Hey BigFrank are you out there?
Just wanted to know if that SKB SG case worked for your Esprit.

Sorry to take so long to answer - it was a busy weekend. I posted this in the original thread, but no, the case did not fit. The seller was a little bit optimistic in their measurement of the lower bout. It was an inch too narrow at the bottom. Fender still has a few cases available under the original number. They would have to be special ordered by a dealer. However, they have have gone up in price from $169.99 t0 $189.99. I think that's pretty steep for a case they no longer make a guitar for and need to get rid of! I emailed them back and told them so and asked for a price break since the case has been discontinued. As you probably guessed, they have not replied. As far as I am concerned, I'll just leave the Esprit at home and take something I do have a case for when I travel.

Thanks for the update BigFrank.
$189 is kind of steep. I paid $250 for the guitar. Mine will just have to stay in that Ibanez Artstar case with my strap tucked in between the body and the side to keep it from moving around. I usually travel with my beat up strat copy anyhow.
Let me know or post if Fender decides to be more reasonable with that case. I may even shoot them a note to add heat to your fire. I'd pay $100-120 for a case. $189 is just way too much.

Will do! I haven't seen the case they're talking about, either. If it's one of those vinyl covered chipboard cases, it isn't much better than a gig bag. I love the molded case I got for my Strat. It travels extremely well and I have no fears checking it through in baggage. I stenciled my name on it in 3" white letters. I don't think I could do that with a vinyl covered case. The paint would probably eat the vinyl off!
