    I need a case for a 16" L50 (below). What fits? The ones that say "archtop" usually have nothing to do with this. Does anyone know any cases made for archtops (not too expensive, the guitar isn't fancy)? Or in lieu of an actual archtop case does anyone know what would fit? Dreadnought case?

    If you can find a TKL 8816, I think that one should work.

    The "16" suffix is for a 16" archtop ala an ES-175.
    The 8816 is the regular level, and the 8916 is nicer.

    To that end, any case listing a 175 should work for your L-50 (I don't remember if that's an L-50 or a Black Special or whatever, but I'll bet that TK Smith pickup sounds great!).

    I just bought a hard case my my D'Angelico EXP-! from guitar Center for 120.00. My guitar is a 16" archtop and it fits slightly snug but in a good way. The case says D'Angelico on it if that matters.

    8816 is too fancy for this guitar, lol. I ordered a B-stock Dangelico case from Sweetwater.

    And yes Jonathan it sounds sweet. Here's a shitty recording of it. It sounds like a marshmallow dipped in a cloud.
