Hi out there,

I reading on the forums that the original Fender Black Tolex cases that are put out today are the same inside and will not fit a 70 (Large Headstock) like they did in the 70s? Is this true. I know back in the 70 when I bought my 70's Stratocaster if fitted perfect in the case. I have one of these on backorder and might cancel.

Even though these Black Tolex Hardshell cases were out in the 60's and 70's and fit the larger headstocks, does anyone know if these same cases that are put out today only accomodate the smaller heastocks? I just purchased a new 70s reissure and I'd like to konw if it will fit or not.

Thanks!

Well, they are the exact same on the outside - the inside is a bit different - there is more padding - the material is a bit different too - more redish than orange - I just got mine this evening - it was on backorder as well - the guitars with the large headstock will fit in there, the padding at the tip of the headstock is pretty tight though - Once it gets broke in, it shouldnt be a problem

I ordered the mine from Sam Ash, and has been on backorder, is that where you got yours from? I ordered the Black Tolex with the Blue Plush lining interior.

So do you really have to force it in a lot? Do you think it's going to wreck your headstock. In what changes did they make to the interior from the 70s that make it fit so tight today that it won't fit easily like back then. Do you think the cases even though their the same on the outside today had modificatoin to the interior of the case just becuase most all the Strats coming out today have small headstocks?

Thanks!

It seems unlikely, because there's actually quite a few models in the catalogue at present with the large headstocks. But it would certainly be interesting when you receive yours if you felt like coming back to this thread and letting us know the outcome.

Cheers - C

EDIT: Oops, sorry: I posted this before seeing that you'd given the answer in another thread.
