Proper case for my new 1959 M-20

[brazil66]

I recently acquired a 1959 Casper label Hoboken M-20. No case. In very good player condition.Thinking , I'd like one of the newer
M-20 case (Guild logo) as good local travel and in the house protection. Vintage in the case is a non-issue. Specifically : would it be a good fit for the newer M-20 current model case to fit an older '59 ? Body size is the same, do you know ? Any other , not too expensive ... solutions to this need ? Kinda like the Guild logo on the case though. Thank you Gentlemen, in advance.

Pictures help us think.

I think the M-20 is just slightly bigger than my bride's '51 Martin O-15.

I found a decent case for the O-15 at Elderly: "TKL Premier Series "Parlor" Guitar Case, Flat Top. SKU: GCEV-PARLOR".

That case is sold out but there are other options:

I'm thinking (guessing) the Oxnard case will be very close if not perfect, so I'd contact them with dimensions.

Hoping to hear the new Guild M-20 "Concert" case will fit the '59. Price is right and has the Guild logo...and is easy to get online....if it fits.

The Slope 12 offers a distinctive difference for the discerning player—sloping shoulders that gracefully curve away from the neck in marked contrast to conventional straight-shoulder dreadnought design.
