Hatton Split Cases Received

Post by Randy Boyd »

I just received the Hatton Split Cases for my Mullen G2 D10. What a great job Kevin did on these cases! The dimensions were so precise that the guitar fit perfectly. After experiencing a herniated disc in my back earlier this year, I decided to order the Hatton cases. They divide the weight to make the guitar easier to handle, along with adding wheels and a handle to the case for the guitar body.

If your're interested, call Kevin Hatton at: 716-691-7505.

Thanks agin, Kevin!

You must be feeling better, Jody!

I didn't know you had split cases. They are easier to haul around, aren't they?

Are you going to make it to the club meeting Nov. 6th?

I got split cases from Kevin a few month's ago and they're working out great. They do the job and look good too. My back really appreciates the lighter load.

Hi Flash. Probably won't make the meeting. Hopefully in Dec. Jody.

I got a set of Kevin's cases for my Mullen some time ago. They are a quality built case, they save the back and they look good to boot!

For those of you who love your D-10 but the weight is killin' you, do what Randy and many others of us have done and go with Hatton Split Cases. I've had mine for a few years now and what a relief! Here is a pic of mine that I've shown here several times as a testament to Kevin's quality workmanship.

I'll add to this. Got me a set of Hatton split cases for my old MSA. They arrived a few weeks back. The MSA weighs a ton, and the split cases help a lot.

Mr. Hatton did a wonderful job on the cases, the MSA fits like a glove.

Early in December I ordered a set of Kevin's split cases for an Emmons Push/Pull as a Christmas present for a good friend of mine from his family. Kevin was extremely easy to deal with. And, he kept in touch with me to keep me updated as to his progress. They arrived as he promised on Christmas Eve. The workmanship is impeccable. The guitar fits the case perfectly. What a treat to see something done so well.
Thanks Kevin,
Ron

I just wanted to say thank you. There are probably a couple of guys shaking their head here. Last year I switched to a stonger lid block adhesive. Some of the players down in Texas and Florida left their steels in their cars in 100 degree heat. The lid blocks melted right out of the case and some had the fabric coming loose. The adhesive that I am using now is rated at 200 degrees and dries rock hard. Also, as I get feed back back on the cases I am making improvements. Email me if you feel that you have any. I want to build the best case possible. Again, thank you.

Carl, that is certainly a great looking set of cases you have there. I have a set like that on order now, can't wait to see them. They sure look like top-quality cases, not to mention the way they save your back.
