It's nice to have both an acoustic and an electric 12 string For me they are specialty guitars that I don't play everyday so I wasn't going to go the uber expensive route on them. But, I don't have any particular complaints about either of them other than difficulty finding cases they fit in. The Jay Turser has this rather elaborate top of the headstock that was just unnecessary, lol! 12 strings have pretty long headstocks as is, and there was no good reason to add a bunch of extra "elvis hairdo" looking real estate to it. I bought that guitar a long time ago but I remember driving myself crazy finding it a case.

The Cozart is a strat type and that one was a little troublesome as well finding a case for.

Mine is black but check out the top of the headstock:

try finding a case for this......

That may have been the intent all along. GOOD-NATURED fun

Gotta have that to keep the mind sharp.

And tomfoolery.

Looks like @frozenotter don't agree!

But otherwise, I say carry on!

You guys reminded me I need to make a case for my mandolin. I ordered the stuff I didn't have like the Tolex and handle and latches, but need to get to it.

I seem to have a bad habit of buying things that no one makes cases for.

You of course, know the origins of the microwave and how Amana came up with the prototype.

Seems back in the days when microwaves were still being used only for RADAR systems one of the lab techs at Rayethon (who owned Amana) was standing in front of a working magnetron. That is the 'gun' that makes the microwaves in your oven or a RADAR system..

This was the guy!

Back then no one knew they could be used to cook with or
anything like that.

Then the tech's chocolate bar melted in his shirt pocket while he was standing there and the first microwave oven was concieved!

But what to call this new wonder?

Since they worked in the RADAR field of technologies they christened it the 'Radar range'.


A little history for the geek in you...

The microwave oven did not come about as a result of someone trying to find a better, faster way to cook. During World War II, two scientists invented the magnetron, a tube that produces microwaves. Installing magnetrons in Britain’s radar system, the microwaves were able to spot Nazi warplanes on their way to bomb the British Isles.
By accident, several years later, it was discovered that microwaves also cook food. Called the Radar Range, the first microwave oven to go on the market was roughly as large and heavy as a refrigerator.

The idea of using microwave energy to cook food was accidentally discovered by Percy LeBaron Spencer of the Raytheon Company when he found that radar waves had melted a candy bar in his pocket. Experiments showed that microwave heating could raise the internal temperature of many foods far more rapidly than a conventional oven.

The first Raytheon commercial microwave oven was the 1161 Radarange, which was marketed in 1954. Rated at 1600 watts, it was so large and expensive that it was practical only for restaurant and institutional use.
In 1967, Amana, a division of Raytheon, introduced its domestic Radarange microwave oven, marking the beginning of the use of microwave ovens in home kitchens. Although sales were slow during the first few years, partially due to the oven’s relatively expensive price tag, the concept of quick microwave cooking had arrived. In succeeding years, Litton and a number of other companies joined the countertop microwave oven market. By the end of 1971, the price of countertop units began to decrease and their capabilities were expanded.

I’m sure y’all know about using microwaves for riot control? Craziest crap......it does work. That’s all I gotta say about it.......

I didn't say Shenanigans, I said Tomfoolery. It's spelled different.

I've checked all of theirs out and contacted them

I even got people to measure their Ovation mandolins and cases. The Crafter one is deeper and has larger bouts.

Once upon a time 2 companies made cases for Crafter mandos, but not now and I figure my chances of coming across a used one without a mando with it are slim.

I don't think it will be a big deal. Make a plywood box, cut the top off with my table saw. Line it with tolex on the outside and with foam and then the liner on the inside. Rivet latches, hinges, handle and screw on feet/corner protectors.

You have a table saw?
