Hey everyone. I'm trying to find a 3/4 size electric guitar case that would fit a strat. I just bought a Johnson 3/4 size strat for my 9 year old who has showed an interest in learning guitar in the last couple of months. He's been playing a little gut-string but has been begging for an electric. The Johnson is quite impressive for the price - $99.00! It's set up just like a strat - 3 pick-ups; 5 position switch; even a whammy bar! And it is actually quite playable! (I haven't plugged it into my boogie yet or the SF-2 - that should be interesting). Anyway, my son would love a hardshell case so he can put stickers on it (just like the old man). Unfortunately, all I've been able to find is a gig bag. If anyone knows where I can find a hardshell case, it would be very much appreciated. Happy Channakwanzamas to all. Bill, tgo

Paul, it's a combination holiday greeting, Channuka, Kwanzaa, & Christmas. One of those tongue-in-cheek, politically correct American things. Sam (Message edited by bracheen on December 12, 2004) |

Paul, Channuka is the multi-day Jewish celebration, Kwanzaa is a similar African holiday. They all occur in December. Mike |

Paul; here is an article about Channuka. I don't know anything about the author or anything about the website where I found it. I am not a student of Judaism and can not thus vouch for the accuracy of the article. It was the first article I came across and it seemed like a good place to start. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41728 And here is an article about Kwanzaa. Again, this is a subject about which I am no authority. http://www.cnn.com/EVENTS/1996/kwanzaa/history.html |

Bill, I ran a search for a 3/4 case but found nothing that looked helpful. |

I would guess your best bet would be to see if you can get a shotgun/rifle case in the right size and cut a foam block to the right shape for the inside. |

ibpesq try calling Manny's in New York City. They're on W.48th Street in Manhattan. If anyone has that size case, they do or can tell you where to get one. |
