Thanks Man! I'll let you know.

Yeah, I started building my own cases. Not only do most industry cases not fit my instruments, I just don't like the quality. I've had a lot of locales request cases, so I 'm planing a universal fit version (in the works). Again, yes. It's a fretless guitar. it's pretty cool and this guy...

This one got finished, I'm putting the finishing touches on it's fretless sister.

It's been a while TB friends, but I have to speak up here. Every time this thread pops up... it just kills me :crying::rage::thumbsdown:. Although sporadically, (dew to work and family) I've kept in contact with Alex, point is... I'm not wiling to give up on Alex. This kind of fiasco just...

@HaMMerHeD I started 2 of those projects about 9 years ago... they still keep me VERY occupied. CONGRATULATIONS!

What's up sissy? Thanks for taking part in this. Well.... I am :thumbsup:. So far... nothing :thumbsdown:, (its been about 4 months). The worry is that this is something that would happen over time, maybe a year or two down the road. If I can be sure it's not a problem now, the cases are done...

Thanks guys! Yeah, I don't typically use nitro... so, (like a lot of road cases) I just cut the foam, drop the instrument in and it's done. I'm aware of the sensitivity of nitro so I'm a bit concerned, but I haven't heard any horror story's, (like you hear about guitar stands) and so far, I...

The simple question is... dose anyone know of any ill effects of (ELE foam) the thick gray flight/road case foam, or (ETHA foam) the ridged, more black colored flight/road case foam on nitrocellulose lacquer? For the past few years I've had to start building cases for my instruments, so I went...

That Leopard looking "walnut?" stuff is seriously cool.... but hey all of your stuff is. As it should be. :thumbsup:

I've also done this a few times also. It only works, or works well, with bolt on necks with an angled head stock (IMO) . You just have to be willing to put a grove all the way through the center of the neck, having access to the truss rod at one end, (head stock/heal) and plug the other end. I...

Awesome Bruce! Cheesealum, Ha Ha. I think I had some of that on a sandwich last week. I use hardware store aluminum angle on my custom cases. With that, I'm ready to start some experiments. I just want to say thanks again, I truly appreciate you taking the time to share you knowledge and...

GREAT job Rock! There's nothing else I can say, it's just so... so... GREAT JOB!

Yeah man! Your already planing to start over... what do you have to lose? Give it a go, I believe you can do it. :thumbsup:

Thank you SOOO much Bruce! I truly feel better informed. I'm almost ready to adopt aluminum as my new go to material for reinforcement rods. I only have two more questions. 1) - do you think the aluminum you can get from HD will work for this, (have you tried it? I believe it's 6063) or is it...

Well done Sir!
