shipping hardcases are substantially more expensive than gig bags.

You can contact Roadcase

They are based in Msia

They do custom job as well.

If you find that its much cheaper having it delivered to an address in johor bahru, let me know.

Maybe I can help you somehow.

Hey man thanks will contact you if i do need your help.

hey guys after much thought and info digested i think it will be cheaper for me to buy a harcase and get foam and cut to my needs. what do you guys think ? what do i need to cut foam and all ?

Think of modding the harcase to have wheels etc etc

Why would you need a custom case anyway?
Most guitar shapes have hardcases for them if you look hard enough.

Whats the guitar you intending to have cased?

Hmm for exotic shape guitars i guess most wouldnt like the idea of bringing a hardcase around.

Even the ESP padded bags dont look too secure to some ( Myself included ).

When i owned a V i had a custom shape V bag specifically made for that purpose.

Probably the same reason as the TS

I think you can get "generic" hardcases that can fit odd shaped guitars.

You'll just need to look.

SKB has dedicated flying V and explorer/firebird hardcases.

You can also find generic hardcases like those meant for fender jaguars or jazzmasters. Those have longer bodies and thus can accommodate odd shaped guitars.

Hmm bro i meant padded bags. I think most of us arent keen on hardcases. I myself only favour it if it houses a lespaul shaped guitar

SKB has padded softcases for the mentioned guitar shapes as well.

Here's an example:

If offers much greater protection than just a standard gig bag, and its much lighter than a hardshellcase.
