Hi folks,

I know someone who is in the market for a case for his 1537. Though he did not say so specifically, I think he would prefer one that looks original, ie brown. Remember that the 1537 has the Walnut volume and tone knobs which necessitate retro-fitting a more modern deep bowl case's foam via a ball-peen hammer.

Anyway, if anyone can help, let me know. Pics and a price would shortcut the process.

Thanks in advance. :cool:

SKB made a case for medium to deep bowls. I have one for my 1511. Yes I had to use a ball peen hammer for the volume control. Guitar is very well protected. I paid 95$ for it but I got a discount. Don't quote me but I think they go for $150 plus or minus. This case was made for Ovation and has their logo on the outside of the case.

Hi Larry,

Where's the best place to track one down?

It might be a long shot but I just tried my local Ovation dealer and he had one he was willing to give me a deal on (95$).

Thanks LC,

I just keep passing these on to my friend. I'm sure he will track one down somehow. He plans on calling Kim Keller tomorrow for advice.
