Terry,

Actually those cases I'm selling are custom cases I had made for me, but
obviously other guitars will fit. The dimensions of the guitar the case was
made for are:

15 1/8" Lower Bout
11 1/8" Upper Bout
9 1/4" Waist
19 3/8" Body Length
4 1/2" Depth at Lower Bout
25.5 scale length
14 frets to body

Looks like it might make it some areas, and pretty tight in others....

I'm pretty sure this case would work for ya... but I can't say for 100% as I
don't have the guitar in hand... I sold some of these cases a while back and
maybe somebody put an OLF SJ in the case....

How about an Ameritage OLF SJ Case. I have an extra. They are awesome
and they were custom made for us. The were taken right off of Michael
Paynes direct measurements

Terry,
Here are a couple of photos of the Ameritage with my recent OLF SJ build in it. As you can see, it fits nice.
I'm sorry I can't help with the other case.
On John's case you have 1/2 inch of interference on the upper bout and body length. It all depends how much and how easily the side padding gives.
