I found a nice lap steel case for my Pettingill P8 Deluxe. It’s a pluck-to-fit rifle case made by Plano. Of course, I’d rather have a custom tweed case by Hugh or Kevin, but this one will do nicely for now, and I’m very happy with the way it turned out.

I have a similar one with an insert for my Clinesmith Joaquin + Deluxe 34 stand and an insert for my Dual Pros. I've had a hard time at airport security convincing them it ISN'T a gun!
That Pettingill is one beautiful guitar.

Man, I could look at Tom's guitars all day long. Such an artist. That case will take good care of your beautiful steel.

Rick,
Love that case for your Pettingill P8.
Where did you order the case from? About how much and what are the dimensions?
I assume you cut out the foam with a utility knife of some sort after tracing the shape of the steel?
I think I might need to do that. I have a Pettingill JYD, that is an odd shape and the Plano case might be perfect for it.

Thanks fellas, she is a beautiful steel, and that Lollar horseshoe gives her such a sweet voice.
Stephen, the model of the Plano case is PLA11842 and the interior dimensions are 43â€x14â€x5†The top layer of foam is a perforated grid and you simply remove the foam in whatever pattern suits your needs. No cutting necessary. It cost about $79 and can be found on Amazon, or most any sporting goods store.

Thanks. I didn't realize it was a grid and that you can just remove pieces of the foam.

Went and bit the bullet and ordered the exact same case for my Pettingill JYD today. Supposed to be delivered on Friday! Pretty good service.
Thanks for the tip Rick!

That junk yard dog gonna love the new house!
Tip: when you layout the pattern, place the guitar in the case facing the wrong way... trace the pattern on the foam with a sharpie and remove the unwanted part...then turn the foam over and the pattern will be correctly oriented and the sharpie marks will be hidden on the bottom of the foam.
