D-60 case ?

[pigtown]

A D-60 just arrived, wonderful, powerful guitar!  I'm wondering if it came with the correct case, however.  When I went to put it back in, it took some extreme effort.  So much so that I've decided not to put it back in this case until I can resolve this issue.  I literally have to force it in to the point where I'm concerned with damage.  I measured 15.5" from edge to edge of the lower bout padding, and 11.5" on the upper bout.  The D will not fit in an L case, nor the L into this "D" case either.  Anybody with a D care to measure their case or comment?

I have a D-50 and it is a snug fit in the case, but not so snug that I feel like I could damage the guitar.

I have a D-05, and I've had it a little over a year now now. The case is a very tight fit, no quite as tight as it was day one but almost as tight. Too put the guitar in I have to make sure that it goes stright, not at an angle, and I have to push down on the bridge a little to push the guitar in. I have never had a  case fight this tight. I at first thought something must be wrong with the case, or that it will losen up with time, but it still remains a very tight fit. But on the other hand I don't think the guitar would fall out of the case easly if picked up unlatched like one of my martin cases.

Yeah, that's exactly the situation.  I called the dealer, and apparently the case hasn't had a guitar in it in some time.  The guitar and case were NOS.  So along with the regular tight fit, it adds up.  I'm "working" the padding a bit, trying to soften and compress it.  It makes some sounds like something being crushed (whatever that padding is)!  Looks like it's going to work out fine.
