Note the listing is for the case only, not the OP-1.
"The case was designed and built by Gareth Hill of Services in Wood, Greenwood Lake, NY. The retail price was over $150.
The case was made from a single, solid piece of Maple, milled inside to fit an OP-1, and formed, sanded and finished on the outside with a satin finish. It has two recessed hinges that allow the case to close almost completely flush, except for one corner that has a 2mm gap. Gareth lined it with a 3mm black foam, but this can be removed if you want to substitute felt or something else.
The case is a very snug fit and since it's been in my house in northern California, the maple has swelled up a bit and the OP-1 no longer fits completely inside. Some sanding on the part of the new owner should allow the OP-1 to snugly slide in again. It fits so snugly, Gareth designed one corner with a circular clearance so a lanyard around the OP-1 could be used to pull it out.
It is a beautiful piece of wood measuring 13 x 5.5 x 2 inches on the outside. The interior compartment, without the foam liner, is almost 11-3/8 x 4 x .75 inches deep.
It feels and smells great, and with a little work could once again be a snug and elegant home for an OP-1.
And no, the OP-1 does not come with - this auction is for the custom case only."
