...that they would let go. I'm interested in seeing if the small bodied case will fit my small guitar and to see if the dred case will fit my SIG. Can anyone spare 2 cases? I'm interested in the good ones (I think there is a 5 in the model). Thanks in advance. Paul

Paul I have a Small body I could part with but I have to tell you that for me to ship it cost as much as the case becaue I don't have a commercial account with UPS.

Good point. Dickey and I are trying to work out the details to purchase together. I really hate minimum orders.

I guess I wasn't intending for this to turn into a group buy thing. I only need to check sizes to make sure they will fit. Got that taken care of. Thanks Paul

Keith is sending me one on a 10 day trial. I really want to make sure it fits before I do anything. If all is well, then I'll pull the trigger on this.

Let me know if you get an order togather. I could use a dread. I don't seem to build many dreads but I do have an upcoming order for one, So if you need a 4th to fill out an order let me know.

Michael, I have three Custom Cedar Creek Dred cases if you want one of those. Not too bad on the price, but it's more than Access. Built like a tank, great protection. Doubles as body-building equipment.

Yes, me too? What's up with that? Ameritage is the best thing going for the price.
Unless you're trying to radically reduce the cost....

I've been using Cedar Creek myself and they are really nice cases. The Access Stage 5 sure fill a niche in the market. I'd love to see an Ameritage in person, haven't ever considered them.

Brock were you addressing me or Michael?

I've learned in these threads to address individuals because in the time it takes to type a response someone else can jump in and it looks like you are referring to their post. ??

Not me on Ameritage, just seen the pics, they look good.

I agree they are among the best protection, but my student market will barly tolerate the added cost for a Cedar Creek more less an Ameritage

Scroll to the right and hit the Quote button, it's just past the Post Reply button on the right too. Look harder, put your glasses on, get someone else to help you look. Push 3,4,5,6..... Hold on while I transfer you to the mother ship.... Do you see that button yet Serge. I'm trying to be patient here PBbbbbbbtttttthhh!

I'm looking for something to use to ship to Tony. Ameritage cases are VERY heavy and cost a fortune to ship.

I have a cheapie dread case I use to ship to Tony in. I just stuff rags in it to take up any extra space. I have never had a problem yet.
