carrying cases

Posted by Hellhound Custom Built Guitars on November 5, 2010 at 10:41pm in For Sale: Cigar Box Guitars, other instruments, cd
I am thinking about starting to construct carrying cases for CBGs. Does any one think it is a good or bad idea. What do people use to transport them now ? I cant find any for sale so I think its a good idea but would people buy them?

    I have since the original post of this discussion started to build my own cases as well.

    Holds my two main gigging instruments, but I can swap out almost any CBG I've made (with the exception of very deep boxes) without problems.

    Yep - in the Toys R Us music area they have a soft side case that goes on sale occasionally at $15 each. I wouldn't use it for plane or train travel, but it's great for running around locally.

    I think you may have something there. I, however, have too many various cases as it is. I've found that they usually fit in either a baritone uke case or a small guitar case (like the baby taylor). I know that Jon Pruett buys cases from Toys R Us (to fit their little tiny guitars).

    I've been considering duct tape/ card board for custom cases.  Seems like a match to me for some reason.
