Hard case for a Vela?

Hi All,

Any Vela owners out there get a hard case for theirs? The PRS gig bag is fine, but I'm thinking of getting a hard case for it.

I have a RoadRunner universal case - it currently houses my other electric (a Fender American Performer Mustang - the case is slightly longer than a standard Strat case to the Mustang fits) and the Vela does fit in it, but as the photo shows there's a lot of space between the headstock and the sides kind of compress but the body fits tightly.

I was wondering if anyone found a case that fits the Vela better than this? The Mustang's gig bag is pretty flimsy; I'm going to keep the Mustang in a case, but I could either get a Fender Mustang/Duo-Sonic case or I could get another aftermarket case for the Vela. PRS CS informed me that the Vela doesn't fit in the standard PRS multi-fit case.

Thanks!!!
 
It looks like the one you have pictured fits really well. I'd grab another of those.

That's what I was leaning toward - as I mentioned I may take a shot with a Fender case for the Mustang (they just brought out a batch of cases that includes one for the Mustang/DuoSonic) and put the Vela in this case; if I don't like the Fender case then I'll probably just snag another Roadrunner case from GC.

I have this one for my Vela and it's been pretty reliable so far - Bodie

I think my local GC has some of these in stock as well - looks a lot like a multi-fit version of the case EBMM uses. I'll have to check this one out as well.
