A&S Case Company, Inc. & the Breast Cancer Charity Guitar have joined up together to support the cause. They’re proud to show off their wares at NAMM, Hall A Booth 6288. Ginny Jobe and Byron Jobe decided they wanted to give back to the fight against breast cancer after their personal struggle with Breast Cancer. Ginny and her brother Byron are both guitar players and he has been making them for over 25 years. The thought came to her... she envisioned this guitar to be created and donated toward the fight against breast cancer. She described her idea of the instrument to her brother and they immediately began working out the details. She explained to him that this was something she was driven to do, and that if she became ill again, and had not followed through with it, she would regret it. It is her personal goal to take this guitar on a very special journey.  A&S decided to follow and support this journey because “Every Woman Counts”. Our custom case will protect this beautiful piece of art and A&S Case Ink™ adds the personal touch with the Breast Cancer ribbon artwork on the case. The case and guitar will be in the A&S NAMM booth and some artists including Lisa Loeb have already supported the cause by agreeing to sign the guitar. Who knows what other top notch musicians will be stopping by the booth to support the cause. Breast Cancer Charity Guitar

A&S Door Hangers Now Standard on Kriz-Kraft™ Racks and Kriz-Kraft™ airacks™!

All standard Kriz-Kraft™ racks now come with door hangers...just one more way A&S is innovating to meet customer needs!

Kriz-Kraft™ doors are precision-cut in the front and rear panels of the rack case and fitted with a proprietary door jam and U-channel to provide a meticulous fit without impairing the structural characteristics unique to this design. Due to the solid body construction, Kriz-Kraft™ doors are lighter than regular rack lids and now their storage is handier than ever. The standard Kriz-Kraft™ rack comes in black ABS & 1/2" ply, 2" foam, 20" depth, 2036 non-locking latches and front rack rails which are recessed 1 1/2" into the case. And NOW a product enhancement...doors when removed attach easily to their unique door hanging mechanism on each side of the case for added convenience.

Kriz-Kraft™ racks are available in both the standard 2” foam configuration and the A&S airack™ rack support configuration. airack™ is a uniquely A&S innovative approach that utilizes rubber isolators that provide superior shock attenuation, equipment cooling, airflow and extends the life span of the gear mounted in the case. A&S has eliminated decomposing foam around rack mounted equipment.
