It's a small detail that makes a lot of difference. Carefully clip it and sand the edges to a point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quaresma7 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Guys, what do you think is the best 5513 aftermarket case?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 "Guys, what do you think is the best 5513 aftermarket case?!" That is a very, very good question. The problem is there are so many variations and any one 'brand', Yuki or Phong for instance, may not be exactly the same from one example to the next. It's basically the luck of the draw. Imho the best of the best are cases that started out with careful, accurate machining and shaping, are exact oem spec, and detailed by a pro. Correct stamping and engraving make a huge difference too. My guess is after a few years of wear, many high grade 'Frankensteins' will probably jump over into the 'genuine' category after the second or third owner. No telling how many have already made that jump. None of mine have ever been that good for that very reason. Two flaws I would not accept on a high $$ case is when the spring bar holes are drilled too high or low in the lugs or there is not enough 'meat' on the crown guards to 'spec them out' if needed. Amateur 'artificial aging' has ruined a lot of very good cases too. In many instances artificial aging turns out to be the Fatal Modification, turning a $1000 case into a $100 case.

Drummania Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I believe Phong can further customize the case to your exact specification, if you ask nicely. @occb2 may have details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
