    That. Is. BRILLIANT news
    As for jealous? Course not I got one myself, and it's probably (whisper) my favourite instrument; but happy I/we could help!

    O/T
    Our band has a new PA which I co-invested in (Yamaha DXR12s for mains)... and we put the buch straight into the desk this weekend for the first time (headway HE4 pickup) and ... HOLY C*&P it sounded HUGE....

    Well I'll be darned, thanks Roger! I thought I didn't hear any of the 12-string guitar sound I get out of the bottom courses of my TC!

    Garry I can't say enough about headway pickups. It is SOOOOOO matched to the zouk....
    Just over budget... but....

    You'll have to get it installed properly though!
    ps luthiers such as Paul Shippey, Phil Davidson, Paul Hathway all recommend them or install them from new... it's not just me...

    Hardcases. Many answers... Mine's in a softcase (erk!). Hiscox are reasonable & strong.

    But come with crappy locks. Absolutely nobody I know can cut a spare key for mine, which sometimes locks... and sometimes doesn’t… and then locks and sometimes won’t open when I’m trying to set up for a performance…

    Hiscox Liteflite; it came with my Avalon acoustic. Lufthansa managed to make a huge dent in it last year… but the guitar survived.
