I’m meeting a gent who is buying an OM from me, but needs a case. He wants to keep it around $80 for the case ... I know Yamaha makes pretty decent little cases for about that but I’m not sure which Yamaha body style is close to an OM so I can get the right case ... the options are classical / concert / and dred. I’m guessing concert would be what I want, but I wanted to check w you guys
Thanks

Classical is more an 00 size and will be too small. Dread is way too big. Concert is more or less the same as a 000/OM but I would sure double check. FWIW I built two OM's recently and put one in a TKL OM case and one in a Martin OM case - they fit perfectly.

Also, the TKL site has dimensions for all the variants. I would measure the git and try to find the closest match (if it's not standard OM size).

It is a standard Martin Om

Check the dimensions to be sure, then order on Prime: https://www.amazon.com/TKL-7805-Premier ... 569&sr=8-1

Not sure if the price is right. TKL gives builder pricing too.

Sometimes you can find cases reasonably priced on eBay. Here is one listing among many:

If you offer him $60, he might take it , so with shipping and tax you might get it for mid $80's -$90
