Question:
I've been looking around for a good compromise guitar to carry on business trips. Something I can play between dinner and bedtime in a hotel room -- not worried about entertaining. Heck, I've only been playing 8 months. So, I looked at and have elimnated the Washburn Rover and Martin Backpacker. Didn;t like the sound/balance. But, I found a lovely 3/4 size classical guitar at my local store for $69 used. But here's the rub -- I need a case for it. Would prefer a hard case because when booked on an Embraer RJ (small jet) ya gotta check at least one of your carry ons for below the plane. I can't risk my laptop so its going to be the axe. Any thoughts about finding a hard case for this guitar? I am very surpised not to be able to find one!

Answer:
Shouldn't be a problem in the least. SKB, TKL any of the usual case makers surely have a case to fit a 3/4 size CG. Contact them with the measurements of your guitar. A quick search shows SKB makes one to fit a Baby Taylor. The TKL model 3375 is a 3/4 size case for 50 bucks. But it's not hard shell. I wouldn't use it for flying. Expect to pay more for the case than the guitar.
