Hard shell cases for the Fender Jaguar ???

Armchair Bronco · Post by **Armchair Bronco** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 12:47 am

I'm the proud owner of an Olympic White Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special HH, but I don't yet have a case for my new toy. Rule #1 around my home is: "No nice guitar will leave this house unless it's in a hard-shell case!"

I'm confused about whether there are cases made especially for the short-scale and/or offset body Fenders like Jags, Jazzmasters, and Mustangs. The Elderly website shows cases for "Jaguars/Jazzmasters" separate from "Stratocaster/Telecaster" cases, but on another site some folks were claiming that there's no difference.

Also, it seems like some Fender Jaguar cases are in short supply: Elderly is out of stock several models, with an ETA of 2-3 months before new ones come in.

What are my options for a nice case, and how much money is it gonna cost me?

i got an mf case about.... 6 years, fits my stang, and my old avri jag just fine.
and i have seen g&g jaguar cases for sale for less than 100 bucks.
which is a great deal!

you are going to run almost 200 for the "official" fender case

GandG makes a case that is branded with the fender logo, it runs about $180 or so and it is made to fit just jazzmasters and jagaurs.

the jaguar WILL NOT fit in a strat case

OK. It looks like 2 of the 3 Fender "Jaguar / Jazzmaster" cases are back in stock @ Elderly. Both are $139. That's not cheap, but they look like nice cases, and it's not like I have a ton of options.

So now the challenge is to pick the right color combination. Which one works best with Olympic White + red/brown Tortiseshell?

Brown Tolex w/ Gold Interior

Black Tolex w/ Orange Interior

Yep, the black Fender case with the crushed orangish/redish velvet lining is starting to grow on me.

Yeah...but does it have that cool Fender logo? How can I *represent* without the obligatory Fender logo?

its probly better if its a no name case.
otherwise you will have some cokknocker wanting to steal your fender case becuz they think there is an eric johnson strat inside of it.

If someone tries to steal my Fender case (which would be loaded up with my Fender Jaguar), he'll find out pretty quickly that in addition to guitars, I also like collecting guns!

Pitty the poor cokknocker who tries to pinch my gear: it'll be the first *AND* last time he does it...

You carry the gun around you?

No, I don't.

I'm primarily a home jammer, so if someone tried to steal my gear, he'd have to get into my house first. In Washington state, we don't yet have a codified "Castle Doctrine" like a lot of other states, but we do have a "Stand Your Ground" clause that's almost as good. Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

"Other states expressly relieve the home's occupants of any duty to retreat or announce their intent to use deadly force before they can be legally justified in doing so to defend themselves. Clauses that state this fact are called "Stand Your Ground", "Line In The Sand" or "No Duty To Retreat" clauses, and state exactly that; the shooter has no duty or other requirement to abandon a place in which he has a right to be, or to give up ground to an assailant."
