I solved this problem for just under $100 at the local gun shop.



They had a wide variety of high quality, light cases, designed for firearms.

I bought a viola case and with a little modification for the neck it worked fine.

Thanks Joey and Russ. Either idea would work fine for me I'm sure.

I don't know what a Godin electric mandolin looks like, but I found a (shaped, hard) case for one that's a slightly oversized fit for a Rick bakelite.

I have a Godin A8 Electric Mandolin.

Pix here: http://joeyace.com/A8Mando.htm

It's case is too small for the Ricky BD-6.

Don't know about other Godin models.

Hey George,

There's so much good info here, perhaps we should move this post to the "Steel Without Pedals" section.

It's your post, your call.


Ben, That Mando Case seems perfect.

Wish I knew where three or four more were. These are just a little loose around the edges and need to have the accessory compartment dismantled.)

Sorry to dredge up this old post, but wondering if there are any new ideas re: case for a bakelite ? Anyone try the Goldtone lap steel case ?
