Getting on my case
|

My Cordoba FCWE is a thin-bodied acoustic-electric guitar that I use for all my gigs. It came in a form-fitting case that did not have a strap, only a handle. A friend of mine installed a strap, using wood screws. This arrangement worked fine until several months ago, when the screws going into the case holding the upper body started to come out. The interior of the case appears to be made of some kind of soft white foam, not a great thing to anchor in. A guy at the hardware store recommended some kind of glue or epoxy, which I used and did not help. Eventually, the screws came out entirely, and my solution was to drill new screws in a slightly different place. Unfortunately, this only worked for a few months; the strap popped out while I was in the parking lot yesterday. Different hardware person gave me Plastic Wood to fill the holes and redrill. I did that this morning. It still felt very soft inside, so I don't think it is going to hold very long. Certainly not long-term (although the original arrangement did last 7 years!). Any ideas as how to get the strap securely on the case?
