Might a case be had that fits this little Martin X?

[Shortfinger]

It's the gift I got for our son-in-law for father's day. A used 00X1AE in excellent condition, and while it came with a decent case, the guitar is swimming in it.

While I can pad out the case to make things work, I would like a case that seems more made-to-fit.

Here are its dimensions:

Overall length = 39 5/8"
Body length = 19"
Upper bout = 10 7/8" width at max
Waist = 9"
Lower bout = 14 1/4"
Body depth at bottom end = 4" (yes, these Martin Xs are kinda thin)

When I email or do chat with the places like GC, Sweetwater, and Musician's Friend, they all want to steer me to a case for a triple-0, which I believe is quite a bit larger than this 00.

If you've a nicely-fitted case for a 00 with dimensions close to these, tell me about it.

I had bought a tweed case for my 00 from Musicians friend for $80. I'll see if they still carry it and post the link.

Thanks, Barry. Mind checking the dimensions, or is your 00 the same Martin I have?

Oops! Never mind. The case size is nicely shown at the website, and it looks like it'll fit like a glove.
