Hey David, I use the 1650 like Pieter although I did not add the metal reinforcing during shipping and it held up just fine. I would, today, add at least a piece of oak or maple that is cut to fit in one of the pick-n-pluck holes to give it more strength. The good thing about it is that is actually quite a bit over sized so you can add more stuff into the case and not have to carry it around. I also suggest that you angle the HG in the case so that you get more protection at the ends. Scott
