Well they gave me reseller pricing when buying a single case. They are very keen to sell to guitar makers and don’t expect you to be buying 10 or 20 at a time. Speak to them, they were very accommodating when I called.

Mr Hiscox was/is a guitar maker himself so he may well have a bit of a soft spot for independent makers. I wrote to him as a teenager and this is one of his guitars that was sold as part of David Gilmour’s collection last year. Not a bad price for a guitar with an upper estimate of $2500!!

You do realise that, when a courier sees tape like that, they actually read "kick here". 

Or "drop something heavy on this bit". 

Or "how closely can you drive over these tape lines"

??

You bugger! @tv101 🤣 

I started using grey duct tape but because I had to cobble together that many smaller cardboard boxes, I soon ran out. The only other tape I had left was this very load black and yellow stuff. 🤣
