Hi friends,
I have a Carter Starter with no case.
Does anyone know where I can get a case or even a gig gag for it?
I'd prefer something light, small & cheap. In that order, if possible.

I got a cheap keyboard gig bag. It's too big but will accommodate the large foam blocks I use to sandwich the guitar and separate the leg/pedal/rod bag from the PSG. Lately I've been putting a Rogue lap steel in there too, and it's all still lighter than my SD10 in the case
The non-padded bag that comes with the CS makes a great fitting dust/rain cover when set up.

Hi David. I like using soft cases, and separating the legs/pedal-bar from the body (a.k.a poor man's "split cases"). It's an inexpensive solution, and offers significant weight savings compared to a hard case.
I use a soft soft keyboard case (gig bag, nuthin' fancy) for the guitar body, and a soft tactical shotgun case for the pedal bar, pedal rods and legs ("tactical" owing to the shorter length).
The guitar body is supported in the soft case on some styrofoam blocks (whatever you can scrounge, cut to fit), and padded with 2" foam (found this at Joanne's Fabric store). Hard cardboard corners in the long edges of the case provide addded stiffness and support. It's surprisingly robust.

Re: Cheap case for Carter starter?
Actually, I know just what you need! I had the same issue with my CS last year and found a perfect and affordable solution. Check out this light stand equipment bag on Amazon:David Farrell wrote:Hi friends,
