Dave F Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I had a problem with the case that came with my Jackson Browne. If you have the stereo Trance system it has an external box that does not fit in the compartment case very well. Since this a 12 fretter and a little shorter, I thought about building another compartment above the headstock and I still may. To resolve the immediate problem, I removed the screws from the neck support, reversed the support and added a corner support to catch the lid and accept a third existing screw. The result is enough room for the box, adapter, cable, set of strings, capo and snark. The most difficult thing was finding the matching material.

duluthdan Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm not sure I follow. No, scratch that. I don't follow. You unscrewed the neck support section and just flipped it around? Then just put a fabric covered post in the corner to support the lid closure? All the external screw holes were good to reuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm not sure I follow. No, scratch that. I don't follow. You unscrewed the neck support section and just flipped it around? Yes, but I added a small corner support to catch the lid plus it gets one of the existing screws/screwhole. If you just take yours out and flip it you will see how much more room you have. You will also see the lid needs a stopper and you have and extra screw hole that hits nothing. That's where the extra block comes into play. Did not drill any new holes in the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRC Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Nice mod. I just carry a small gig bag or backpack for all the cords/cables, preamps, DIs, mics, mini stands, etc. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
