Author	Topic: Emmons P/P Custom Split Cases
Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 14 August 2006 07:59 PM profile I am now making custom split cases for Emmons Push Pulls and LeGrandes as well as Sho-Buds and ZB's. These are split cases. One for the body and one for the pedal rack and legs. The body case has external wheels on one end of the case with a spring handle on the other. It takes a solid twenty pounds off the weight of transporting an Emmons guitar by splitting the cases and makes transporting a breeze. You just wheel the body case around like luggage. The cases feature: 1) Light but strong construction. 2) Genuine durable classic Fender Tolex covering. 3) Aluminum ball corners and corner brackets for reinforcement and protection. These cases will never fall apart. 4) Beautiful wine plush velour interiors. Other colors available. 5) Premium hardware. The guitar is float mounted in the case so that neither the changer nor the keyhead is touching the case. The front of the guitar is also offset from the case for protection. This was something that peeved me for years when looking at other cases. The cost is $295.00 plus shipping for the set of two cases. These cases are meant to enhance the value of your steel guitar while providing transport ease and protection. These are very nice cases. I will post pictures shortly. Hatton Split Cases (716)-691-6527.

Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 15 August 2006 10:28 AM profile The edges on the inside of these cases are beveled downward to aid in making the case waterproof and add strength. I will unconditionally guarantee the quality of these cases or your money back. I am starting to make cases for other brands of guitars also.

Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 21 August 2006 08:13 PM profile I can also cover these cases in Ozite (Gray or Black) for those that prefer it. I can also do snakeskin, Fender Tweed, and other colors.

Frank Estes Member From: Huntsville, AL	posted 22 August 2006 06:29 PM profile Great idea, Kevin! I definitely need one of these for my push-pull, but money is tight!
Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 23 August 2006 09:14 AM profile I put alot of thought into these cases and I'm proud of them. They are not your average cases. They are real nice.

Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 28 September 2006 11:03 PM profile Erv, I'm designing now. I have a double neck Stringmaster here to work from, but the quad is going to take some extra planning. The tweed will look great.

Mike Phillips Member From: Brooklyn, NY	posted 05 October 2006 07:15 AM profile Kevin -- My Emmons SKH Legrande case arrived yesterday and it's really nice. For folks wondering what might be great about getting a Hatton case... - fits like a glove - excellent build quality - tolex outside is perfect - inside red velour is perfect - hardware is top quality - back-saving weight reduction and wheels (nice wheels!) - packed and shipped with obvious care during the entire purchase and build process, Kevin kept in touch and updated me on the progress. he worked with me at the outset to ensure the right fit for the guitar, and emailed me at least once a week to keep me in the loop. that kind of treatment really makes you feel good about spending your money with him. and then you get the case!... Many thanks Kevin - i'll probably order another case from you soon. Mike
Erv Niehaus Member From: Litchfield, MN, USA	posted 05 October 2006 08:24 AM profile Kevin called me yesterday and filled me in on the progress on my case. This is going to be a very custom case. For one thing, it is for a Quad Fender Stringmaster and it is going to be done up in original Fender tweed with gold hardware. At the price of Stringmasters these days, why scrimp on a case. After Kevin gets through with this case, he's going to start on a case for my T-8 Stringmaster, and then and then .
Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 08 October 2006 08:39 PM profile Thanks guys. I have received many orders. I have just hired a shop helper. Quality and customer service is #1 to me. Erv, I'm ordering brass screws for your case. They were very hard to find. I have all the other gold hardware. Your case is is designed, and cut. I'm assembling it and covering it tomorrow. I want it to be absolutely perfect. The next one will go much easier and faster. [This message was edited by Kevin Hatton on 08 October 2006 at 08:41 PM.]

Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 17 October 2006 09:12 PM profile LM. I am staring yours this Thursday. We had a natural disaster here in Buffalo and lost power in the area for four days. Buffalo was just declared a disaster area. It put me four days behind. I am sorry for the delay. I will try to have your cases shipped this next Monday. I am working late at night to make up the time and fill orders.

Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 24 October 2006 07:08 PM profile I'm just getting back to normal here after the snow storm. The county has 20 million yards of destroyed tree waste to clean up. FEMA is here. Thanks for all of your orders.

Byron Walcher Member From: Ketchum, Idaho, USA	posted 07 November 2006 07:27 AM profile I want to say that the cases I got from Kevin are first rate. These are light weight cases, very well built. I got the tweed covering, very sharp. Kevin got them to me in spite of the natural disaster, terrrific service.

Pee Wee Rogers Member From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA	posted 19 November 2006 08:39 AM profile Nobody really knows who I am . . .and to fill those in. . . I have worked for Jimmy Dickens since 1982. (Gettin' up there!) I just received my Hatton Split Cases and took them to the Opry this week. At the Ryman there is limited space to show off anything. But, everyone that saw them was VERY impressed. I think at least three orders will come from the first time viewing them. The quality of workmanship is perfect. Everybody agrees. When we tried to move the Steel inside the case,the whole case moved instead of the Steel. Now, that's tight. The tuning is practically not bothered because of the tight fit. I would highly reccomend these cases to ANYONE who needs a case or needs to split the load of carting a Steel Guitar. Mr. Hatton is great to work with and does his very best to fill each order to fit the need. Pee Wee Rogers

Kevin Hatton Member From: Amherst, N.Y.	posted 30 November 2006 07:41 PM profile LM, they were sent to Shilo Sound Service, 4190 Wheeler Rd. C2, Martinez, G.A. That was the address on your envelope. I just checked the tracking and it says " no one there to receive package or business not open". Please call me at 716-691-7505 immediately. LM they attempted delivery today at 4:11 and said that there was no one there to receive the package. Please call me. They will try again tomorrow.
