Hello from the Volunteer State!
I’m in the market for a case for my double neck National steel.
It’s 11 inches wide and 36 inches long. Doesn’t have to be original or even vintage. It would be a bonus if the legs tucked into the case but I could make do if they didn’t.

Thanks
Bob E Jones

I'd look for a keyboard case wether hard or padded if you're not concerned about having a case that is for the guitar but only protection. Heres couple doing a quick search:

Sometimes Craigslist or Marketplace FB will have something like this.

Hugh Briley made a really good case for my '52 Gibson Console Grande. Hugh really took the time to get the measurements right and the fit was beautiful. The price was very reasonable.

Here is a recent post on Hugh's work...

I got a molded rifle case from Plano for my lap steel, less than $100, this one would fit your 36 x 11 inch guitar without legs (I'm not sure about your guitar's height): https://www.zoro.com/plano-molding-gun-case-single-black-44-l-17-w-pla11842/i/G6542790/ You can find many others, but the idea is a hard plastic case with layers of cut-to-fit foam inside.

Another vote for Hugh Briley.
