    Yeah, I can get a ChromaCast case on Amazon for $55 with free shipping. ABS is only a little more. Financially it's probably close to a wash--at best.

    I am not convinced there are Eko collectors. I checked on Reverb and Ebay... You can find cases for sale occasionally, but I haven't seen any that actually sold. Some of the wilder, pristine Ekos guitars go for up to a grand, but most are in the $400 range. I am not sure whether I have ever actually seen a genuine Eko. I think I may have seen a Vox or two made in their factory. I am a little surprised there isn't more enthusiasm for them...but then I have no direct experience with them so what do I know?

    I do like the idea of having a unique case. Just not sure how much time and effort I really want to spend on it. That said, I know I have some spray adhesive around here somewhere...

    Bound to be at least one or two... But does the number of Eko collectors exceed the number of Eko instruments appearing out of lofts and dark corners?

    Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
