juju.
Some simple cases I made for the 'Twins'.
8mm ply with some nylon fur inside with some foam under that.
Holds guitars without any movement and the fittings (hinges,handle etc.) didn't cost a lot.

Hope this helps.

I had forgotten about this thread. Hogs- that looks good! I was deciding on how to do a neck rest. I think thin wood that I can cut with a xacto knife might work. That might be easier to handle?? How did you carve that divot? Gary that is a cool amp case you have there. Does it ever rattle itself over from blasting it! Just kidding.
I found an old chemical shipping box in my parents basement that is the perfect size for my bar. uke size git. I do not have a good digital camera anymore so no photos.
I built mine about 1.5 months back. Was my first and got the materials from a bookcase that was thrown away by a church. Very sturdy, but not a handsome one. Does it's job. I will be making another and will try some different ideas.
