Hi!

I recently got one of a Danelectro The 64
- so NOT a HF or Mosrite, but the same shape - and I need to get a hard case for it. I asked the PRF FB group what kind of case would fit, and Jazzmaster/Jaguar came up. Can anyone who's actually got one confirm what size is most likely to fit? I can't find a shop that's got one in stock that'd let me come in and check if it fits.

Ta!

I don't have a Jazzmaster case around, but I do have a Hallmark Moserite copy and wonder if you just wrote the guy (named Bob Shade) if he would sell you a hard shell case (they're gaudy but do the job).

Does Dano not make a case for it? That would be pretty silly of them since they can you know... sell them.

If they do, I can't find one anywhere on the internet, and even if I could, getting it to the UK would be prohibitively expensive.

I can find Jazzmaster/Jag cases for £50/£60 quite easily. Might just get one and see if it fits, but if it doesn't, it's a pain in the arse. I've got a JM, but I don't need a hard case for it. Being a JM/Tele person, I'm fine with them in gig bags but I just worry about the Dano's headstock in a gig bag.

You could always take your guitar to a shop that has a US jazzmaster and see if your guitar fits in the case. I only say US because they all come with a case.

It's probably beefier/bigger than what you want/need, but I've got an EGC with a Mosrite/Hi-Flier style body and it came with one of the open cavity SKB iSeries guitar cases and fits just fine. Plenty of extra room if I need to put in any pedals, cables, etc.

maybe I'm missing something but how would a molded Jazzmaster case work unless it was maybe for a left-handed Jazzmaster?

I was wondering the same.

Molded wouldn’t. But a G&G type would likely fit.

Yeah, I presumed they meant a more "open" non-specific cavity case than a moulded one, but just that Fender-style offsets are longer than Strats and Teles. I've taken a gamble on a Gator offset case like this from someone who lives 10 mins walk from my house
Will report back. If it doesn't fit, either I have a hard case for my JM (which I don't really need) or will just move it on.
