I feel the same way. This is why I mention the " Thrashed out " cases. Ironically, I purchased two Fender rectangular cases. One was for a Fender Squier Stratocaster. The other just had raised lettering that said, Fender. The Squier case was a full two inches longer. As mentioned, after buying them on the cheap, I planned on rebuilding the interiors.

Eisenwurst had said, " It's what's in the case that matters." That's true but if you have a good guitar, you want the interior to protect that investment. I have seen talented friends create pine boxes, then split them on a table saw and install good hinges, locks and plush interiors. They are great, albeit, a bit heavy for doing gigs.

I know you think of her very often which is why I mentioned the black dress. A lass I knew once wore one when we went out for New Years eve celebrations one year and she looked absolutely stunning.

All the best to you, my friend.
