I need to order a case for my SD-10. I know of Fred Justice. Are there any other options I should consider.
I will have an Emmons D-10 case available once I get the new case for my rig. What is a reasonable amount to ask for the Emmons case. Older case but in very good condition.
Thanks for the help.

When I bought 2 new carters, I ordered one with a flight case and one factory case from carter, the factory carter case blows the flight case out of the water hands down, the flight case does have wheels though. the factory carter case has a perfect fit, and I do mean "perfect".

| I'm sure there are other options available. I'm familiar with Fred's products. Both the man and his products are first class. |

A good wooden case will be about $150-$200

I have bought several cases from albert Johnson and they are great and he is a good guy to deal with, straight up all the way, ask Doug Jernigan , Albert built his cases.

| I bought a flight case for my old LDG from Texas Case Co.,and couldn't be happier.A perfect fit and the wheels are very nice to have when you are 56 years old. They have patterns for most of the Sho-Buds and probably some others. Just have your measurements ready when you call em and they will fix you right up. |

| You cannot get a quality made steel guitar case for $150-$200.00. Maybe in 1980. A decent (properly built)steel case will run about $250.00. |

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. I will follow up with the folks you mentioned. Any one have any thoughts on the value of the Emmons case. Even if just a little it will help on the purchase of a new one and some one might just love to have a good original for their rig.
Thanks again,
Jim |

I got a flight case made for my D10 ShoBud. Cost me the equivalent of $500 and nearly broke my back each time I lifted it. I went down the Hatton lightweight split cases route, and my back has benefited ever since.
