Guitar Case

[TonySFLDLTHR]

Denny Lowe is our resident master craftsman and, with a little help, he creates nearly all of our new patterns and kits. His latest project is making a guitar case, a project he’s never tried before. Here’s a peek into his process.

Awesome write up on the process. I had someone ask me about making one of those one time. I quoted a price, and that ended that. That is a 2 percent piece. Only 2 percent could really afford it.

That is beautiful!!!

Ya know... That looks like it would be a perfect fit for one of my guitars. So if you find it takes up too much room in your shop, you can just send it my way...

They've got a really big shop!

Just need to find the right country music star! Not always easy as it seems.

As Tugadude said, we have a pretty big place here. Room for lots and lots of stuff. Hopefully we can get a few things made out of the Shell Cordovan we got in and I can show you some of that as well!

Now that's nice, may have to stop in while in Branson, and see this that beauty.

Heirloom, museum quality craftsmanship piece! A tip of the hat to Denny for sharing his process...I followed along on FB as it developed...most intriguing!

Was a similar case in a local (Tucson) music store from years ago. While it is an accomplishment and and amazing amount of skill involved, it's basically useless and the heaviest case I ever lifted. In addition, if it was offered at a fair price, it would cost more than all but the most expensive instruments. 

It may have a home at the Musical Instruments Museum in Phoenix. They have a copy of Elvis' leather tooled guitar.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW. That is GREAT WORK. I only wished I had the patience to do that. I know a few pickers that might be interested if you are wanting to sell it.
