Looking for budget ES 175 esque hardcase.

I'm trying to source a budget hardcase for a ES175 copy.

The following have the correct internal dimensions; SKB-18, Gator GC-jumbo and Thomann Western Guitar Case, but I'm not sure if they will accept the arch-top format. Any advice / ideas welcome

Pretty sure @The Guitar Weasel used this with his Ibanez artcore arch-tops. http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Semi-Acoustic-Guitar-Case-by-Gear4music-Tweed/FM8.

That was it ... £50 from Gear 4 Music ... and very sturdy and stylish in tweed. Either of my arch tops fit it no probs

I bought a "Thomann Western Guitar Case" when I got my Loar LH-200. Cost me £36 and I wasn't expecting much as it was only for a £200 guitar so I didn't need a top-notch case. Turned out to be a Warwick Rockcase, which retails for £80-100 over here!

It's dreadnought-sized, my Taylor 310 fits nicely in there (not as snug as in the Taylor case, but damn close).
