Hi Eric the thread 'ran of the end' about a week ago. I do have a case, it's (from memory) a soft classical guitar one (with shoulder straps and pockets) but I can find you the hobgoblin reference number later today. In the other thread you can see my comments about 'alternative' stringing. I've got mine for octave mando (being a mando player) but the gauges I've chosen seem a touch heavy. Still, tonight is my first session playing it (rather than a few tunes at home) so I'll have a better idea after.
