don't people just do not sell their calton cases?
do i have to order a new one? if so what size should i order so it fit my flamenco guitar?
do i have to order it from the manufacturer? or i can get it cheaper in other places too?

any help would be appreciated.

A lot of the benefit of these cases comes from the made-to-order fitment. That's not to say you couldn't find one that would work on the used market, but the classical sized ones don't come up very often. Calton is having a lot of customer service problems at the moment and I know a lot of people who have been affected (including several luthiers) - if you want more details you can message me privately.

If you're not planning to fly, I would consider the mid or high end Hiscox cases. MUCH cheaper than Calton, and they offer a ton of protection. If you want a custom fit fiberglass case, I would recommend Hoffee.

Agree with the above post... I have a Hiscox middle grade case. It seems to be bomb proof while not as heavy as some.

If you go Hoffee, you might ask Jeff (the owner) if he has any blemished cases.
He gave me a great deal on a case that has a small blemish.

The case is otherwise incredible. SOOooo light, and you can watch his videos for proof of strength.

I'm a believer!
