I'm nearly ready to close the box on my second build,which is an OLF MJ and would like to store it in an affordable case. Would this one fit?

I have had good luck with TKL and use their web site to size my cases. Here are the dimensions for the one you have picked - you need to compare that to your guitar

If you are uncertain, call TKL, they have been very helpful in sizing cases.

One word of warning, most on line dealers will take a case in return if it doesn't fit, as long as you have the original box and packing and don't deface the box. However it can be pretty expensive - I recently returned a case that cost the dealer $25 to ship to me, it was more that twice that to return it (and a couple of shippers quoted over a hundred).

I went ahead and bought the case. Seeing the box gave my wife quite a start but I assured her that I had not bought a guitar.

As for the fit, I was surprised that it was shallower than the dreadnought case I've been using for my first build but I think it should be fine. My second build is slightly shallower than my first. As for width, it's got a little play but that's fine by me.
