I am building an S10 lap and need a gig bag to go with it... any suggestions on where to find one or have one made for a reasonable price? Thanks!  |

| Cases for travel guitars work very well. The gig bags for Martin 'Backpacker' guitars are available from Elderly Instruments. |

I'm looking for something that TSA won't tackle me over... not sure if a tactical shotgun case is the best idea! 
I have spent a lot of time flying with an 8-string lap and it was nice to put it in the overhead and not worry about it (Morrell Pro). This new one will be heavier, being made of Wenge and Bloodwood, and I know it won't be as light. I really like those Rogue bags, but I know a 10-string will not fit in that thing. I just need to make friends with a bag maker, I suppose. |

There are lots of keyboard gig bags on the market.
You might find one close to the right size for your
guitar that would do the job. |

Go to Walmart and get a tip-up case in sporting goods. Fits mine PERFECT!

I just bought this case for my lap steel but it was not big enough. It will hold a guitar up to 36". I'd sell this brand new case for $70 shipped. Interior is 36 x16 . Foam is intact so you can customize it to your guitar.
