Need a Flight Proof Case-Air line approved

Post by Richard Paul »

Cabela's has a new gun case, w/wheels, Airline approved. Item 22-7931, 38" x 14" x71/2".
I have a MSA 12 Vintage.
Took the ruber pad from right had side ans topand bottome pading out. Put in new lining. Pulled the old "T" devider out of the old case recovered it. Put in two screws to hold devider. Guitar went in and room for legs on the other side of devider. No room for Vol/ Pedal. It is a little heavier then the old case, wheels, tongue-and groove closure, biposition butterfly latches strong, sprong loaded handles. In their new catalog. Price $149.99 + shipping. Sure is nice.

Does anyone have experience with neatly finishing a case interior with velvet? I like to know what glues have been used successfully and a procedure for getting the fabric to glue in neatly.
