As I was packing up my house, office and shop to move, I realized that my Fender Stratocaster guitar didn't have a hard case. Replacement cases are pretty cheap, but since I'm me, I decided to make my own.
A lot of lightweight cases are made from cardboard, so this one (made out of plywood) is a bit stronger, although it's still not meant to be a flight case. I tacked together the plywood and wrapped the entire thing in orange Tolex. The inside is made from upholstery foam covered in velvet to keep the guitar secure on the inside without worrying of scratching it. To protect the outside, I added all black hardware (corner protectors, latches, handle, hinges).
The project is very easy (although a little messy due to the amount of spray adhesive) and anyone can pull it off with minimal tools.

One thing to note for the overachievers who want to build a case: Measure the center of gravity of the guitar and make that the point where you center the handle. If you put it in the middle, the case will be leaning whenever you try to carry it.
Make a uke case
How much does the case weigh by itself?
I think it's pretty awesome that you admit your mistakes and help people avoid the same errors. I'm sure a lot of people would just edit that out
Rad! Love the color
Is it light?
I'm a woodworker and I'm serious when I say all you needed was your own case logo and you could market these! One small suggestion instead of the screws you could try biscuit joining the sides together. This way you wouldn't have to worry about hitting screws when you're performing other woodworking operations.

Great project. I always like it when you admit mistakes. It makes me feel better about mine.
You need a 3M sponsorship.... Great project, Bob!
Sticky EVERYWHERE. The Tolex makes it look so legit! As always, thanks for sharing the stuff you would have done differently as you go. Those are the parts we learn from the most!
Awesome project
Looks great!
would pair up well with an orange amp
Thank you for your amazing content! Using this video as a guide, I built my own custom guitar case this weekend. I am so happy with how it turned out.
This looks so cool you should try to build a full sized pool table after you move
Star Wars, Guitars and woodworking. Three things that i simply love. Always great to see your videos Bob, that shop is gonna be missed!
