Parlor Cases

[Pappy Green]

At the risk of being a little but "five minutes ago" I have recently taken possession of some nice parlor cases from TKL. There are two version 'flash' and 'not so flash' but both the same dimensions. I saw these cases on Elderly website for $99 but the shipping of $255 killed the deal. I contacted TKL direct and they gave me the following prices

TKL 8975 - tkl professional arch-top standard / parlor guitar case
suggested retail : $339.95
masterpack : 4 pcs per carton
less than masterpack : $135.98 each plus shipping
masterpack : $122.38 each plus shipping
* estimated shipping via usps priority mail international is $86.95 per case... estimated transit is 6-10 business days...

TKL 7875 - tkl premier standard / parlor guitar case
suggested retail : $204.95
masterpack : 4 pcs per carton
less than masterpack : $81.98 each plus shipping
masterpack : $73.78 each plus shipping
* estimated shipping via usps priority mail international is $86.95 per case... estimated transit is 6-10 business days...

I correctly deciphered this to mean

one master pack = four cases and costs $489.52 (8975) or $295.12 (7875).
shipping for a master pack is 4 x $86.95 ($347.80)

anything less than a masterpack (pack of four) is slightly more per unit but shipping is the same.

The 8975 is the maroon lining with arch top, the 7875 is grey lining.

dimensions internal are:

overall length : 39"
upper bout : 9.5"
lower bout : 13"
body length 18"
depth : 4.5"

I purchased direct from TKL, a very helpful lady called Laurie Dougherty [laurie@tkl.com]

TKL website is here http://www.tkl.com/ I am sure they will do similar offer for their other stuff.

hope this helps someone.
