    Love the look of Paul Carrack's Case guitar. Most of those guitars look brilliant.
    That's the one that sparked my interest too. Beautiful that is.

    I'd like to do an es type one day but can't be arsed getting into laminates, I have seen one guy on you tube doing it with a vacuum bag over a carved top and bottom plate

    Someone tried doing this at college years ago and it didn't really work, it's not that easy.

    The hollow arch top ‘V’ is both bonkers and a thing of consummate grace and beauty. I’m sure it’s a great guitar too, but I’d happily pay a lot of money for one of those just to look at it now and again…


    Don't ask me, I just play the damned thing...

    Some very nice guitars on this thread, although I'm not particularly an ES enthusiast.  I always forget Case guitars exist, but when something reminds me and I look at their site, I really like what they do.

    Slight thread derail, but I'd never heard of Case Guitars either. This offset take on a thinline tele looks awesome!

    @mburekenge ;;;, does it need to be custom built? High-end Tokais and Eastmans are lovely guitars. or if you've got £££ to splash, just get a Collings and be done with it. Each of these options would enable you to try before you buy, which is always a risk with custom guitars.

    I’ve heard Ian Elson is looking to do a similar model, called a 3+3=9.

    John has a couple for sale right now. That J25 is lush.

    Ooofff really tempted by the Juniors - can’t believe I can get a Case LPJ for less than the price of that ridiculous custom I returned last month!
