Default Hard case for Emerald X7?

As some may recall from a prior post, my Emerald X7 suffered a disfiguring wound (affected only form -- not function), and in the interest of preventing a further such indignity, I have been thinking about a hard case, as opposed to the Road Runner "Little Brat" gig bag I've been using (FYI, the string ends ended up chewing up the lining of the original bag it came with). Does anybody know of hard cases that are generally available and are at least a decent fit for the X7?

All I can say is that I have both a gigbag and hardshell case for my Chimaera provided by Emerald. Both are very good quality. If Emerald has a hard case made for an unusually sized guitar like the Chimaera, I can’t say for sure, but I would assume one is made for the X7. You may want to reach out to Sean to find out.

Bit of a tough call , given the X7’s unique shape.

Here’s mine , looking slightly lost in a Taylor GS Mini bag.
A hard case about that size (maybe a small classical or a 3/4 size ?) and a towel would do the job.

Good Luck.

I bought a hard case for my Martin Dread Jr. off ebay, an off brand that works well, I'm not sure how close the dimensions are to the X7, but can try it and see if you decide you are interested.

My Larrivee Parlor hard case fits my Emerald T8 really well.

I think it’s this one
