If the case is made to fit your current guitar body snugly, it may not fit your new guitar's body. The length of the case shouldn’t be an issue.

For this, I suggest goin down to te hardware store or something and buying some styrofoam. Not the crappy kind that gets all over the place, but good decent styrofoam, like you can use as a floatation device for a raft. Then, get it cut or cut it yourself to fit the space in the guitar case when the new guitar is in it. When it fits, rip away some of the casing of the case and apply a strong adhesive to the styrofoam and attach it. Then, go and buy some casing that matches the rest of your case so it looks nice. Problem solved!!! I say YES it will fit, and it gives you more room in the case to for stuff, like your capo, picks, tuners, etc. Also, your guitar may get banged up a bit.

It needs breathing room and secondly, you can put your guitar strap or extra set of strings in it. Don't worry if your guitar is 40" or if the case if 46". Irrelevant. Hey Jules

Don’t worry if your guitar is 40″ or if the case if 46″. Irrelevant.
