Yes the Stagg is the one. You'll have enough room for those accessories.
Musicians Friend's Flying V case(16.50" wing tip to tip) will be tight I think, our RR PDV are 17" Too bad I kinda liked the Musicians Friend's case. Were did you get the Stagg case? Would Guitar center carry it?

I took an Epiphone case.. and where the wings are.. i cut out the padding. Put the Liner back down so it wouldn't scratch the guitar. It fits well... A tad tight.. but just enough that i place it in and take it out carefully.

I just cut it with a knife. the liner pulled right off. Then just glued it back in. If you already have the case try it out. its not hard.

I just jam with a few friends. So I don't need anything expensive. I would love to find a road case like the Fernandas PDV came with. It's just like Randy's. I spoke to Tim today. He said I'll be getting the guitar in about two weeks. I'm getting his newer model with all the upgrades. Bridge, electronics, and bigger inlays etc.. I can't wait. I've been wanting a Rhoads PDV for 30 years now.

Tim is is in Illinois, and is registered on the forum here as 'basicwatch' -- he started a thread about it here if you want to PM him. On eBay, he goes by 'zoesandra'. He has a listing up for these now here: http://cgi.ebay.com/RANDY-RHOADS-POLKAD ... 2a103ba202If this auction is over, just do a search for "Randy Rhoads Polkadot Flying V Guitar" on eBay, and it should turn up as he keeps re-listing it. The auction is just for taking orders because these are built with each order.

Mine will have the Rosewood board (if I read the Ebay listing correctly the new ones will come standard with rosewood boards) and black knobs. Randy used a Super Distortion in the bridge and a PAF in the neck position. I will change mine to those later on. The pickups that he has one them now I hear are really good.

The white kind of cheapen the look of the guitar in person. but its whatever you want of course.
