just sold mine. it's nearly long enough to take a Precision Bass - which means additional weight and space to carry. Their softcases for Jazzmaster are awesome, but not really beautiful.

If you want Tweed you could get what I've got:

Kinsman TWDE5 - £50 ish

Be aware it does fit a jag but it's snug.... the foam where the top horn lies especially. Pretty much a strap button too big.

After a while the foam itself will soften and take shape, and it'll probably slip in and out no probs.

light weight, compact, stable enough to throw around in the band truck.

Just orderd a Hiscox Jaguar case in the UK.The crazy thing is, that even with shipping i pay 50,- Euro less than here in Germany....So it´s still half the price of a Fender Case.

Today it arrived and i have to say it´s solid as a rock! Best ever! Of course, the Fender Brown Tolex looks maybe better, but for half the money of a Fender i got the Hiscox....

Hiscox cases are awesome, I have a couple and I have yet to find a better case.
I was good friends with Mr Hiscox's step son in secondary school in Stafford and used to go round to his house all the time...he always had lots of nice guitars lying around - wish I had been able to appreciate them!

Don´t know those ones, but a Jaguar fits perfect in any regular Fender gigbag...
