. We pack the truck pretty tight. It doesn't look like MF carries a parlor guitar case, and the music store doesn't have one. The "concert grand" and classical case had a good inch of wiggle room on all sides, which I was uncomfortable with. Plus, the tiny little guitar case turns me on. Any suggestions?

Wonder if that Fender is the same one I bought my son (actually bought it for myself, but ended up giving it to him). If so, that is one dynamite little instrument. I bought it on a lark after picking it up at a local store and falling in love with it - paid $139. The finish is a little thick, but a cool instrument nonetheless.

On the case, I'd measure the body dimensions. I think they're close to a Martin 00 (which you can get at the Martin site). If so, you can look for a Martin 00 case on eBay.

That's a better price than I've seen anywhere for this particular guitar--is it the one with the single "F" inlay at the 12th fret?

Go to the Elderly Instruments website...they have a lot of good cases, in all sizes.

I purchased a nice (TDL, I think) hard shell case for my 2002 larrivee parlour from FQMS when I bought the guitar from them. fits like a glove.

Those Fender parlor guitars sound great. I almost bought one on impulse last year.

Yeah, that's that's the one (kind of classy looking). The store where I bought it carries Fender electrics, but normally doesn't sell their acoustics, though I've seen a few there. I think maybe they buy them to fulfill their contract with Fender (?). In any event, this one had a big tag marked "blowout". I picked it up and thought, "what a cool little instrument". My son and I agree it sounds better than my Baby Taylor. I still sneak up to my son's room to play it sometimes.
