I only looked at one, the mahogany guitar case, and it was $800 bucks! To me, that seems very expensive. IKEA used to sell all glass display cases for about $125, which up until now I thought was pretty pricey, but I guess I was wrong about that.

I had them make me a custom sized display case for my Thunderbirds, they were very nice to deal with. It took awhile as they do make everything and mine was not a stock size, I got to choose materials etc.
Yes, it was expensive but my basses are an important part of my life, so it was well worth it for me

Currently my fenderbird is in it.

Yup $800 a bit too much. There's plenty in the $150-200 range though. Guess it all depends on your specs.
