G&L Tribute Comanche: Hard Shell Case Options?

[FenderGuy53]

I just picked up a 2009 Tribute Comanche that came shipped with a G&L Gig Bag.


I test fitted it in one of my Gator GC-Elec-A Hard Shell Cases (I use this case for all my Tele-style guitars), but the tip of the headstock is right up against the front of the case, and the strap buttons are pushing hard into the body compartment walls.


Apart from the G&L cases, what other hard shell cases are you guys using for your Strat-style G&L guitars. I prefer the extruded vinyl or ABS cases over the covered wood cases.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

I had a gator case that had the same problem. I ended up carefully cutting and folding over the lining (only in the areas where there was a tight fit),Trimmed a bit of the styrofoam in the problem areas, and then reglued the lining.

I already had the case and I figured that cases are cheap enough it wouldn't be worth it to sell it so I didn't mind modding it to fit the guitar.

Try to look for a plastic case that doesn't have the body shape molded into the foam. One that is just a big, rectangular cavity.

Too much work for ME. I need a buy-it-and-try-it solution!
