    Default Peg case in the Classifieds

    Somebody buy this thing and take away the temptation for me. Every time I look and it's still there I feel an itch in my trigger finger. The only financial interest I have in this thing is wanting to own it because it's damned cool.

    Hah. I understand. I have one and I want another one. I already have that color. There was a tangerine one a couple years ago. It was gone in 20 minutes and not to me!

    I keep thinking "I could sell my Calton and get a good chunk of the money". It's dangerous.

    Pegs are great, love mine. You should buy it. I'm not helping, am I?

    I have a Calton that I'd sell to get another Peg. It's kind of a fetish, I guess.

    Pegasus cases are great.

    My F-style Peg is Daffodil yellow;the A-style is Tangerine.

    Sam's cases,apart from being very protective,have...personality. Cool lines. More ergonomic too.

    It's gone. Thankfully I was able to control myself.

    Well, you know you can just email Sam and order one, right?

    With your favorite color on the outside, and some interesting options for the interior fabric? It's still one of the best options out there for a high-end case that doesn't look like everyone else's. Sell that Calton and bite the bullet for the balance.

    It's an art form when done right.

    Oh,and Sam Gifford is one of the coolest/nicest people on the planet. And he plays mandolin! (F4-style Red Diamond IIRC)

    Yep. Something about those Pegasus cases that just feels right.

    Now I'm trying to decide what color for the next one. Ihave kept both of my Pegs in case covers,so,even after many years they still look new.

    Been wanting to locate one of those artists who paint the ice hockey goalies' masks to do something on one of the Pegs. (Yep,I have gone over the edge.)
