Have 2 guitars. Son will want a 3rd. He will get one of the cases for his guitar. I'd like a nice one for my BlueRidge.

Keep in mind I paid $399 for the guitar. So I dont want to drop a ton on a case.

Just a quality case service. Like a gun case?

Saw a fender case that was tweed and made for a jumbo dreadnought with a archtop. It looks nice and $70 for the thing.


Thanks in advance.

Again, this is an acoustic dreadnought guitar.

That tweed case sounds pretty nice. Also SKB makes pretty good stuff. You can get one new for around a hun. LINK

Just where ever you get it from, take your guitar with you to make sure it fits. You want it snug but not tight.

I'm fairly certain they make some of the factory hard cases for companies like Ovation (but don't quote me). I can't recommend SKB more highly.

They are almost Pelican-like in durability.

For a vintage look, Fender tweed cases are definitely nice.

I want to say that they make cases for Taylor but I could be wrong about that. I have a couple of SKB cases and an SKB pedal board and I've been happy with all of it.

Thanks for the input.

Just trying to do right by my guitar.

It has to endure my sorry arse playing it, when it can sound so much better with a competent person.

It's kind of silly though. I treat this thing like its a vintage D-28.

Not silly at all. Every guitar deserves a good case.

I will cast another vote for SKB case, I have a couple. I always thought the Fender cases were too heavy.
