Hi all. I just got a Guardian fiberglass case yesterday. I thought with a little retro fitting it would work well for my SIG bodies. Not so much. I figure I'll pretty much have to gut the insides and rebuild it. So, I'm thinking someone else could make better use of it.
Here is a link to Guardian Cases if you want to check it out. Dred size case in fiberglass.
I'd be interested is swapping for back/sides or top wood. Any interest from anyone?

I have a hardshell Gator case that I got from finecases.com that doesnt fit any of my dreads either. I think it is for a 12 fret dread and I build 14 frets. I'd trade it for something else too. SHould have listed it on the swap, but it didnt cross my mind at the time...


if you have any use for it, maybe we could just swap them?

Hey, it says it fits a Dread ... thats about as useful as them saying, this is a guitar case, you know, for a guitar. The specs pop up is completely useless as well.

too bad I dont build dreads .... looks like a nice enough case Paul.

I know you have some quilted Sapele you are trying to get rid of.
Maybe two sets for a case (shipped)?

Thus Tony's comment above. I can't answer that question. All the information they give is that it is a dred size.

Tony.....Funny!

Paul, I'll think about it. Usually I go for Ameritage cases exclusively, but that looks like a decent case, no?

Don - thats just Marketing/Sales 101 ... tell the customer what he wants to hear - let the engineers and installers figure it out after that
