Default Hiscox case for my L03R?

Hello,

I am considering a better hard shell case for my guitar when traveling. I can't afford a really expensive flight case. I am leaning towards Hiscox. I noticed that they really only seem to have a 1 size fits all case for their acoustic guitars. Would my Larrivee L03R fit in one of their cases or would it move around? Anyone own an L series and use a Hiscox?

Thanks!

What about an -05/-09 series case? It's archtop is much more resistant to crushing than an -03 series case.

Possibly, but I want something that could handle some abuse. I have heard really good things about Hiscox.

Hiscox uses a 4 point contact scheme to hold guitars in place, with 2 of them being at the middle of the curve on the top bout and 2 on the middle of the curve on the lower bout and then they have a better system of holding the neck, which makes for a really strong and secure hold on the instrument.

I have sent you a PM on Hiscox, please check your messages.
