I recently ordered a CS Strat, which will probably take at least six months. I've been hearing that the CS cases being supplied are very poor, which would be a great disappointment. I'm hoping that Fender will straighten out this problem by the time mine is ready to ship!

In the meantime, it would be interesting to hear what folks think of the cases they receive over the next few months.

On a positive note, the quality of the CS guitars are definitely not in question, which is why I didn't hesitate to order one.

My impressions were the same on taking delivery of my team built Stratocaster about two years ago. I was expecting a fitted interior with the CS logo on the inside of the lid. Such was not the "case".

Coincidentally, I was on the phone yesterday with G&G with respect to having them build a fitted case for that guitar consistent with the one which was supplied with my '94 PRS. They built THAT case and it really is a honey.

Considering the prices being asked by Fender for Team-built and Masterbuilt guitars, a case the quality of those supplied by PRS is definitely in order, and Fender ought to take note.( Yo!! Moderators!!!){

I would inquire of your dealer about Fender deducting the cost of the case from your purchase and take the guitar alone, if you feel the quality of the cases is not commensurate with the guitar.
