How to build a multipurpose guitar case

[@Galacticgospel.]

Thank you I’m not very good with tools but I’ll be giving these a try and your instructions are very clear so I think it’ll work 😊

[@PG-ex3kl]

Between you and highline you got it covered, I’m going to build at least one! Thank you for sharing!

[@georgedavis319]

That's great if you have any questions just ask. have fun

@@georgedavis319 I will thank you!

[@LisaHarsh]

George please make more videos like this! I know now it maybe possible to make one myself. It looks great too. Thank you.

[@georgedavis319]

Thanks Lisa, I had the time and wanted to make a case for my GGBO so I thought why not put it on youtube.Im getting a little better with video and editing.

Beautiful case. My next project.❤

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

Good point about the the hinge screws, I was told a lock on a guitar case was pointless as a theft device.😂

[@georgedavis319]

Thank you for the comment, granted I don't want my guitar stolen but thats why I have insurance

[@jglid123]

Slick move having multiple forms for your guitars.

I’m also thinking of using a router after I separate the lid from the box, route a relief in the lid say 3/8” deep x 1/4” and route a lip on the box to match, or make the two separate and use a dado blade on my saw, allow 3/16 inch or less gap between to allow the fur to fill in. Thanks for giving me ideas. I’m not good at videoing.

[@stevereese6488]

I build a very similar case, I use the foam padding that comes in the box for the body and necks I use. For the compartment I use strap button instead of a finger hole. I either use faux fur from Joan fabric or hobby lobby. Hinges, corner pieces and latches I buy in bulk off Amazon. There is a product like bed liner that comes with a 4” roller. I may try to make some with that vinyl or faux leather and put a thin layer of upholstery padding underneath. I wish I had the wood working talent to build guitars from bare wood but I know my limitations lol. Good luck on the upcoming build, there are some wild looking guitars built like the guy that built a hollow body held apart with small toothpick size dowels. That was crazy.

Great job!

[@JaimeInmortal]

Very good 👌🏻

Thank you

It fits any guitar, any color as long as its black and a strat or telli, lol. Im building a case for my Dean Cadillac. I dont have a table saw so cutting it in half is gonna be tricky. Dont wanna use my jigsaw cause i think in the middle it will get "bouncy" and make an ugly cut that ill have to buy a plane to fix. I guess ill get a cheap circular saw and screw on a guild board if I can. You got any thoughts on that?

[@georgedavis319]

if you have a saw mill or lumber yard a lot of the time they will perform the service for you. otherwise find a friend that has a band saw or table saw. the other thing is just to build 2 separate boxes

Hola George saludos . Cuanto quedo pesando .solo el estuche . Y quería preguntarte si es un buen mercado el de los estuches para más que todo guitarras..

[@quars3528]

[@georgedavis319]

[@MrTravelerX]

Can you please put a link to the foam that you used to surround the guitar? I didn’t catch its name. Thanks in advance.

[@georgedavis319]

I realized that I didn't mention the foam until i post the video.I use Owens Corning rigid 2" thick foam you can get it in full or 1/2 sheets at your home center.You can also look at construction sites or homes being built and most of the time they will give it to you for free.Thank you for watching.

[@georgedavis319]

Sorry the foam is 1-1/2 thick
