Which hard case will fit an Eastman 515 with Tone Guard?

[Laird]

Hi, all. I know this has been discussed before, and I've read through the various threads--but I haven't come away from them with a definitive answer. So, I'm trying a new thread because I'll have to order a hard case online, and I'd like some confidence that whatever I order will fit my MD 515 with the Tone Guard attached. (In the past threads, it seems that every time someone says it works fine for theirs, someone else says, nope, mine didn't fit.)

Your recommendations will be much appreciated!

The Calton and Hoffee cases will each fit a mandolin with ToneGard, but you might not want such an expensive case for a budget Eastman! The Golden Gate (Saga) and Eastman fiberglass hard cases also work.

TKL fitted rectangular case fit mine when I had one.

TKL Zero Gravity (which is semi-hard + backpackable) and Heirloom both work with tone guards! the Zero Gravity is cheaper but still has really good protection (it's light so if you drop it theres less risk of the mando cracking) and has held up well for me!

Guardian makes a nice inexpensive case tha acommodates an A or F model.... mine fits my F5 with a Tone Guard and McClung arm rest very nicely.... lots of storage is a plus as well.

I had my A style MD 505 in its stock Eastman case and it was fine.
