Case for GR-1SF

Not sure where this one should go, so posted in this forum... if the mods feel it belongs elsewhere, please feel free to move it.

Anyway, since buying my GR-1SF kit I've been looking on and off for a case. I checked here a few times, a few have asked the same question, where to get a case that fits the GR-1SF, but no real answer. Shame PBG doesn't stock one (hint, hint Adam/DB).

So I found one - from Artist Guitars in Sydney, their JC500BR, the "BR" standing for the glorious pooh-brown colour. Still, as it's the only one I've found that comes close (in Australia), the colour doesn't really matter. It arrived today after they sent the wrong one and I had to return it. Second time lucky. Overall, I am pleased with the quality. Some pics below:

Closed, it has a nice textured finish and a rounded top to accommodate an archtop. Not sure how long the "gold" plating will last, but again, not bothered as long as it protects its contents:

Attachment 21105

Open, nice pooh-brown fur inside:

Attachment 21106

With body and neck, fits width- and length-wise with room to spare:

Attachment 21107

and finally:

Attachment 21108

This last one, I've propped the body up underneath to bring it up to the level it would be if the neck is attached properly. I wanted to see if the lid would still close with the Figsby unit in place. It does in this case, although I can't be really sure until it's finished and strung. But 95% sure it will be ok.

Here's a link to the case on Artist's website, exact measurements are there as well:
