UTE case question

Beach RPh Posted 2013-02-23 3:49 PM (#465720) Subject: UTE case question Joined: October 2012 Posts: 41 Location: Vancouver, WA Just purchased a UTE and it will be shipped to me soon. But, it does not have a case. The guitar shop that checked it out will order me a case to put it in prior to shipping it to me. Is there a particular case I should order, or are any of the Ovation cases good enough for the guitar to be shipped to me in? I am sure the hard shell cases are the best bet, but wanted to ask anyway.

Get the more luxurious one, it has a softer handle (your hand will thank you) and is nicer. The other one will offer the same protection Koenig Kurt Posted 2013-02-23 5:25 PM (#465724 - in reply to #465720) Subject: Re: UTE case question Joined: April 2006 Posts: 848 Location: Munich, Germany The number for the deluxe case is TKL 9158: Koenig Kurt Posted 2013-02-23 5:29 PM (#465725 - in reply to #465720) Subject: Re: UTE case question Joined: April 2006 Posts: 848 Location: Munich, Germany Tried it - the regular 9158 doesn't fit the twelve frets to the body. There must have been a special case for the UTE, but I don't have it here to check.

Answer: That's foam, where the neck lies on, and can be formed to fit.
