Default NCD! (Hoffee content)-Huge thanks to AGF members

Greetings to all.

First off, I would like to thank all the AGF members who share their opinions in my post while I was searching for a good flight case. Guys/gals your input is greatly appreciated!

Now, after all the input I narrow down my research to Calton, Karura, and Hoffee. While I was on their websites, I realized that Hoffee cases shop is in Joliet, IL just an hour from my house. So, I spoke with Jeff Hoffee and today the case was ready and I went to his shop and picked it up. It is the Jackson Pollock finish and looks super cool in person. A truly well build product. I am loving it!

Jeff is an outstanding professional to deal with for sure.

Pics are from inside Jeff's shop

(I hope the images come through nice. First time I use Imgur)

I ordered a Hoffee case for a custom Martin. Even without measurements, the case was a perfect fit. Mine was the standard black carbon fiber, but yours has a lot more panache. Thumbs up for Hoffee!
