Fitting a Calton case to the SS

[Jkater]

Twelve years ago, I ordered a custom fitted Calton case in Calgary for a now-sold short horns DC style guitar. Kept the case, of course, but being exactly fitted to that guitar, it didn't fit anything else until I decided to put the scissors and thread and needle (and some sweat) into it. It now fits the Silver Sky PERFECTLY including the headstock padding. If you know the Calton cases, you know that I could throw that guitar (in the case) through the window of the second floor, let it crash on the concrete below and the guitar would still be in tune.

Nice work! Looks like it was made for the guitar.

Nice Tama Iron Cobra pedals in the background.

That is a really nice job you did on the Calton, can’t tell it wasn’t made for your silver sky.

Thanks! I just ordered an Iron Cobra 600 for the bass drum (and toe stoppers for both pedals). Even better than the 200 of the HH. Middle range stuff that works great in spite of not breaking the bank.

Merci!

Yeah the Tama stuff is good but you pay for it!

My son is the drummer. I bought him a used Big Dog, double kick (double chain) for his birthday in the summer and his playing has moved on very well for an 11 year old, who started lessons this year.

His drum tutor is very pleased with him.

Thank you, bodia. I'm happy with how it turned out.

It's fun to follow the musical growing of our kids. My daughter got a basic Yamaha electronic drum for her 13th birthday. She plays in a band and this is a good practice tool.

Yeah the wee man has an electric kit, a lot quieter for us and the neighbours!

He plays a song in a our band which is great for him.

Nice work! They’re great cases.

That’s a real nice set up, lovely space to play in.

Our drummer has recently bought an Alesis Crimson (mesh heads) kit and using real cymbals/hi-hat. He’s getting a great sound from the hybrid format.

Love the subtle inclusion of the PRSssssss in the foreground!

Yeah I included them as this was taken for this thread. Gotta stay on topic.
