Re: Tweed Cases. Really don't need one, but...
I think they look nice... but I have found they are not as resilient as most other cases externally. If you get anything spilled on them they are hard work to get stains off. I have one that a custom Martin came in, and somehow it picked up some oil/grease from being carried in the back of a truck. That would be no problem with a fiberglass or ABS case, and I think would probably have come off a typical 'Tolex' black case too, but even using all kinds of carpet and fabric cleaners I was not able to remove all traces from the Tweed. There was also some fraying that started around the edges... although this had the CF Martin plate, it was actually made by TKL.
