Heavy Duty Case For JF30-12 / JF65-12 / F512-12?

Can anyone recommend a heavy duty case for my three Guild jumbo 12-String acoustics?

I am beyond fed up with the flimsy handles breaking off these things!

I don't think they make a case that holds 3 guitars.

Seriously, TKL makes decent cases. Just make sure they can accommodate the longer headstock.

If the cases are otherwise good...a luggage repair shop can install heavy duty handles, no problem.

Yup.
I had a very hard time trying to find a case that fit my Artist Award.
I ecentually wrote an email to TKL, and they said they made a case that fits the AA that will also fit the Guild 12-string jumbos and several boutique guitar brands, such as the Benedetto. I found one on Amazon.
The guitar fits the case very well, but I can't remember the case's model number.

Basically, the case fits a 17" body with a slightly longer (1/2") overall length than other 17" cases. The extra length is in the neck of the case.

Darn near bulletproof, very lightweight, and already has "D" rings installed to hook a strap to. I've made many international trips with a nice acoustic in its PRO II case and never had any damage to the case or guitar whatsoever.

All of my acoustics live in dread-size Hiscox PRO II cases, including my '71 Guild F-312NT and DV-72NT HG.

I ordered another PRO II last week direct from the factory in Manchester, UK. It cost $289 delivered to my San Francisco Bay Area home in three days via DHL. Not even a scratch on the well-packed box.

My Hiscox PRO II case w/strap at London's Victoria Station heading for a gig in Sanderstead. Inside was my Collings D2HA. No worries!

I'll add a +1 for a Hiscox case if it's in your budget. The Lowden that I bought recently came with one, and while I'm not usually a fan of thermoplastic type cases, these are light years ahead of the others I've seen, like the old Martin and Ovation cases.
