Are you concerned about having original equipment or possibly something that will handle airline abuse, or maybe you just want something inexpensive?
There are quite a few bargains in a new after market guitar cases out there. Just make sure the dimensions are correct.
You could probably go to Rickenbacher too but expect to pay double.
Is there a severe nack angle on that Rick kinda like a Les Paul or is it more flat like a Fender tele?
You want a case that doesn't stress the neck joint.
I'm a big fan of making a custom case. -3/4' pine for sides capped with 1/4" luan top and bottom. Make an enclosed box then cut it in half on a table saw. Cover with covering of your choice, add hinges/stops/buckle/internal padding. Probably won't save any money but will be a custom fit if that's your concern.
