Title: EWI tourcases
Post by: Woody on July 22, 2011, 01:44:04 PM
Anyone ever ordered from them? I'm thinking of getting this case for pedals, cables, etc. Read a few good comments on other musician forums but trying to get as much info as possible before I buy.

I had their SVT road case with wheels - I sold it last year, after that world tour didn't pan out. It was built solid, the internal dimensions fit my amp like a glove, but it was heavy as hell though (mine had wheels mounted on an extra plank, with loads of extra bolts etc.). Big thumbs up for Audiopile in general, I can't comment on your exact item but those 10 year old Chinese kids have skills.

SKB is my go to for cases. Lightweight and strong as hell. Made in California, great people too. Don't know much about EWI. Here's a shameless plug for my employer. Good deals on SKB.

I also like the high impact plastic (or whatever it is) used by SKB and Gator, because it's lightweight. But the EWI stuff is definitely well built, if you prefer that style. The plastic stuff was originally developed for military use, it's pretty durable. Anything you could do to destroy a plastic case would probably destroy a plywood case as well. The plastic might not have the same mojo as a plywood roadcase, but a dork like me has bigger problems to contend with.

Dang, RnR Janitor works for Full Compass, do you get an employee discount? They have some good shit.
