Thread Name: Problems Calton Cases of Canada?
Subject: RE: Problems Calton Cases of Canada?
Tobias is right, Johnny Green. The fit of a Calton is the most amazing thing. Each case is custom made for every instrument.
Only the very best hardware is used. I can remember Al sending back almost identical Chinese made hinges and catches because they weren't quite good enough. They weighed a little less and turned out to be plated brass rather than steel.
Only the very best Foam
Only the very best velvet lining- Made in Poland!! Nothing else will do.
Linda Manzer half joked when she viewed the factory a few years ago that Al put more work into a case than she put into her multi-$K guitars.
Even with all the problems at Calton including staff loss, the cases still seem to be of the same quality. ----If you can get one or get a response.
....... But I'm not bitter! ;-)
