Case recommendation for Fairbanks F-45?

[hangil210]

I picked up a new beautiful Fairbanks.

I am looking for a good case that fits and protects my F-45 well. I guess any case that fits Gibson J-45 or J-35 will be okay as well (or the same body shaped guitar of any maker). I do not need the heavy duty ones like Calton or Hoffee, but am still looking for quality cases better than Gator.

Which case brands do you guys recommend?

Thank you.

Hiscox Pro-II. Tough yet light. Fits my J-45 just fine.

Silly question but, have you been in touch with Dale F.?

Congratulations on your new guitar! Somehow in the next year or so, after paying for a wedding and possibly one or two cars, I have to break the news to my wife that Dale is building my new guitar....

My wife is very savvy and her words will be, "That's fine - just sell your Bourgeois!" She's so practical ...

I think Dale has recently been putting his guitars in Harptone cases.

He is....he was using the "vintage" model, but I think he's been using the "red line" ones lately.

Yeah, I follow Dale on Instagram and I’ve seen both of those used at some point. The redline cases are hot. If they were a little cheaper I’d grab one for my 2012 Fairbanks.

^ This would be my answer.

My J 50 lives happily in a Hiscox. And it’s light, durable, well balanced, strong, and didn’t cost me a fortune.

Mine came with a redline case. I have a Calton for it also.
