  • Y2KV replacement cases?

    Anyone know of a case that'll fit a Y2KV? I cracked my molded case! You'd think I would know where to get one, but, I don't!

    Thanks!

    Cracked a molded case? WTF? Bungie jumping?

    Sorry, you gotta get in touch with G&G or SKB - maybe have one ordered through the CS?

    Mustaine might have one he'd sell ya

      I would like to know as well. I was told the KV case would fit but it doesn't. Right now I have mine in a huge coffin case. I would love to get a better case for it.

        You can talk to Cedar Creek custom cases (TKL's custom division). They make nice cases, but it is going to cost about $200.00. They do great work from CAD models (could be a problem for you Jack, I don't know if McD can send the CAD files for the Y2KV). The only other case I can think of is the Gator Extreme. Its about $140.00 and comes with a bunch of different velcro configurable cushions to fit any style guitar. Its kind of hoaky, but works.

        Easiest thing to do would be to re-introduce the Y2KV and then the cases would be available again.

          The foot/button area cracked and caved in. I treated it like a case for too long, maybe? Anyway, it's not air tight and it's my Y2KV so I can't have that now can I?

              Don't you guys still have the case specs? Maybe get some wrapping/craft paper on a roll and trace the guitar, then send that to SKB?

                I have a similar problem with one of my WR1 cases. I just bought another WR1. Any excuse to get myself another guitar

                  That makes sense. Jackson doesn't make their own cases in house do they? Unless, Jackson notified their case makers no Y2KV cases are to be made EVER again. Damn, kind of shot yourself in the foot now didn't ya!!!!

                    Anyone else need one? If I end up custom ordering a couple, maybe I'll order a few more.

                      How hard can it really be?
                      Hamer makes a roundhorn flying V. US Masters does, Dean does. Why can't Jackson?

                      I'd love to understand the problem.

                        I'd imagine it has something to do with the no Gibson shapes and the fact Jackson is owned by Fender. Not sure though, guess we'll have to wait until McD clarifys

                          McD and Mr. Napalm,
                          Assuming that the inside foam/plush lining wasn't destroyed by the damage on the outside, can't you just take a KV2 case and swap out the linings? I believe the cases are the same size. I think that stuff is just hot glued in - should be able to pry it out with little damage.

                              Yeah, But so is Hamer.
                              Just make it a ding dang CS option and be done with it.
                              Never understood how this became such a problem regarding two common shapes already. (explorer also)

                              If It's a Mustaine problem, throw him a sawbuck and tell him to fuck off already. He didn't create the roundhorn V.
