Aftermarket Hard Shell Cases

[Don]

Question for the hive mind. As Guild is shipping S-100s in gig bags and no longer offers HSCs for them can anyone suggest an aftermarket case? Thanks in advance!

I had my '70s one in one of those Gibson-style body outline shaped generic Strat cases. It wasn't a terrific case, nor was it a "pretty" fit, but it happened to hit a couple points dead on inside, such that it was tight w/o flopping around. I wouldn't pay the $50-60 it'd probably take to buy a new one, but worth a $25 snag from a case sale somewhere in the absence of an alternative.

This sort of case:

Depending on where you are, (and if they’ve been affected by COVID), Music-Go-Rounds usually have a decent selection of used cases. If you’re near one, bring it and just see if any fit well (or well enough).

I thought I had mine in an SG case but I could be wrong - I sold mine a year or so ago. The case could have been a generic.
Speaking of S100s did you see this:

Battle of the Guild S-100 Reissues | GAD's Ramblings

Up for comparison is a 1997 Guild S-100 reissue made in Westerly, Rhode Island and a 2015 Guild Newark Street S-100 made in Korea. Since the Guild from the 1990s is a reissue of the Guild S-100 from the 1970s and the Newark Street model is a reissue of the Westerly reissue more than it …

Here's a vintage one from (I think) our own LTGer DRC:

It would appear someone got it already. But thank you very much! I will keep looking. Plenty of options if I go with a rectangular case.
