I have some more cases up for grabs. I'm clearing out these as I'll be
using come high end custom ones for my guitars from now on as my
prices are going up...although these cases are really nice as it is. They
are TKL professional series cases. Made to fit my SJ size which is a little
on the smaller side. The specs on these SJ's are:

15 1/4" Lower Bout
10 3/4ths Upper bout
20 inch length
4 1/2ths Depth at Lower Bout

They work very well for OM sized guitars (fit very snug, and nice) though,
as well as some others. Black exterior with burgundy crushed velour
inside. Gold latches,and a locking latch. Nice faux leather handle.
Arched top. Very sturdy cases. Brand new in the plastic still. I think I
have about 10-12 of them.

Price is $70 plus shipping (right at $20 for shipping via USPS priority
mail). Also work great for an Olson sized guitar. First come first serve.
E-mail me or PM me if your interested. I can get some pics tomorrow,
but they are just like the TKL pro series just a special size.John Mayes38763.9885300926

Hi John, would you put one back for me and let me get home tomorrow to make a couple of measurements...? And do you know if the OLF SJ will fit these?

Thanks,
Larry

Will Do Larry. I'll also take some better measurements of the actual cases
today. They were supposed to be made to fit my guitars, but they never
fit them exactly (but real close) so I'll get the actual measurements of the
case today.

Can someone please post the OLF SJ dimensions as it would pertain to case size? I'd like to figure out if they would fit John's cases and if not I want to know how much adjustment would have to be made to the plans to make them fit.

Thanks

here are the actual dimensions of the cases I measured today:

Lower Bout: 15 1/4
Waist: 9 3/8
Upper bout 11 3/4
Depth 4.5 ish (maybe deeper..hard to tell with the lid open but I think it
could go a touch deeper)

And some pics:





One with my new SJ (olson size body)



One with an OM

John,
How do you think the OLF SJ would fit in your cases? It looks like you case is a little small. Is that too much squish?

ub 11 5/8
lb 15 1/2
waist 9 3/4
body length 19 15/16
Depth   ????

J Mayes SJ specs
ub       11 3/4

waist and lb are issues on the OLF SJ waist in perticular. I have taken the side padding out of TKL's before and refitted the padding to work. It is not real hard at all The only hard part is finding the crush velure in the right color. I am luck there as I have a fabric store that has a red that matches TKl's perfect
