Default Factory hard case for D Jr.

I was wondering if Martin makes a factory hard case for the D Jr.

I am having yet another one hot rodded and want to take very good care of this one.

Or if anyone has any other hard case suggestions that would be fine too.

Thanks in advance

Yes I bought one for mine from Sweetwater several years ago but the price has gone up since then.

Yes. But it's very expensive and the two I owned didn't close properly. It seemed almost an afterthought. Maybe that's fixed now. Here are a few places I found them in stock.

I bought one from our local shop where i originally bought the guitar. The fit is quite snug- but it works.

Yes. Burning River it is. Jake has done a few for me. He is an amazing luthier and customizer of fine guitars. He builds the guitars that the factory should be building. You cant go wrong with Jake. Great guy too. Will build it exactly how you want it.

What have you done with the others you had done? I'd love to find one of these on the secondary market one day.

Yes. I bought mine from Sweewater in 2015 when my D Jr. was new. It's a solid case three buckle version with Martin badge, just like the ones that come with the 15 series.

They are not cheap.

What does Burning River do to them? Can you share some of those details? I have a Martin D Jr. and am interested to learn...
Thanks

By the way mine is in a Gator Case and it fits great.

This is the quick rundown of what he does. Just FYI when you're done you'll have spent more on modding than you did on the original guitar and case. Still, they look awesome. I'd love to have one.

-Vintage D-18 Style Refinish (Nitrocellulose gloss) with Rosewood head plate
-Grover Nickel Sta-tite Tuners
-Bone Nut and Saddle
