Title: Larrivee OM-40 Guitar Case
Post by: otis66 on September 06, 2020, 11:48:14 AM
Does anyone know who makes the guitar case for my Larrivee OM40? Three is a Tag inside of the case that says Made in Canada.

The last Canadian cases I was aware from Larrivee were TKL or their company name  Boblen. Since (early 2010's) as far as I know,  all Larrivee cases are made in China.  They look very nice but did not function (eg. standup) near as well as the TKL's . Even the TKL 3 latch cases are better than the Asian ones I got since about 2010, don't look as fancy but were more sturdy.

Can you provide some pics of the case in question :?

as soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will post
  The case is made in Canada. It looks like the same case that came with a Martin guitar I just sold.
The case is great, no complaints, I love the case. I was just surprised that my Larrivee OM-40 came with a Canadian made case.

There are only a few actual case manufacturers, often manufacturing under 1/2 dozen brand names.

TLK is one of the larger ones.

I am a little surprised as well, unless Larrivee again has started using North American cases - hopefully so for reasons imo above. Does the case look something like THIS Click Here (https://www.tkl.com/products/21178-tkl-premiertm-om-000-guitar-case) without the TKL emblem of course  :?
