In 1997, Jimmy built his guitar #147 for me—custom order for basic archtop in spruce/mohogany. I now live in Colorado—very dry climate. I need a plastic (non-wood) case to protect this guitar from the climate here. I’m having trouble finding a case to fit—please give me your recommendation(s). Thank you!! –Jim Lichens
