Sometime back someone posted a site that offered gig bags for lapsteels, Im looking a bag for a Remington single neck 8 string, Its got a super custom built case, however I need something more light weight to carry, any Info would be helpful.

Look into keyboard bags. I got one for my Dual Professional and it works fine.

I purchased a keyboard gig bag from Musician's Friend for a double-neck Magnatone Lyric. I cut and used foam to pad it. Reduced the weight and could carry onto airplane. Worked out great. 
Aloha,

Look into breakdown shotgun cases at sporting goods stores/websites. All sorts of sizes and qualities and generally cheaper than music stores.

I would highly recommend checking out these softshell cases.

Ken is an awesome guy to work with, and he does fantastic work. I have three of his cases. One for my Weissenborn, one for my Rickenbacher and one for my Dual Pro. They all fit the instruments like gloves.
I believe the Clinesmith guitars can come with these cases.

Check your local music store for a Fender Squier Mini-Strat gig bag. Most laps fit and they are only $30 new.

When I bought my excellent Harry Shepard 'Harbor Lights' guitar it came in a Martin Travel Guitar bag. Does the job fine. Just a simple oblong bag with handles and zip.

Hey Ray, If you mean the Martin Backpacker gig bags I totally agree. I've bought three of them and they are great! They also have a shoulder strap and a front pocket large enough for a volume pedal. Not really fully padded but usually under $30.

That's the one Gary. At that price you can't complain and they do the job.
