Anyone have an Access Stage 5 OM case? I tried to stuff my new guitar into my Taylor 514 case. Wouldn't fit! It has a 5" wide span between 1st and 6th tuners.If you have one and can measure, and let me know, that'd be great.

(I hvaen't gotten past the voice mail at Access yet)

TIA

I have used 3 of the stage 5 electric guitar cases. they are FAR FAR
superior to the TKL professional series cases. I don't see why the
acoustic cases would be any less.

I'm getting ready to buy some Access 5 cases too. One thing abut them worries me a bit: They are only arch top, not bottom (unlike the TKL professional, I believe). Are they as strong?

the TKL professional series are arch top and not arch back. The elite
series TKL are both. The non arch back is nothing to be concerned about.
They are plenty strong.

Sorry Terry , I already sold them. but several others in quired you might put a group buy togather. They are back ordered till the 6th of December right now. These cases are sellin as fast as they can build them.

Second question is why such a wide spread at the first set of tuners. It might not fit the Access case.

THanks, I am doing a group buy, but as I said I found that it wouldn't fit my Taylor case and that made me rethink, so I measured about 4 3/4" It's not terribly wide, just that mine is wider near the nut and tapers narrow away from the nut. Opposite of what some others do...
