| I know there has been tons of discussion about using Pelican cases, but has anyone managed to use one for a double body Emmons? And if so can you share your method for building the interior and a pic? I need something lighter with wheels on it. Thanks in advance! |

Chris the Pelican cases aren't exactly that light ... maybe your thinking of the wheeled SKB drum stand cases many of us use for flying cases ??

Hi Chris yes thats the one I have been using for quite a few years - it's held up well and is very light - I usually just carry the body of the guitar (D10) in mine to keep it under the airline limit of 23KG/50lb and just stow the pedal bar, legs and rods in another bag with my clothes etc.. I only use it for flying though! (which I do quite a bit)

| I guess the weight isn't the issue really I just need something on wheels, and I'm hesitant to put casters and a handle on a vintage case. No plans to fly. But I'm not really comfortable with the soft gator case I see people using. I'm assuming you cut custom foam for it? Curious what you used and where you sourced it. Thank you for the input! |

Hi Chris yes I did line it with a nice thin, but stout foam and thats held up well! No point in me telling you where I got it as I am in New Zealand :-} ... there will be plenty of guys on here who can guide you on sourcing that I am sure. The wheels hold up pretty well too so no problem with those.
