recommendations for a large case?
 

I recently picked up a big ol' Harmony jazz archtop. Came with a chipboard case held together with duct tape. Would like something a bit sturdier. Lower bout is 17 inches. Anybody know of a source for a hard case to fit a guitar that size?
I guess a gig bag would work too, they also seem hard to find in that size.

Guild made some big cases in the past. I used one for my giant old Epi Broadway archtop. I think that one was 17.5" across the lower bout. I might still have a big case in my garage, but if so, it's old.

Here's a few options - gig bags (Guild) start @ $69:

Thanks guys!

Check dimensions closely. A lot of gig bags you would think would work are either to narrow or short.

The Hiscox jumbo will fit a lot of 17" bout archtops. They make a good case. Best to watch for sales.

I have a TKL case for my Epiphone Blackstone (16 3/8” lower bout).

I’ll add that no way is my archtop going in a gig bag, just saying......

Ameritage maybe?

I use a normal Jumbo size case for my 17" archtop. I have a TKL Premier case, and for my money it's good value unless you were flying all the time.

Any case made for a Gibson Jumbo J200-style guitar would do. The Epiphone Broadway case is 17" across and made for the archtop.
