Nice one Keith! I enjoyed the construction details and insights in that vid. I have recently replaced the catches (springs no longer effective)on a well used 16 year old Hiscox case (new ones, rivets and instructions supplied f.o.c. by Hiscox)- it's good to know that the inside ends of the new rivets I used to fix the new catches are biting up against metal rather than plastic.

See I really fancy one but in a different colour to the normal black . My 12 string is in a Gator which is pretty good and has an arched top, and the Sigma is just in a fake leather plywood job which looks nice but doesn't really fill you with confidence . I think I'd like either a cream or green one with Burgundy lining .

My main instrument is: probably needing new strings

See I quite like that Martin the Ivory is nice and I've got a sweater that colour of Blue . I'd prefer darkish Green or Burgundy though . Leo id like the Taran to go inside as well ;-) .

I've got an ivory coloured Hiscox (much better than cream ) which is funky AND groovy I asked for a green interior, but they could only provide this blinding electric blue!! Martin, I'm following you down the road of Ivory. Just can't resist going against the norm...
