New Guitar Cases?

[KennyB]

I just noticed that the MM case my AL came in last month is almost 2" longer than the cases my SMs came in. I know the "Music Man" emblem by the handle is new but are the new cases slightly longer now? Or is this just exclusive to the ALs.

It's because your Canadian and we need an extra 2" to store our goods!

Good one!
That's what I thought.

I noticed that myself with my sons silo case (new replacemnt for the old one) it's larger than my JP7 case by far.

Maybe its a universal replacement across the range for the introduction of the baritone JP?

Hmmm....never thought of that. I bet your on to something there.

i noticed the same thing with my new JP6, aswell as the case is perfectly moulded to the JP body making for a very snug fit. i have to tuck my dimarzio clip lock under the body as it wont fit at the base of the body. ill try and get some pics tonight.

Marduke,

I do the same with my "DiMarzio cliplock" on my Axis!

The guitar cases are all slightly larger, and the JP, Sterling, SingRay and Bongo 4&5 all have unique cases with their appropriate logos with the MusicMan symbol at the handle. The Silhouette Bass & Bongo 6 also have their own cases.

The JP case fits both the 6 and 7 string model, and has a form-fit interior.
The other guitars share one style of case.

Those extra 2" of case help protect the instrument even more, I'm digging them!

Yeah, the SMs and ALs seem to fit just as well in either cases. I never thought about the extra protection. Good point. I like the MM symbol by the handle too. I'm not sure if they feel as balanced as the old cases but then again I didn't notice any difference until I actually stood the cases up side by side.

Thanks for the info Pete.

Will that extra 2" make them too big for overhead lockers in 'planes?
- not that I would allowed to take one on board!!

Spud,

Where you headed??

So, does the 2 additional inches of case make the cost of a case proportionately higher?
