The Hiscox case might work, hopefully someone will chime in.
I have an old Oahu student model that I think sounds and plays well. They are inexpensive if you can find one, and are readily re-sellable. Lap steel is deceptively difficult, at least if you want to...
I have a 19" Manne electric and a 23.5" Weber Sage I. For electric, the short scale is very cool, though the G above the 7th fret requires a keen ear to play it close to in tune. Even disregarding...
I've seen many of the excellent suggestions above. I'll add 'Rising Low', gotta represent the low end!
So fantastic!
In that price range, I'd seriously consider the Morris listed in the classifieds.

Edit: D'oh, already mentioned in earlier posts!
Good deal indeed, with bag and (Hamer reminiscent) strap included. 21.4" scale should be pretty versatile.
If you plan to use effect pedals, the magnetic pickup may play better with them. Those El Reys seem pretty sweet to me, though I'm happy with my Mann (which has both magnetic and piezo).
Buy this guy's 25" bouzouki! I bought a Mann off him a couple years ago and have been tempted by this listing for a while. He's a member of MC as well. Nfi, just a great price.

Nice job, thanks! Sounds great and they really got the look right. Bummer about the ninth fret marker, but otherwise that thing is pretty sweet.
Mine's in a TKL A-style arched case and it fits extremely well, good support.
Nice! Enjoy your Yellowstone, I'm sure it will never let you down.
Ummm, well, YES I would!
I'd start slow and just sand down the gloss to see how that feels. No guarantee that the full speed neck will work better for you when you sweat. And you'd likely lose some stability, though perhaps...
I'd go Brekke, personally. My old Gallatin has his original design and my Sage flattop octave has one of his fixed bridges. They are, quite frankly, perfect in use and true works of art. The man...
If I was looking for a floor tuner, I'd go with a Sonic Research model. Their readout is super fast, accurate and intuitive. I've had the original bench model for many years.
The Ultimate GS100 was a great stand. I also modified one for mandolin and it's been perfect. But the last GS100 I bought a few months ago, is a total piece of cr@p! They loosened their tolerances...
Awesome! The Morris will be a joy to play and hear, no doubt.
I much prefer a mark at the 10th versus the 9th when tuned in fifths.
My two favorites are the HAO Sole Pressure for light, and the Smallsound/Bigsound Mini for heavier.
If you haven't already tried playing a longer scale octave, don't necessarily dismiss the option. The longer strings (my Weber is 23.5) ring very nicely. Either way you'll be stretching.
I have an older Gallatin F that I bought used here, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I still love it and don't really covet another (well, MAS is always knocking I suppose). Mine plays and sounds great - it's...
That would be perfect, grab it at that great price!
Hi Bruce. Just want to say that my '01 maple Gallatin F remains an absolutely wonderful instrument. Never fails to make me smile - thanks for that!
