OK then, these are probably more for those of you who do LOTS of gigging or just need something to protect a guitar in shipping. I won't pretend that any of these are in great shape as they all have obvious issues exteriorly. (New word there I think.)

Anyway, they all close tight and the interiors are all in very good shape, although one needs some vacuuming. They all hold mid- to deep-bowls.

I will add exact shipping once I get your address. And be aware that I see no real need to box these things up: They'll be latched up, taped shut, and shipped out.

So if you need a rugged functional case that you don't mind trusting to minimum-wage roadies, here ya go!

I've posted a few pics on this thread, but here's a link to many more so you can take a close look.

CASES

Number 1:
I received and old busted 1537 in this one. I've never actually seen a dread case with a bowl form built in before. I actually wish I knew the brand, as it's structurally a better case than Ovation's molded plastic ones. The outside looks awful, but the inside is just fine. $50 + shipping.





Number 2:

Next up is a brown case that's in pretty good overall shape. The top is no longer restrained so it opens flat. And there's some rust on the hinges and latches. Otherwise it's fine. $75 + shipping.





Number 3:

The well-worn member of the club. No handle, some cracks/splits, broken latch. Still closes tight and the interior's in above average shape. $40 + shipping





And finally...

Number 4:

This one fell afoul of the tender mercies of the USPS. The outside is obviously very torn up, but the inside is perfect other than needing to be vacuumed. All latches and hinges work fine and it closes tightly. And yes, pity the guitar that was traveling inside. $45 + shipping

I think any of them should fit a celeb mid-bowl. I don't have a mid-bowl handy to be positive though as my only one is at the factory getting some work done. However, I do know that I bought a 9158 case for it, and all of my others, and it fits both mid- and deep- just fine, so these should as well.

I'll get you an estimate tomorrow after I get to my office (where I keep them). Watch your PM's and thanks.
