Location: 6 String Ranch | They were the regular brown cases with the color sparkles of that guitar, each -number had a different combination of color sparkles, mixed with clear and sprayed over the case. It was fairly subtle but that's why they came with a case cover, which was plain. |

Location: europe | and the last - were the sparkles sprayed over the case like on the gutiar - more outside less in the middle or all over the case in the same amount. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | They were just sprayed evenly with top sparkles except for the left handed cases which had a heavier bursting of spray around the handle area to hide the patch holes from where the handle was moved to the other side. |

Location: Atlanta, GA. | Beal, you said:
They were just sprayed evenly with top sparkles except for the left handed cases Why would there be right & left handed cases?
And did someone ask for them?
Just curious...
I always carry my guitars so that if the case were to open the lid of the case would hit my leg preventing the guitar from falling out. |

Location: Utah | These days I don't worry about a case opening up, but I am a bit OCD about making sure all the latches are done up. Back in the pre-car days, I used to ride my bicycle carrying a guitar virtually every day. To/from school, to/from friends' houses, etc. I never had a case open unexpectedly. One case, for the long-gone early 70's Strat, had less than secure latches, so I always used the key to lock the center latch. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Another reason for my preference for soft sided cases. . . there is much less likelihood of the zipper inadvertently coming undone and the contents falling out at a most inopportune time. You younger guys wouldn't understand, but live long enough and you will. |
