Lightweight Wheeled Case

I have a Sho-Bud Pro 3 SD10 and the original case is very heavy and almost impossible to ferry around to gigs.
I’d love to get a wheeled case but not sure where to look for one. Would I need to get one custome made or are there companies that stock them?
Cheers

Alex, This is what I use for my Bolt on S10 D/b Emmons it is a little tight but thats all to the good it is very snug in there and being ex M.O.D. they are fairly indestructable and weigh tween 6 and 7 kg. my case with guitar in goes 24.8 kg. I had 6 or 8 of them but they went like hot cakes>>>> I may know where one could be had if it suits your guitar......

Thanks for the reply John,
Do those cases have wheels on? It’s for the who-bud you sold me back in November!

look at middle pic
I know you cannot fit a D10 in one but a S10 D/B is possible check with Jonathon "East Lonsome Drifters" I think he has a Bud.....

Alex, I can confirm that my Sho Bud LDG (sd10) fits in John's case. Laziness and having a long to-do list has prevented me from fitting it out with foam. It will take a bit of creativity and clever blocking to fit the legs and pedal bar but it's doable. Probably best to find a professional case builder to do the job.

If you love your pedal steel best not to even think of doing it yourself go to a case Company those guys do it all day long and they have got the kit to do it. I use Packhorse in Peterborough they wanted to charge me 30 quid but I gave them 40 and sure as hell got my money's worth my Emmons is snug as a bug in a rug
