I think I need a case for a Vintage MSA D10. Wheels would probably be nice.

Does anyone know of any vendors that can cut a case for this guitar?

Thanks.

Phillip, would you PM me contact info for Thomas case co. Assuming this is Wade Thomas that used to build cases for Emmons guitar Co. Thanks in advance.

I second the Kevin Hatton recommendation.
And since it's an MSA, I SERIOUSLY advise split cases.

I bought a couple of Wade Thomas' cases over the years. Been in business for decades, builds as good a case as there is anywhere.

Anyone know what new cases are going for these days? I need a new one for my Sho-Bud LDG.

I have Thomas split cases for my Ritt. Pretty elegant.

I got a bunch of quotes from different case companies recently. You're probably looking at around $300 shipped for a set of split cases.

Yes, both are great case builders and charge a fair price. I needed a Thomas Case repair estimate for UPS. The current # for Wade Thomas is
336-739-1064.

Well, contacted Wade Thomas, and he can't make a case for the Sierra Steel Guitars.

Kevin Hatton made me some split cases years ago and they are still in use. Wheels too!

I'm definitely in the Kevin Hatton camp. He just made me a set of split cases for a Sho-Bud Pro II Custom with the wheels, they're great.

I highly recommend Hugh Briley. He made a perfect split case for my old Sho Bud. Attaches hardware with rivets. Very bomb-proof.
