Open & Shut Case

Post by Crafty Fox » Mon May 11, 2015 2:25 pm

I know there are a few members who built an OM sized acoustic using the Jonathon Kinkeade book, so can anyone tell me where I can get a reasonable priced hard case to accommodate my guitar?
Thanks.
Ken

Haven't built an OM but if your just looking for something cheap these look OK.

I'll third the Artist APX case It fit's a wide variety nicely, even a gore shaped Guitar.

Cheers,

I built a Kinkade-style OM a few years ago. I think that Artist APX brand case will fit it well. I bought a very similar one (but different brand) from Guitar Factory, Gladesville and also paid $89, so that seems a reasonable price.
In the past I have also picked up cheap cases at Cash Converters, but they tend to be a bit knocked around so you might be happier with that new one.

The Artist OM guitar case fitted near perfect to my OM guitars. Just received one of their mandolin cases and it is the best fit by far for my flattop mandolins. The flattop mandolins have been a PITA to get cases that fit properly. Service is excellent, free delivery, tracking and prompt shipping. They will be getting more of my business.
