Hi - Im unsure if regular guitar cases will fit the slight extra dimensions of a large headstock Strat - does anyone know off the top of their head a suitable hard case to fit a 70's large headstock Stratocaster?

Preferably under £100!

Thanks

My Warmoth strat has a CBS headstock & I have an SKB-66 case for it.  Fits well & IIRC cost around £65.
BKPs: HD, MM, NB, PK, CS, Ab (b&n); Am (b only); VHII, Tril (n only); IT, Slow, Sult (m&n)

Yeah, I have an SKB too, this one:

I also have one of the older ones without the fancy locks, it's basically a Fender case without the logo.  They'll all fit a CBS headstock Strat.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Hiscox LiteFlite are excellent for the money and very helpful if you give them a bell.
