That's isn't necessarily true, unless working with a brand new Phillips or a truly high quality screwdriver (Kaufman Vintage and Natalie's Orchid Island, anyone?). Most phillips head screwdrivers aren't made all that well, and will quickly get damaged to the point that they no longer effectively fit the screws, especially if you are pushing them down into the screws regularly. That type of thing isn't generally necessary.

Sorry guys and gals, I've been out on vacation with my family in Iderho. Not many of them have internet.
I just got back at some obscene hour this morning. Here are the new members of the team.

Just got finished with a headcase for My 7 Pro. I couldn't really find anything out there that I absolutely loved, so I rolled My own.
Thanks Laz and rodl! Glad You Guys like it!
I'd been wanting to do something very "old school-classic" looking with some nice soft 'n' mushy tolex for a while. When I was coming up with the idea concept, I kept thinking of those cool headcases that Mesa makes for a lot of Their stuff. It turned out really cool, and I feel way more confident on working with tolex now.

while we are on the subject of rack cases can someone tell me how deep the 7pro is? it doesnt look like the BIG 19" deep that the 4 pro is....i am getting one this week and i wanna know which road case i gotta make some space in....thanks i will be requesting a number real soon.......
Again, Thanks Verminaard and Majortoby!
Nubs, Front to back including the feet that are on the back of it, the 7Pro is 11" deep (overall). I would think, that a 12" deep rack would be more than sufficient. Maybe, one of the Guys that have the Carvin head cases could give a measurement of the depth of those. If I wouldn't have built Mine, I probably would've went with one of those, as they look pretty nice.
Edit- I was a bit late, Verminaard was already on it.

I was looking at that. Will it have enough room on the side to allow sufficient airflow?
I don't believe anyone sells the black diamond tolex that's on the new portaflex cabs. That would look very cool though.
