    Default My New GWW F-5 Case

    I just received a very nice GWW case.After tracking these via the Ellis mandolin company I ordered one.It took 12 weeks but worth the wait.It is a great Loar-Style case and competes with anything being sold today.I recommend them to all my fellow mandolin players!

    GWW don't list a mandolin case on their website. http://www.gwwcases.com/ Was it a custom order,& if it was,how did you go about ordering one & what was the price ?,

    It was a custom order.You can talk with Nancy in the custom shop(866-669-8932) and she will take care of you.The case can be made with several color schemes as I originally ordered the gator exterior with vintage green,however changed to the blue interior at the last minute."Top quality case"!

    I had a GWWloar style case with the vintage green interior, it was an excellent case.

    I've got an older model with red interior and it is a very fine case. Does yours have a slight arch to the top or is it flat? Hard to tell from the pic. Mine is flat and I think a slight arch would make this the go-to rectangular case.

    TKL rectangular cases have an arched top. My own TKL 'American Vintage' case bought 9 years back from First Quality, has added plies to the top,making it a very strong case indeed,
