Hi folks,
I have been reading your forum quite a bit over the past few months. I'm a 37 year guitar player who has been dabbling (badly) with mandolin on and off for the past 15 years or so. Mandolin 1 is a no name A style that appears to be an unbranded Rogue. I know, awful, but it helped me learn some things and to decide I wanted to continue. And I learned how to set up and intonate a mando on it.
Someday I hope to have a nicer F style classic type wood mandolin, but in the meantime...
I wanted something with electronics that wasn't expensive. And I bought a Crafter M80E (I think). I received it yesterday and am very much enjoying it. It has a bubinga top and several small sound holes like an Ovation. Also the composite bowl back. I do have an Ovation guitar and have always enjoyed it, especially amplified.
And now we come to my question that I am hoping Ovation owners can help me with. Neither Crafter nor Tyler Mountain make cases for these Crafter mandolins anymore. I have no idea if this will fit in the Ovation case or not because I can't find any dimensions for the Ovation mandolin, nor the inside of the case. I am hoping a kind person here can help me with the dimensions I would need to know. I am thinking I need:
1. Both lower and upper bout widths
2. Length of body
3. Waist (between bouts) width
4. Length from bottom to middle of waist
5. Overall length
If the case can't fit then I think my options are to either make a case for it, or to find a used Ovation case that I don't mind reworking.
