Are any of you familiar with Travelite cases from Saga? I'm looking for a similar rigid foam case with custom dimensions.

Hi Ken:

What do you need to know? I have bought four of them through secondary sources (still less than retail) because Saga sets the bar pretty high to set up a wholesale account. To buy wholesale from them they wanted the initial order at $1,000. That is a lot of cases at $60 per. I have not checked with them on custom work.

Hi George,
I talked a little with them about custom orders and was told that I would have to buy the mould. Since this is for a friend who only needs one case I didn't think that was a good way to go. He has a twelve fret OM that won't fit their case. By the way they told me that the start up order for guitar makers was $250.
