Olli,

Thanks for posting pictures. Did you have the flight case custom built to your dimensions, or is it an off-shelf item?

Yes , I had the case built to dimensions by a local maker. I was originally going to get just an ordinary flight case for the amp , but when I measured it I realized that the case would be just the right height for a steel seat. So , why not combine the two and have one less item to worry about...
Only 55 lbs with amp , volume pedal ,cords etc.
Maybe about 50 lbs with the original speaker(Deltalite)in the Evans,mine has a Weber California 10" in it now.

That is really nice, but didn't anyone tell you you can't play a steel through a 10" speaker? :D (There's plenty of forum members who will be glad to tell you.LOL) I like the sound I get from my Evans AE100 with an 8" speaker, and even play some C6th through it. I like those small Evans amps.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, a restored MSA Classic SS, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also have a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks, and a showroom condition Sho-Bud Super Pro.

Very nice, Olli!

I also have an Evans AE100. I've flown with it in a suitcase, along with my clothes.

That extra 5 pounds has to be lost if you're flying the airlines that I use. They charge extra for over 50 lb.

Probably putting your volume pedal and some accessories in your sutcase would do it.
