I'm having a very difficult time finding a case to fit a grand auditorium body stle of guitar. Do any of you know of any suppliers who might be able to help me? I've been looking at many different sites on line but am having no success.

Thanks, Steve H.

You should check out one of our sponsors, Ameritage. I have heard that they make excellent cases and I know that they have a custom shop where they could build a case that would be perfect for your Grand Auditorium body style.

TKL's concert size is pretty large and deep.  Pretty close to dread size but concert shaped.  What are the dimensions of your body?


TKL was having some quality control issues for awhile.  Just cosmetics but still a drag.  Maybe they've gotten better.  I haven't bought one in a few years.


Ameritage is a great case; sturdy with nice hardware and trim.  Great customer service.  And great arm exercise!

Steve, a dreadnaught case will work just fine. It won't hit the waist perfectly, but it'll get the bouts and the depth.
