Re: The Saga Continues
Just checked your ebay link, I'm betting that is the CL guitar I was looking at in FL. He sent me the email yesterday morning but I didn't get it until tonight. He said he'd installed a Fishman rare earth PU and the ebay guitar is/was in FL...I'll probably be getting an email soon telling me he's sold it. joan

Re: The Saga Continues
Small world, eh? I'm wondering. Did he tell you that there were two latches broken on the case? Those cases really do look like junk.
Hey John, did you find out the name of that company in Vancouver that makes custom cases? I feel a group buy coming on here!

Re: The Saga Continues
Might have been a great score, if either of us had actually gotten it! Really it was probably too good (and inexpensive) to be true. Hopefully the seller pulled the auction so Joan could get it. She saw it first.

Sorry if you've already been down this route, but did you try TKL directly?

Close, but that one looks to be too small.

Hmmmmm, you're right it's a smidge on the tight side. I'd be tempted to try one though just in 'case' (sorry) it may be that the padding and lining may just give a little.
Plus TKL make cases for the American Guilds, but do they also make 'em for GAD's?, I doubt it somehow. So if they don't who does? Someone, somewhere must know, maybe Elderly?

Cheese Joan ... 
:evil: The first bar-coded label says Case Valencia TKL 5246/BL and the other tag indicates TKLA5246/BL (CV-1) .... suggesting your case would fit this eBay F40 (Valencia) CV-1

Asian-made 'Guardian' cases at Elderly. Guardian is one of Karura's (China) product lines .... whether Karura makes GAD cases ...???solenoid lopez said:

Monday morning's report
I just got off the phone with Corey at MusicParts Guru. He's being great. He told me how to return the case to them which I will do this afternoon. We've got two options, if the part # I was first given is incorrect and Corey can get the correct part # then I can get the correct case and 100% of what I've paid will be applied to the new case. If that is not the situation and the part # they have is just wrong, he'll have to return the case to Guild and will have to pass on the 30% restocking on to me. stay tuned...jm
also
•no word from the CL seller so I'm assuming he put the F20 on ebay and someone else bought it.
•I talked with Oasis, they found my master CD which had been separated from the envelope. It was inbetween cardboard and had my business card taped on the cardboard. Somehow the printed page I had in the envelope with the order # etc was separated from the CD. I could have asked why they didn't just call me when they didn't have the paperwork since my # and email were on the card but no sense in going there. It will take 5 days to print the jacket and they'll upgrade the shipping at no charge to me so I'll get it sometime next week.
the sun is out, we've got a blue Carolina sky and I'm heading out to enjoy the day. joan

Re: Monday morning's report
Joan, I certainly hope that you don't have to pay a 30% restocking fee; that would suck! I did a little research of my own, and talked to a nice fellow named Dennis at Cedar Creek Cases. He said that they can build a custom case to our specs (one of their 500 series) for $299, which I know is kind of expensive, but I think I might go for it. It would be an exact fit, and much better quality than the GAD case in my estimation. He said if we could get a few of them together he'd knock 10% off the price (still expensive, I know). Any interest amongst the F/M owners here?
That's too bad. I figured that when he ended the auction, he sold it to you. The auction was ended by him as far as I can tell, and the guitar wasn't listed on Craigslist to the best of my knowledge. I use a national CL search engine, and it doesn't turn up there. Maybe the original CL buyer ended up taking it after all.

Re: Monday morning's report
Thank you for doing the leg-work Two, but that price is just hideous !! Pass from me.
Nice cases though ......... I went there a couple of days ago on an F20 mission.

Re: Monday morning's report
I don't know. The way I look at it is that I plan on owning this guitar for a long time. If you take that $300 and spread it over twenty years or so, it's not that bad I guess.
Agreed. I think the Vancouver company that John was talking about that makes customs at reasonable prices was Datt cases. Sadly, they no longer seem to be in business.

Might be some possibilities there. Come to think of it, Joan's probably already done this!
