Location: Rochester, NY | Need some advice. What hardshell case to choose for deep bowl 12 string Ovation Elite 1758. There are two models: 8158 molded case for deep contours, mid-depths or 9158 deluxe molded case. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | The 8158 is more period correct but as Al says, both work well and the 9158 has the cool Ovation Logo on the inside lid... |

Location: Rochester, NY | Ok,I see the difference now.But Is it possible that one of these cases won't fit deep bowl Elite 1758 that was made at the begining of 90s? I heard that old deep bowl bodies differs from present deep bowls made by Ovation.... |

I'm planning to travel with the guitar by air. Does zero gravity case better than hardshell for air flights? |
