This topic comes up once in a while so I thought I’d throw a little skin the in the game this time around. If you are looking for one of the best guitar cases available for an OLF SJ or if you are building for a client with the same requirements, an Ameritage case is an obvious option. They have a custom case available that fits the OLF SJ like a glove and is built like a Sherman tank. I have one and it’s an extremely fine guitar case. However, if you are looking for something that is not road warrior class but is still good quality and lighter and less expensive than the Ameritage, the TKL cases are a good option. This has been mentioned before but I recently purchased a TKL case which arrived this morning and the fit was quite good so I thought I’d pass along the details for anyone in the market for an SJ case.
I purchased the case from
http://www.casesandmore.com. It is the TKL Grand Concert case, model number TKL-7805. Although you can slip a finger in between the guitar and the inside face of the case in several spots, the overall fit is quite snug. The lower bout dimension for both the case and my guitar is 15.5” and the guitar actually compresses the interior foam/fur lining at the LB slightly giving a very snug fit. And the price is quite affordable.
I probably would have purchased the TKL-8805 “Prestige” model which is an upgraded model relative to the 7805 but this supplier did not carry the full TKL lineup. Anyone know of any on-line vendor who carries the full TKL line of guitar cases?
Here are the dimensions if anyone wants to check their guitar for compatibility.
My SJ----- TKL-7805UB-------- 11 5/8---- 12 1/4
LB-------- 15 1/2---- 15 1/2
Waist---- 9 7/8---- 10 3/4
Depth---- 4 3/8---- 5 1/4
