Well, I've needed a guitar case for my DM strat ever since I finished it... I thought about getting a new or used G&G Fender case, but
even used ones aren't cheap. Still, I wasn't going to skimp on protecting my baby. Others had posted similar 'case' threads and I through those I
found peeps recommending the CNB Flight case here: http://www.rondomusic.com/flightcases.html.
While watching Iron Maiden Flight: 666 I saw similar-style cases being used by the band while travelling:
So, my new flight case delivered... I decided to make it look like one of 'Maiden's road crew had already added it to inventory and brought on-tour...
Turned out nicely too... a few quick stencils, a razor, blue painters tape, and some primer + Rust-oleum rattle cans did the trick. It's a damn nice
case for the money. The case is very rugged, well built, and the machined/brushed aluminum design is appealing as well. The plush black interior
has a long molded neck channel to hold the guitar secure which is a nice touch - and the headstock area has molded channels to accomodate both standard
and reverse pointy Jackson/Explorer headstock's with standard 13 degree angled necks. Highly recommended.

Yeah, about the only semi-complaint I have with it is that I wish the compartment divides you mention had covers to keep tremolo arms, picks, etc. from "jumping the divide" if you will - and rattling around in the body/neck areas during transport. Easily remedied with a little care, but just a thought.
