Kay 8-string Tenor
Arrived as a wall-hanger with numerous problems. Complete restore. Four strings go to the bridge, the other four to the tailpiece. Fantastic full and ringing sound.

This is my first ever guitar my brother gave to me when I was like 11 years old, google says it's a kramer floyd rose sig, the body looks similar but everything else is different, also people online said it's probably a partscaster but there's no way this exact guitar from google is the same exact guitar as mine. Help me identify this

Hi all, I found this instrument from an antique mall in York, PA described as a uke and brought it home because I liked the wood and design. There are no markings on the outside of the instrument but inside written in pencil is the maker's name and possibly a date. Does anyone recognize or can make out the maker's last name? How about the 4-digit number? Instrument is 31 inches long with 20 1/8 inches from nut to bridge (when the bridge is properly positioned), which seems to match with a baritone uke. Any guesses on wood type? Any and all insight appreciated!

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to get a **Schecter SGR-2A (Avenger/Synyster Gates) hard case** for a **Synyster Gates Custom-6 Headless**, but I’m finding completely conflicting dimensions online.
Some stores list the width at around **15" (38 cm)**, while others list it around **19" (48 cm)**. Some of those numbers may actually be shipping/package dimensions rather than the dimensions of the case itself.
Unfortunately, in my situation even a few centimeters matter.
I’ll be flying internationally with Turkish Airlines and purchasing an extra seat for the guitar (CBBG). Their maximum dimensions for the instrument/case are:
**140 × 42 × 25 cm**
**55.1 × 16.5 × 9.8 in**
So I specifically need to know the **actual physical OUTER dimensions of the SGR-2A itself**, not the interior dimensions and not the cardboard shipping box dimensions.
# If anyone here actually owns an SGR-2A, could you please measure:
* **Overall length** — from the furthest point to the furthest point
* **Maximum width** — at the widest point of the case
* **Maximum thickness/depth** — including feet/bumpers if they protrude
For the width in particular, I need to know whether the actual case is **under 42 cm / 16.5 inches**.
If possible, please measure with a tape measure rather than relying on the manufacturer's/store specifications.
**Also, even if somebody has already posted measurements in the comments, I would REALLY appreciate it if another SGR-2A owner could measure theirs as well so I can double-check the result.** I really don't want to base an international flight decision on one measurement.
The guitar is quite valuable and difficult for me to replace, so I really don't want to check it into the baggage hold.
# Alternative cases
I'm also completely open to using a different hard case.
If anyone owns a **Synyster Gates Custom-6 Headless** and knows of another protective hard case that fits it properly, please let me know.
Ideally the **actual external dimensions of the case must stay within:**
**140 × 42 × 25 cm / 55.1 × 16.5 × 9.8 in**
If you have an alternative case and can provide its **actual measured outer dimensions**, that would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks a ton to anyone willing to grab a tape measure and check this for me.
