Tech design drawings - like the look?

To give you some more views of the case currently in development here are some tech drawings - most of the lines you see will not appear on the case - they are to show where there are changes in radii and other techy things.

Does design grab you? Would you like to carry your guitar in this case? Would you like that it is so totally unlike any other case?

Can you see any problems with the shape ? Would it load easy when you're gigging?

Tell us what you thing - we want your input to make this case a real co-creation product.

Jim - thanks for your appreciative comments and insights into how you use a hardcase. My guess is there are many other players out there that have the same desire to carry the guitars in something really strong and easy to handle.

As our cases are pretty compact - certainly compared to rectangular cases and look more like cool luggage I hope they will be easy to carry on flights. But some people will want to check them in and that's why we 've put so much effort into finding really high performance materials like CURV and MFT which will withstand the rigours of the worst baggage handlers. Our cases are good to the eyes AND tough as hell.

Our case will take about 20+ popular guitars but the Gretsch is a tough one as the body is deep and if it has a Bigsby then its a real challenge. So for the time being I can't guarantee it will fit the Calder case.

I wonder if you might also be interested in the gig bag - there's a post about that - less protection than the hard case but much more than most other gig bags we can find.
