My apologies if this question has been asked before (I couldn't find anything when I searched)
I just got a soloist with a non-recessed floyd (JT-6 actually) and I've noticed it doesn't quite fit in the case that came with it (not the original case, the previous owner/seller was very obliging in going out and buying a used SKB jackson/charvel case to ship the guitar in).
The tuners at the tip of the headstock and the tip of the headstock itself 'hits bottom' on the case and keeps the neck from sitting all the way down, so that the guitar is kinda resting on the tip of the headstock and somewhere back down on the body. I tried my SL-1 with a recessed floyd in the case and it fits fine, so I'm guess the difference is the neck angle difference between the recessed and non-recessed floyd. (the guitar was packed with some newspaper around the headstock in the case during shipping, it arrived in great shape)
Is this a problem/bad for the guitar? It kinda makes me nervous (and it seems if nothing else, it could put those couple tuners on the end out of tune, not that that would matter much with the locking nut..) Am I just being paranoid or should I look for a different case? (are there cases made specifically for recessed floyds?)
