The dealer has the correct size case coming next week. I'll give it a good whiff before I take it home .

Thanks to all who pointed out the case smell, I can enjoy the guitar more now!

Most new cases have a smell I don't like. You can really tame the smell by putting a couple dryer sheets in the case and leaving it closed for a few days. I've been told charcoal works too but I've never tried it. Leaving it open in the sun works too.
