12 String case

Blackjack

Can anybody please help me? I am wanting, preferably, a hard case for my 12 string Dreadnought to protect it when I take it out but I am struggling to find one without paying a fortune.  If all else fails I would settle on a gig bag as long as it was a reasonable one.  I have got a gig bag for it but it only just fits into it and it is very tight at the headstock which is not ideal. Any ideas much appreciated.

My Martin 12-string lives in a Hiscox, but I don't know if that counts as 'paying a fortune'...

I have a man working on the case.

What price the protection for a loved instrument? Even a top of the range Hiscox has to be worth less than a repair job + the downgraded value + the emotional pain.

Thanks guys! I don’t term a Hiscox as a fortune as they are great cases. Spoke to my local Guitar shop today and they can order various ones in. Think I will carry on using the gig bag for a while and save up for a Hiscox.

Hope it doesn't take you too long. In the meantime, be careful

Stagg make a 12string hardcase.  Not too pricey.

My jazzbox lives in a Stagg case. tbh I don't think a Stagg case is much more protection than a gigbag. When I have the money for a Hiscox ...
