Hard case for Taylor Big Baby

Hi there,

I'm asking this on behalf of a mate... he's looking for (and bidding on) a Taylor Big Baby on eBay. The one he has his eye on comes with a soft case, but my mate would like a proper hard case for it. Any recommendations for cases that will fit? The Big Baby is a travel guitar, and therefore I'd have thought that the majority of acoustic cases would be too big...

Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

Kind regards,

Rich

The case for a small classical may do, with the judicious use of a few foam blocks

My Acoustic is very small bodied and I use a Hiscox classical guitar case. Fine for everyday use but needs a little extra foam if it's travelling in the back of a van.

The more expensive Artist range cases have some different size options too.

A normal Hiscox with a travel guitar (or a mandola in my case) leaves plenty of room for extra socks and undercrackers when travelling, which I assume is the point of the exercise. I can then travel with a pilot case and my mascara and lippy flightcase.
