Ham Rex Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hello: Does anyone know if a Scarab 2 22 fret 2 pickup guitar will fit in this case? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134427413849 Please let me know. Thanks, H Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 It’s possible, but seller is misrepresenting that case. It’s an early 2000s IMPORT case, not a USA case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply and amazing knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I couldn't tell you if a Hamer Scarab would fit in this case; and yes, it is meant for a import Hamer and isn't exactly the same as a USA Hamer case; but it's still a Canadian-made TKL case...TKL made cases for Hamer USA in the '90's, maybe later on too. The point being is that it's a better-made guitar case IMO than a lot of Chinese-made cases out there, especially if it's a larger than average size. I've used the 'universal' rounded-corner Fender guitar-sized TKL cases (the TKL 7830) for my Fenders and Partscasters for years, and they've never let me down. I can't say the same for Chinese-made cases! Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting them side by side shows how different they are! Thank you helping me avoid spending money on a case that wouldn't work for me.

cmatthes Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The interior pics didn’t load for me last night, but no way that will fit a Standard or Scarab. I believe that’s a case for this import Impact Bass (zero relation to the USA model). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are good cases and prefer anything other than made in Chi-Na! I love TKL cases! People complain that they are hard to buy, but since they are Canadian-made, you can buy them in Canada for much cheaper than you can buy them in the USA. They are manufactured by a company called Boblen in Quebec. The Hamer GC-1 (the standard archtop case that everybody loves) is closest to a TKL 8825, which is actually a Boblen 8825. When you buy the Boblen, it still has the TKL tag! I just bought one brand new for $96 USD, equivalent to $130 CAD! Here is the proof: I don't know which model of case would fit the Scarab, but here is the Boblen which fits the Flying V: https://musicredone.com/products/boblen-rtv-flying-v-electric-guitar-hard-case?_pos=1&_sid=34c33decd&_ss=r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
