Case for KMG 00-12?

Post by Daniel P » Sun Apr 05, 2015 11:24 am

I'm thinking about picking up a Guardian CG-044-OO Vintage Hardshell Case - do any of you know if this will fit the KMG 00-12?

http://www.amazon.com/Guardian-CG-044-O ... uitar+case

Or, do you have any other recommendations for a descent hard case for a 00-12?

thanks all
- Daniel

I just bought a Recording King for a 16.25" Harmony 1260 I am rebuilding. Took the git with me to the local Guitar Center. The advantage was double: 1) I could trial fit before buying since the 1260 is a little larger than the typical dred; and 2) it was $15 less expensive than Amazon charges for Recording King cases. SKB makes a good enough hard shell case too. They tend to be a bit less expensive than Recording King and Guardian cases.

Amazon will take back just about anything, so that's an option if it does not fit. But also a hassle and a expense and a potential restocking fee.

That's the one I'd get.

I purchased that Guardian CG-044-OO Vintage Hardshell Case and the the KMG 00-12 fits just fine. Its not nearly the same caliber as the TLK / Geib style cases that come with many Martins, but it will do the job.

Letting the fresh case air out for a few days before I store the guitar in it.
