Hard-shell case for a Jazzmaster?

[Jacco]

Hi all,

Question to Jazzmaster owners with a hard-shell case. The gig bag I used to carry my Jazzmaster in is starting to fall apart, so I'm looking for something new. Preferably a hard-shell case. However, as the Jazzmaster is a little bigger than the usual, what case would fit? Bonus points for when it's not too expensive and easily acquired in the EU!

Thanks so much!

Oh I thought you meant bigger than the usual JM I recommend an SKB Jag/Jazz case.

The best Jazzmster case I've seen so far is the SKB case : http://www.keymusic.com/item/skb-1skb-6 ... hell-case/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks all for your input! The SKB case looks like a great case indeed! Unfortunately my Jazzmaster is a lefty, so I contour fit won't work. Or can the interior be changed?
I did come across this case: https://www.thomann.de/nl/gator_gcelecx ... c_case.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Would anybody have experience with this one? I am not sure whether the body will fit..

Thanks!

I've heard that Hiscox cases are really good but I was unable to get one for a reasonable price in the USA. They are made in the UK so you might have better luck:

I ended up with an SKB case, which is very good quality. The only downside it that it is heavy. The Hiscox are lighter.

Hiscox cases are fantastic. I have one for my vintage Martin D-18. A little pricey but definitely road-worthy.

Gator cases for Jaguar/Jazzmaster.

And this is a heavy one Gator Electric Guitar Road Case. It also says that the Gator Electric Guitar Case fits Jazzmaster.
I'm not sure but is not a Jazzmasters overall lenght 41 inches? Then I'm sceptical about all exept the first Jaguar Case, even if the Gator page says it is a fit.
