I've been wearing out my Larrivee cases. I've destroyed two on my Jumbo since 1999. My L09 case is still pretty solid, but it travels about 20% of the time. Still my guitars have always traveled well. I do travel a lot (every week) and they do take a lot of hard use.

I could not afford the cost of a Calton case, nor wait the time they wanted to make it. But I would rather have my Larrivees in a Calton case.

I fly more Southwest more then any other airline, mostly because of the guitars, CDs and banjo (no extra cost for checked bags). They are also very much customer oriented if it ever comes to an issue with damage.
