Hard Case Help

[briand]

I am making a custom guitar and need to find a hard case (aluminum/plastic) for it. Does anybody know of a company that will make to fit? I heard by way of the monkey vine that you could draw the outline of the guitar and they could make it.

It is longer than an electric but shorter then a bass due to the body being made from a bass body blank for the design.

Or would it be easier to buy a bass hard case and gut it and rebuild it.

Heeeeeelp!!!!!

Re: Hard Case Help

I thought about that to. I bought over $2000.00 in tools just to build the guitar. I don’t have room for anymore tools. I would think the world is advanced enough that I don’t have to make everything my self.


There has got to be a company out there that can do the customizing for me. That way it is done by people that know what there doing and have the tools to do it.

Re: Hard Case Help

actually, to build a case for it, you dont need that many tools. You can use many that you already have, if not all. But, it'd be a simple hardwood case covered with tolex. You could make it have a nice strong plush interior, and make the case out of a wood such as plywood or Bois D' Arc (pronounced Boe-dark, and strong as hell). Good luck on making it out of Bois D' Arc though, since you'd have to literally have a chainsaw to cut against the grain. But with the grain it's like cutting cedar. Very very strange wood.
