Hey folks,

I recently got a Georgeboards Islander 8 string off of Reverb. Really enjoying the alumitone pickup, btw. The purchase came with the steel and legs, but no case. Anybody got a suggestions as to where I could get a suitable hardcase for gigging?

I just grabbed one of these for a lapsteel, probably enough room for steel plus legs.

You remove squares of foam to exactly fit the outline, and its super heavy duty.

I've found most lap steels fit nicely into a shotgun case.

I usually rip out the existing foam and replace it with high density stuff and cut holes to fit the instruments and any legs or other stuff.

Thanks for the tips. That molded plastic case looks like it'll do the job!
