I'm nearly ready to close the box on my second build,which is an OLF MJ and would like to store it in an affordable case. Would this one fit? https://www.amazon.com/TKL-8520-Molded- ... al_qh_dp_t |

I have had good luck with TKL and use their web site to size my cases. Here are the dimensions for the one you have picked - you need to compare that to your guitar http://www.tkl.com/site_item_details.ph ... uitar+Case If you are uncertain, call TKL, they have been very helpful in sizing cases. One word of warning, most on line dealers will take a case in return if it doesn't fit, as long as you have the original box and packing and don't deface the box. However it can be pretty expensive - I recently returned a case that cost the dealer $25 to ship to me, it was more that twice that to return it (and a couple of shippers quoted over a hundred). |

Might also check Hiscox. |

I went ahead and bought the case. Seeing the box gave my wife quite a start but I assured her that I had not bought a guitar. As for the fit, I was surprised that it was shallower than the dreadnought case I've been using for my first build but I think it should be fine. My second build is slightly shallower than my first. As for width, it's got a little play but that's fine by me. |
