Conn Guitar Cases

 BELOW: The first photo below shows a substantial case that came with the Conn Model F-15 that I purchased online (my first Conn guitar). The one I purchased had a label indicating it was a 1976 model. The second picture below is from a catalog page from the 1976 catalog. It was named by Conn "The Protector".  My own case had lightly rusted hasps and hinges, and was dirty--but mostly in good condition. I removed the rust from the hinges and latches as best as I could but some of it had 'blistered' the plating, I lightly sanded all of the hasp surfaces, then cleaned them with alcohol, and masked off and painted them immediately with black catalyzed lacquer.  Thus the difference in the latches shown in my photo on the immediately below versus the catalog version shown second photo below.. I sold the guitar but I kept the case. I later gave a Yamaha FG-230 12-String guitar to my brother, and included the case because it fit the guitar perfectly. He has recently offered to give it back to me because he never uses it. I'll probably take him up on it.

UPDATE JAN 2025: I now have the Yamaha FG-230 guitar and Conn case back in my room. I asked my brother this past summer if the offer was still good to give me back the guitar and case. He went right to his guitar closet and handed it to me, and tried to actually give me another guitar. I left with only the FG-230 in the Conn case. My plan is to put my 1971 Conn F-65 into that case, because the case was made extra large to fit Conn's wider lower bouts (some as wide as 16-3/8".  My own F-15 guitar would only fit in this case. Others were not wide enough. Sorry...I rambled.
