Guitar case for nationals

[ken1953clark]

Hi, I've been looking for a case for my style 0 and other similar sized guitars but most of the Classic sized cases out there are too large internally, the guitar flops around inside.

Then I found this...

No affiliation

Fits my 12 fretters like a glove, wood framed but lightweight too. I'm happy with mine. I know it wouldn't survive the baggage handlers but it'll do for driving around.

Email me if you want photos.

They are in different sizes, Dreadnought etc so make sure you get the right one if interested, in this case Classical/folk

Looks good.

I use Reunion Blues RBX -E1, or RBX Oxford. These are for electric guitars and hold 12 fret Nationals too. I'm sure you've seen mine many times!

Hi there !

The classical guitar cases I've ever tried might fit the guitar body alright (in shape) BUT the cases have been too deep, for the deeper bodied classical/Spanish guitars (compared to Nationals).
I found the case's neck support is too tall - so the National's neck rests on it way before the back of the guitar body sits fully into the case - and then the headstock sticks up too far. IF the case lid closes, it's a bet the headstock is jammed up against the inside of the lid - and this poses a very real chance the headstock or even the neck at the heel could be broken, with not too hard a knock to the case.

I use the classical guitar hard case. I put a small towel under the upper bout to make the whole body sit tight.

Neck support reduced by 3/4" this afternoon, lays properly now
