I have two of these and this one is now surplus to requirements.
It needs some handiwork. The foam-lining has perished and needs replacement. At some point the end-handle broke and a friend replaced it with a home made but effective substitute.
The interior lid is, as you can see, still sound. It accommodates my Emmons D-10 (with legs and pedal-bar secured behind the inside lid) but can be made to fit whatever guitar you have when you reline the inside.
$100 - plus shipping. Paypal if you cover the fees.

Plenty of interest in this case but shipping costs have, so far, proved a disincentive.
It's a better deal if you're within a thousand miles of Naples, FL, of course.
It's a pity for it to go to waste! I don't have the manual skills to restore its interior (or the inclination, if I'm honest) but I'm sure most of you do.

| How long is the case, most of those were for keyless. |

I'm sure it would easily accommodate a keyless but this one has been used with my JCH SD-10 and a D-10 Carter that I once owned.
I believe that this item is now spoken for - I'm awaiting funds.

Roger,
A couple of questions-
What does the case weigh?
What did it weigh in at loaded with your Emmons? |

The case alone is 16 or 17 lbs.
It's been a while since I flew with the Emmons and, in any case, I would always take it into the cabin with me. My Emmons is loaded (8+9) so is on the heavy side for a LeGrande; maybe 65 lbs all in?
For me, though, these cases are all about ease of handling rather than saving weight. The end-mounted handle and the wheels make it feel more like a carry-on bag. 65 lbs, though, is still a lot to do a straight lift with!
As I say, though, the case appears to be sold.
I still have one other (for the Emmons) and I'll keep that as long as I'm drawing breath. I decided to sell this one purely to save some space here at home. Remember, I still have to keep the original factory-standard cases for my guitars.
