Alex Madrigal sent me photos this morning of the OLF Build #2 Custom OLF SJ case. It ships to the states today and will be at my shop around the 15th.

The model designation is still AME-32 and What they are doing is taking the stock AME-32 case and recontouring the interior to fit the shape



If anyone is interested in buying one for an OLF SJ be sure to contact Alix and spec out the OLF SJ by Michael Payne. It will be a custom as they are not offering it as a stock case at this time. If you order an AME-32 you will get their std SJ case that is 3/4" to long in the lower bout.MichaelP38954.4315509259

I need 1 case...perhaps another in three years.

If anyone is ordering these in quantity, would it be possible for me to buy just one?

Another possibility is the idea of a group buy...since the market for the OLF SJ is solely concentrated here on the forum, I'll bet that I'm not alone in needing just one.

JJ let me talk to Alex next week and see if we can work out a special deal with them on a group buy. I don't make any promises just will see if we can work out some thing. i can say that because these are custon we would be looking at 8-10 weeks on delevery.

So if anyone is interested in the group buy please post here.

Michael
I always buy Ameritage and I work with Nancy Wolsford. I e mailed her
about getting more AME 32's modified. Maybe we can get a group buy. Or
a group build and we buy them separately

Brock I believe that is correct but as this modified case ws a donation I am not sure wht the unit retail for the modified cases is in the first place.

Ok Andy the ball is in your cort. Go for it. I am just guessing but I bet we can put togather an order for 8-10

We will have to see what we can work out Just like most case companies the builders cost is restricted from public publication. in other words confidential, so we can't state directly on the forum. But a group buy like this we are likely to do even a better deal

I don't know about you guys but I really like these cases. Well made and fit great. The staff is also super. I believe you only had to order three ( I usually buy six at a time)to get the embroidery done...they do great work.

I am getting the embroidery work done even when I order a single case.
