Anyone seen a Calton case for an OM floating around out there?
Thanks!

Mine, mint, might float. Let me see if I have a shipping box. I believe the last one here sold for 750 in a day. Let me see if I can a)ask myself if I want to sell it without having used it; and b)if I have a proper carton in which to ship it. thanks tom p.s. hey, wait a minute. If I'm not missing something, and I probably am, in your whole long impressive list of guitars I don't see an OM? Cart/horse thing? Not germane, I know. tom

yep cart before the horse...any pics of the case? colors? have one more collings to check out before I decide if I go OM or not. Thanks!

No pics, but I could get 'em if you're interested. Like my CJ case, it's dove gray or whatever they call it. Nice, clean, low key, not flashy, and doesn't say "expensive guitar in here, please steal" if you happen to get momentarily separated in transit. Unlike black, it doesn't absorb heat. the interior is rich burgundy. Very pretty. But I want the exterior to be "witness protection" bland, and not a color that stands out in a crowd. Then again, on the 25 or so flights we've taken since 9/11, my Calton has been the only travel cased guitar on each flight. Some folks who were "feeling lucky" as Dirty Harry put it, shipped their regular cases. Hey, kindling is expensive any more. thanks tom p.s. and who says you have to have the horse first? Horse breeders? tm

Horse breeders must put the horse before the horse . . .

When I'm looking to steal a case, i prefer the bright Calton colors with tons of stickers all over. I want people to notice me walking out of the airport and the color is great for getting attention and making sure I make it on the survelliance videos.

It's good to have a second career, Kenny. good for you. Now, Vinnie: the case ain't goin' nowhere, and neither am I. So, if you get an OM and are still interested, pull my chain. arf. thanks tom

Sonoman,
I have an OM-2HG Cut SS SB that I am expecting delivery on in October. If Vinnie passes, I would be interested.

Stephen: consider yourself in first backup position. I have no real need for the case, and thus will very likely still want to sell. It's a great case in virtually perfect condition, and I have a CJ case. Less money, less need or ability to travel, and so one travel case will do me. I'l watch to see what happens. I do know you'll love that guitar- german with a short scale and a burst. wow. You're in store for a real treat; I've owned a couple short scale OM's and liked them so much I incorporated that scale length on the CJ for which I am still waiting. And waiting. thanks tom

Tom, that sounds good. I will let you know when my OM comes in and hopefully it will be available. Thanks!

you're welcome. it's in the garage, waiting (and appreciating in value. Wish the rest of the crappola in the garage were appreciating in value. Fat chance. I'll check back here from time to time. thanks for your interest. tom
