Will this case fit?

[Cougar]

I got a nice case with my Performer ME. I was wondering if an EL-00 Pro would be a good fit in that case. I'm thinking the Performer can be left out in the elements... of the living room. It's all laminate! But what the heck is a "Venetian Jumbo"? I've seen it described as a jumbo, and also a mini-jumbo. I guess I could measure the thing. The lower bout is about 15" with a 4.25" width at the lower bout. I see the EL-00 is 15.5" and 4 3/8". My EF-500's also measure 15.5", and they don't fit, so I guess I answered my own question... with a "no". :(

 

BTW, I just restrung the Performer with Martin 80-20 .010-.047's, lemon oiled the fretboard... This is a nice little guitar! I just played it acoustically a little; it's got good resonance! I'll see how the electronics pick up these bronze strings.....

I think the Venetian part is because it has a Venetian cutaway. The jumbo part I guess is being a little generous with the dementions.

did you check the dimensions on the PR5E case? might be close.

Ah, thanks. Apparently the occasionally described "mini jumbo" refers to the half inch smaller lower bout and 1/8 inch less width. Oh, but that's compared to the EL-00, which is referred to as a smaller, "parlor" guitar, not a jumbo. These guitar body shapes have my head spinning....
