Guitar case to fit dc Junior? Where to buy?

sawyer

Having a job to find a new vintage style case for a double cut Junior?  It fits in my 80's chainsaw les paul case perfect but has no support under body in my 2003 les paul case. So I suspect its not a case of just ordering a les paul case. The DC cases you see advertised seem as though they fit a SG's. Gear4music do a couple of decent looking own brand cases as do Gator. Anyone had any sucess hetting a case to fit a Junior without padding or modifying?

There's a theme here

There is indeed. Now gear4music do a cool crocodile one shown with an SG in it. Are we thinking this will fit? Hiscox from Feline? Expensive like?

I've got my dc junior in a gibson les paul light case which i got from andertons.
Its a perfect fit and supports the body properly unlike a normal les paul case.

sawyer

Cool. What make is it? Thanks.

It's 59 gibson dc junior.
 Just looked on andertons site and they still have them in stock.

I have Hiscox Sg and LP cases in stock.
A little (£100) expensive maybe but best in their class and not heavy.

Thanks Feline. I'll have a look on your site. Which would fit a 58 style double cut(non SG)? Like I say my newer Les Paul case is too deep. Do they fit in SG case better? Cheers

Another vote for hiscox, I have a 59 Jnr in one and it fits perfectly

FWIW, I use a Gator LP case for my Melody Maker Special.  I put a bit of extra padding under the body, but it wasn't a big job.  I think a MM is even thinner than a LP Junior isn't it?  So you shouldn't need much padding for the Junior.

I have a nice thin Gator LP case that I could offer for £40 plus a bit for post if you're not local? Pretty sure it'd be reet.
