Need Help Finding a Quality Case for a Yamaha SA 2200!!

[jazzfreak]

I recently purchased a Yamaha SA 2200 and to my dismay, discovered it didn't come with a hardshell case! The guitar shop was gracious enough to give me a case - a Gator. Unfortunately, it's defective, in that the top doesn't line-up properly with the bottom of the case.

I will be calling Yamaha, but they don't have listed anywhere on their website, a case for this guitar! So, I'm searching for other possibilities. I like the SKB, but it appears the inside dimensions are just a little large.

If anyone knows of a case that is a good fit - or better yet owns one and can share what you have - it would be much appreciated.

I keep my SA2200 in a Mono Vertigo semi-hollow case, but if you specifically want a hard case then just about any 335 case that you like should work. The shape is slightly different, but mostly only around the cutaways.

Thanks, Watson. I like the SKB but could be a little loose for the lower bout. If I measured the SA 2200 correctly, the lower bout is slightly less that 16 inches. Difficult to understand why Yamaha doesn't have a case. Hopefully, I can reach some one there. Been looking at the Mono's as well. Good to know it's an option. Thanks!

Yamaha SAF is the case for SA2200. I couldn't find an English page but here's a Japanese page. ヤマハ | SAF - ケース - 概要

My preferred hard cases are Hiscox. They are more protective than standard wood cases, weigh less, and offer more temperature protection.

Thanks guys. The SKB 1SKB-35 hopefully would work. Internal dimensions shows lower bout of 16in and upper bout of 11.5. I'll check with both SKB and Yamaha. Anyone on the forum actually using this SKB for the Yamaha SA 2200 and can confirm its a good fit?

I can confirm that there is a Yamaha hard case for an SA2200, as mine came with one - its a perfect fit and says Yamaha on the top ! The UK spec definitely includes a hard case, however, I can't find any references to a part number on the Yamaha site.

Just spoke with a CSR at Yamaha, and they're saying they'll have guitar rep call me.

Well, just ordered the SKB -35. Came across a thread on Gearpage with pictures and strong attestation from someone who owns an SA 2200, with him reporting it was a good fit

...this is the one I regret and miss most. It comes with a case, so where on earth has it disappeared? Is the guitar's line of ownership known, i.e. it hasn't been stolen at any point? Which year was it made? (Difficult to find out, coming from a Custom Shop in Japan, but I once managed.) The bridge and knobs are different from what I had.

I'm not sure how long the head is on the Yamaha models, but I needed a case for my Sheraton which will not fit right in a 335 case, but I found an Allen Eden tweed (naugabeast) over plywood case that fits my Sheraton and long head D'Angelico EX-DC.
