Re: mildew in case
Not sure the value of the guitar but I'd be reluctant to ever use the case again. A good hard shell case can be had for about a hundred bucks, a decent gig bag for less than half. Sometimes you're better off starting with something new. Sounds like your case is beyond rescue.
Also the equally important issue is where was this guitar and case being stored? I would think it was exposed to a lot of moisture over a good period of time. Obviously not good for your instruments, but can also be a health concern. Mildew, and its partner mold, are not to be taken lightly in your living environment. Not trying to raise this to a crisis but some proper circulation and a dehumidifier might be in order.
