Busted My Case!

tcadam · April 5th, 2007, 07:26 PM

I just snapped the handle off one of my cases (my only good one). The lugs are in good shape but I broke the plastic handle. Has anybody heard of a replacement handle or other way of fixing this so it doesn't have to end up clogging the local landfill? I quickly checked Musicians Friend and didn't see any sort of generic replacement available. I'm not looking for pretty just something functional. Thanks, Tom

My friend I'd like to introduce you to an engineering tool bar none. It's ability to save the day is well known, and I hear most of the Russian navy uses it to patch holes in their reactors.

American Handle...I like it when a company's name tells you what they make and where they're located.

BTW, I'm afraid duct tape just won't handle this situation (sorry 'bout the pun).

Between that and Velcro, you can fix just about anything, and make it better!

A dog collar makes a handy fix on amps. Probably work on a guitar case as well.

The good thing is, if your amp ever runs away from home, atleast they can look on the collar and know who it belongs to!

Allparts makes a nice leather replacement handle.
