We have a bunch of FW cases and my DH decided to take one apart to repair & recover. The fabric on this case came off easily. It just needs to have the rear hinges removed, then the sanding & re-gluing process. There is reproduction fabric covering that is very close to original. It is called Tolex and is used mostly for recovering old Fender amplifier cases and related. He currently is working on other projects so I don't expect to see any updates any time soon.
