Standard cases are available for customers that want to order a case without providing dimensions or body tracings The standard case dimensions were derived from (Simon Marty) classical guitars and from the (Martin –D-28) dreadnaught guitars.
Standard interior configurations may not provide the crafted fit that would be delivered by a custom fit interior. Before purchasing a standard case, please compare the basic dimensions of your guitar to the table below to insure that the standard case is properly sized for your instrument. Karura recommends that your instrument dimensions should not exceed the standard case dimension by more than 6 mm (0.24 in) and should not be less than the case dimension by more than 3 mm (0.1 in). Once you confirm, your instrument will fit to your satisfaction in a standard case, you may place your order simply by clicking the PayPal button and following the ordering process.
Standard cases will not be refit free of charge. The customer assumes responsibility for final fit. If errors are made, the case can be returned to Karura for a custom fit at customer expense or customer may order additional pads at customer expense to facilitate a better fit.
