Wow these are thick cases. I bet you could make them out of 1/4" pressboard and be much lighter.

I wouldnt mind trying a case or 2 , except most of the cases I've seen built look like they may be very heavy.
I wonder what types of material would work and still make the case much lighter in weight.

I have not built a case yet, but will soon. I got lucky and found a Marting Backpacker guitar gig bag at a local music store for $10.00. It works great!! Will do some looking around for another deal like this..

Thanks Colin, it's a start. I've seen photos of some beauties that had maps and sheet music pasted to the inside as liners but this site is so big now I can't find them.

For me it's all about cardboard, corrugated cardboard and hot glue. You wouldnt want to send this ala the airlines, but it works for me.
