RE: Custom cases in Europe? (in reply to Solquemia)

yeah so...I had this guy from Poland build a case for me. I've been quite happy with it, until... I had a humidifier in the case right next to the guitar's side, as there is a little space I can fit a guitar nomad humidifier in it. The case was on the back seat of my car and I didn't think much of it. It stayed there for 20 minutes and there was a little sunlight shining through. Long story short, the case heated up, the heat seeped through and heated up the humidifier (plastic) and it steamed off the finish where the humidifier was touching the guitar.... the finish is being repaired right now, and I was again looking for a good case. I bought a hiscox pro-II-gcl-L, which should have been okay (390mm lower bout), but these extra pads made it fit way too snug for my liking. also when closing the case, the strings don't mute, so there's too much vibration/stress inside the case and the lid doesn't sit flush with the top. so this one went back. I might try out the Gewa Air case, which might be good, but the neck rest is mere string compartments that you can take out, and no headstock cradle. I'm thinking custom again, maybe accord, maybe hoffee...but I'm clueless.
