I have a 2012 American Deluxe Strat, and I'm wondering if my strat will fit ok in a vintage tweed case. If so, where would be the best place to go about getting a truly vintage tweed case. I just like the look of the tweed cases.

It's not like the strat has changed much. Go and test fit if you're unsure. I'd say CL or eBay are your best bets.

From time to time Muscians Friend has some pretty good deals on cases. Or you could try www.rondomusic.com, their case prices are pretty good. I bought a short scale SX bass and case from them a couple years ago and it was all good.

Thankfully I got an SX before they changed to the new, fugly "Ursa" style headstock.

G&G Cases is the builder for Fender and many other manufacturers. www.ggqualitycase.com. They've been building for Fender since the Titanic sank. They'll build to suit your needs. There are also 'look alikes' by other manufacturers available, Most 'vintage' tweed cases look like they've been dragged behind a truck for 40 years by this time. If you want the 'real deal', its going to be by G&G.

Woah, slow down, run that by me again, the Titanic sank?

Someone should totally make a movie about that.

What a great idea :idea: :!: A screen adaptation of that 1898 novel by Morgan Robertson entitled "Futility"

I'm looking for investors. :wink:
