I was having no luck finding a gig bag for my Washburn Bowl Back and then accidentally found one! In Spain. The downside is they don't ship to the US, only within the EU, but the price was good enough that I had it sent to a friend in the UK who forwarded it to me.
My first reaction upon opening the package was that it was too small. That was also my second and third reaction. My fourth reaction was, "Wow. A perfect fit!"
Oddly, as I look at the back-and-forth emails now, I see that the guy had sent me a diagram with measurements -- and that there are a few colors other than black -- but at the time I was reading the messages on my phone and didn't see any of that. It fits, doesn't have as heavy padding as my Eastman gig bag that came with my new Eastman, but it's darn good enough! I don't expect to be taking it that many places, but still wanted to have a case for it. I have seen a few on eBay, but for $$$$.

The guy (owner?) answers emails within about a day and a half to my time zone (Arizona) so I thought he was pretty responsive.
