Split Case Manufacturer

Post by Steve Mueller »

Anyone know a good place to price split cases? Looking for one for a D12 Williams.

Hmmmmm.

I would be interested, too, for a split case for my Dekley....it is getting heavier.

You know, a great place to get split cases is from the manufacturer of your steel like I did. It for sure fits. If the guitar maker is still in business.

I spoke to Bill Rudolph at Williams Guitars. They've changed case companies to a new provider but their case orders are backed up for any other than those for Williams Guitars. I was hoping to get one in 2023.

I've had split cases for a few years now - Red Dirt Cases built them for me and they have been awesome...
Both my Zum Hybrids fit in their perfectly, as does my Franklin -- although I had to do a little surgery to cater for the end switches on my Franklin Stereo D10.
The body case is wheeled of course.

Steve Hinson and his son made a light fiber case for me quite a while back for my Sho-Bud and I put the pedal bar and rods in a soft rifle case. It so happens my Dekley D-12 will squeeze in there as well! 8) Really lightens things up. I don't know if Steve is still making those. Somebody should. I think I recall a photo of Randy Beavers using one of Steve's fiber cases as a flight case. It's well padded and I feel pretty good about it.

I bought split cases for my D12 Mullen some years ago from Thomas Cases in North Carolina I think it was. Very nice quality. Not sure if he's still in biz.

Red Dirt Cases made split cases for my Emmons SKH. The cases are fantastic.
