Plain Jane

A custom built guitar case for the Martin Backpacker, made from various plywoods, veneers and solid stock. A felt-covered foam sheet fitted inside the lid, hinged with 10mm SOSS hidden hinges, firmly yet gently holds both new style and old style Backpackers.

 

Plain Jane is just so - no metal trunk corners, no rubber feet. Beetle-bored mahogany plywood and recycled leather suitcase handle make for a vintage vibe. She is a reincarnation of my original prototype, but with varnish.

 

Now the property of Ms K. E. of Upstate New York, a teacher and rising star on guitar and voice. Fortune favors the bold, Ms K!
