The dimensions of the OLF small jumbo are not that far off of the OM. Will an OM case fit the small jumbo?

I just tried it in a Huss and Dalton case and it does work, but not great I would not do that for a customer because it was a little too tight.

Tony do you mean the 9105 case is slightly too big for the SJ? I am going to build the SJ next and am also looking for a decent case

I dont know Matti .. I have no idea what the actual measure on the OLF SJ is .. just look at the sizes on the cases, get whatever fits best.

I have a tight fitting OM case and my OLF SJ would not fit inside. I ended up purchasing a TKL 9116, which was a little on the big side but was the best fitting case I could find without spending huge bucks. I'm not sure I would use this case if the guitar was going to be a road axe. The guitar was for my Dad so the case is simply used for storage and an occasional trip in the car. Works perfect for that.
