Case handle

[beerdragon]

Geting my guitar case out of the car the other night it got snagged and the handle broke off, it was'nt a dear one, if it was it probably would not have snapped, it's a guvnor. cost about £40. anyway i have taken the rest of the handle off and i hace just got the holes so i was thinking of getting a length of leather and making a handle, not pretty but effective. i've google handles but so far i've only got door handles!. anyone got any other ideas.

Try Maplins - they do a range of strap handles.

Ah Maplins, Thanks.

there's a place that sells flight case supplies - aimed at the DJ market, but they sell stuff like hinges, catches and handles.
djkit.com or .co.uk i think

Three of these are fitted to my V8! They do the job nicely.

Spotted those CK, but figured at 13 quid it'd be a bit OTT for a £40 case...

I think i've sorted it. my youngest daughters got no end of handbags lying around so i managed to fix a handle off a handbag. dont laugh, it works a treat.
