Let's see your GUITAR!

the reflection of the bedroom light fixture bothered me, so i took one with daylight + bedside reading lamp.

the case arrived Saturday afternoon. it's a nice case for a $130 eBay dealie. i wouldn't call it great, but IMO it's better than GFS or Rondo cases. the fit and finish are pretty good, and the lining appropriately fluffy. the stitching is a bit inconsistent, which keeps it from Really Good Case status. it has this odd fleece-covered block on the inside of the top down toward the endpin which i assume is there to keep the guitar from flapping around. mission accomplished, i guess. i have to push the top down slightly to get the lid to latch. you can already see the impression of the harp tailpiece on the block from being in the case for a few hours. i'm not worried about it because most of what could be affected is solid maple and it's not exerting much force. i will have to keep an eye on the tailpiece, though. it also came with two odd little cushions approximately 14" x 3" made of the same fleece as the lining, doubled over a thin foam core. i'm really not sure what they're good for, so i may use them as fillers in the guitar case/stand.

nowadays i try to get cases that are close to or harmonize with the guitars' finishes. this is one of four different shades of blue on eBay by the same maker, Crossrock. they have a wide variety of cases for different sizes and shapes of electric and acoustic guitars. check them out if you need an affordable case that doesn't suck. the eBay listing said it shipped from China, but if it did it got to Southern Californi-yay exceedingly quickly. no tariffs.
