George, nice to see another AFM member here. I agree, but I got tired of the fight. I invested in a Calton case and have never looked back. It is indestructible and protects my guitar incredibly well. A few years back I was in a car accident that put me in the hospital for a few days and totalled my Grand Cherokee. It rolled several times and the guitar case went through the front window. It was found over a 100 feet from the vehicle. When I got home, I took my Larrivee out of the case and it was still in tune.

And I think the letter you refer to is in the restricted area of the AFM website.

Mick
