I actually bought a ProTec case that is really nice, sturdy...etc..., but the skylark's headstock was too big. I can't seem to find a gigbag that's tall enough for it. I don't want too much bigger, like a bass case either. Something it would be safe in, and the right size. I hope someone could help me out. thanks, Ivette http://corrientesmusic.com/ http://corrientesmusic.com/EVT_open.html davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3205 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 12, 2006 - 7:40 pm:    Personally, I'm not a fan of gig bags; but you might want to give Val a call at Alembic. I believe they have a vendor that custom makes bags for them. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 973 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, February 12, 2006 - 8:07 pm:    Ivette: You might want to double check the size, but Body Glove makes a new "hard-sided" gigbag that is VERY protective. My Electrum fits in it fine, as does any strat size guitar. Several discussions about gig bags have taken place around here. You might try a search.

If it helps, I just got out my tape measure. The interior length of mine is approximately 42 1/2 inches.

A very beautiful guitar. Regards, Jonathan evt Junior Username: evt Post Number: 13 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2006 - 8:01 am:    thanks Jonathan, I am still as happy today as I was when I first got it. It's an excellent guitar. It always sounds good live, and in recordings as well.

It looks like they are available from Body Glove, but it would be nice to get a little off from retail. Thanks, Edwin lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 979 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2006 - 4:42 pm:    I got mine from samash.com. $129.95 and, IIRC, free shipping. Bill, tgo evt Junior Username: evt Post Number: 14 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2006 - 4:52 pm:    I found it at Samash online, but it wasn't in stock. And, the only other store that had it was Bananas at large, but they had a problem with their shopping cart. So, I ended up buying it through an ebay store. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7355694677 I saw that they had very good reputation/feedback. I ordered it today, and I already got the tracking number, so I'm thinking it will work out well. My total cost including shipping ended up at $137.94. evt edwin Intermediate Member Username: edwin Post Number: 132 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2006 - 5:09 pm:    Where did you folks get these?

They're very nice, and the Skylark sounds great. Well done - keep on truckin'. =) Tom evt Junior Username: evt Post Number: 15 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, February 17, 2006 - 3:57 am:    Thanks for checking out the site and music Tom. :o) Ivette http://corrientesmusic.com/ http://corrientesmusic.com/EVT_open.htm mpisanek Intermediate Member Username: mpisanek Post Number: 154 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Friday, February 17, 2006 - 6:33 am:    Edwin: I got mine from Mannys' in NYC.
