Just thought I would show a picture of the new Ameritage cases that arrived last week. I had them custom colored inside and out and my logo embroidered also. Next time I order, I'll have the logo text changed to a lighter color. Otherwise I am excited about the cases!



 


By the way, Nancy over at Ameritage was a dream to work with. She helped me get just the right case made and made each step of the process a pleasure. GREAT company!

The embroidry actually says "Hodges Handcrafted Guitars" but it is a little difficult to see. I tried taking several pictures of the case and for some reason it comes out looking like you are looking through a window screen.... oh well..


Thanks for the comments!

I like your color choice. Same as mine. Did you get the Blue crushed velvet interior or one of the others?

Very Nice Ken...I just got mine also. But never thought of changing colors...that's really nice. Do you remember the up charge for the color change?

I dod go for the blue crushed velvet interrior also. It makes a really nice combination. As far as price, I cant discuss it. It was minimal though.

Depends on how many cases you by at a time. You pay the luthiers price for custom cases the available options are many. I could be wrong here but if I remember right I don't think there was much if any up charge for exterior and interior options as they have a standard palate to chose from. I could be wrong here but if I remember right when I set up my cases the only up charge was for the initial art programing for my embroidered logo. We are not supposed to say how much we pay but it is based on a 1-2, 3-5 and 6 and more case orders but even at the 1-2 case orders the luthier break is substantial. Surprisingly so over the retail price.
