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!
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.
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.
Good start, looks miles better!
What I'll add is with regards to your contact details, see about making that a button that would open a form where people can message you or get the phone number...

Christian, In your video you said you learned these techniques from the "original sources" and applied them to jazz standards. To what sources are you referring?

It's obviously, a personal choice.
Position 4 works for me, there's no interference with my fretting hand, but I rarely venture above the 14th fret. In my experience the 'strap around the...
I have a gretsch rat rod. I don't like the weight of it. I also almost never use the bigsby. I'm a little nitpicky about the 22 frets too. I feel like 20 frets might be closer to the sound I'm...
I have considered one. I don't like the fret access on them. I have also considered the coupe version, but they may not be loud enough acoustically. The washburn had a great acoustic sound, but...
