Hey boys. Need some advice. I have an RR3 I just bought (just about stole from Music Go Round cause they thought it was an RX10 and priced it way low, but that's another story) I am looking for a case for my Rhoads but I HATE those new V cases. Ugly as sin. Want a classic Jackson/ Charvel case. I have been on ebay looking as well but nothing in the old style. I did, however, find an older case on the Music Go Round site. It is for the Dinky/ Soloist though. I wasn't sure if it was big enough to accommodate my Rhoads? Obviously I would make some adjustments to the foam. (cutting etc) Anyone done this before? Anyone know the dimensions of the Dinky/ Soloist cases? Anyone have an old Rhoads case they wanna sell? Any help would be appreciated. I love my newest addition to my Jackson/ Charvel family but hate to see it get chipped up in a cheap ESP gig bag that barely fits....

I don't have my Soloist case in front of me, but am 99.9% sure there is no way an RR would come even close to fitting. The old style RR cases are huge and not that great IMO. I haven't had one of the newer style RR cases, but they are smaller and seem like they are made better. Yeah, they look a little weird, but as long as they protect the guitar and are smaller, I personally wouldn't care.

The foam in my older style SKB Soloist case, 2008 model, measures 14 inches wide x 40 3/4 long. My new SKB Soloist case, with the molded contours on the outside, is 14 1/8 inches wide x 42 long inside.96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

by the new ones do you mean the large rectangle that fits a kelly, warrior, king V, and rhoads? they look almost just like the old ones that have the circle j/c logo except they have an oval metal badge that says jackson. i think those are great cases. if you mean the ones shaped like a V, yeah those are ugly but save alot of space.
you could get a king v, warrior, or kelly case and redo the foam, but id say look for one of the multifit cases
check with local guitar shops. i just bought an rrxt the other day off some guy on craigslist. went straight to this lil local music store and asked if they had a used rhoads case. they did. $45 out the door. sometimes shops take in a js series with a case but sell the guitar without it.
could also check pawn shopsLast edited by jdr94; 05-21-2014, 03:29 PM.
