Access Stage 3 or any number of rectangular cases should do the trick.

Does it come with faux-leopard skin lining?

[mrmando]

I'm sure something could be arranged.

I had a tenor guitar case custom built with faux-Holstein lining, so anything's possible.

sweetness. thanks for the link. looks like it fits but doesnt quite fit the budget right now. $130 for a case? thats more than i paid for a gator case for my SG!! someday........

What are the interior dimensions of an Access Stage 3? I need a case for an electric.

Looks like about 27" long max.? My mandolin is 28-1/2" long x 10" wide x 2-1/4" high.

There is a removable pad at the end where the headstock is that makes it a little longer. I will have to measure mine.

They are 9.75" wide, 27.50" long and 2.5" deep. Obviously, you could put a 10" wide instrument in one and it will fit snugly. The body compartment is 14" long. I put a 1' thick piece of foam covered with the same material in the bottom to hold the mandolin level since the body is thinner than an acoustic for which the case was made. On occasion, I'll also install a strap to hold the neck down but it really isn't necessary. I've also made a false compartment under the body to store books and other large items. Access was providing some filler pieces for a couple bucks a piece but its cheaper to make my own.
