OM 260 Case Question

[danielcrdoza]

Hi guys

I was looking around and couldn't seem to find any information on the proper case for the new OM 260 CE line, they don't have a hard shell option on their site, and their Orchestra size polyfoam case says it's made for the 100 series solid guitars, I'm wondering if this would still fit the archtops? Thanks for the help guys

Welcome to LTG. According to the specs the size of the OM-260CE guitar is as follows:

Upper Bout Width	11 1/4" (286mm)
Lower Bout Width	15 1/4" (387mm)
Body Depth Upper Bout	3 1/2" (89mm)
Body Depth Lower Bout	4" (101mm)
Body Length	19 1/2" (495mm)
Overall Length	41" (1041mm)

The Guild specs say: "Case Sold Separately" however the problem is that they seem to have no such Orchestra/OM size hardshell cases! Strange.
But since you have the exact sizes from the specs you could shop for a fitting case.

On the Polyfoam cases Guild shows it fits the OM-120, OM-140, OM-140CE, OM-150.
So check what a OM-150 size is and you will see they are the same size. So that Polyfoam case should fit. You could always send an e-mail to Guild and ask them!
