Firstly, yes, I have researched the forum history and, while I can piece together an answer to my question, I’d feel a lot better if I can can get a confirmation for my specific instance.
I bought my first mandolin recently. It’s a Collings MF Deluxe to which I’ve added a strap (around the scroll) and a Tone Guard. I’ll probably add an armrest at some point.
The Collings TKL case might handle just the Tone Guard but the strap pushes the fit just a bit too far for my comfort level.
I’ve read there’s a Gator foam bag that will accommodate the Tone Guard as will a Travelite case. But, will they fit both the Tone Guard and a leather strap? Is there a better option?
I’m sure there are many in here that have found a solution to my specific situation and I look forward to your advice. Thanks.
