Hi thanks - Flightcase Warehouse - are offering no help over this at all.
LATEST UPDATE from the Director at Flightcase Warehouse:
"Hi,
I have had enquires today asking the question: Are these cases and all their components safe and compatible for nitrocellulose finished Gibson guitars?
I have never been asked this question and is obviously from the forum thread that you started and sent me.
If I was to answer the question my answer would be ‘ I do not know. It is a £** guitar case and we have sold 100’s with no issues. Obviously on cheaper guitar cases you get cheaper materials. My opinion would be you make the choice.
I feel the only way forward is to refund you for the case, which I am happy to do.
I will not cover the repair of the guitar.
I will only cover the case cost."
So that's the customer service from Flightcase Warehouse...
The guitar case is clearly advertised as a Les Paul hardcase but is made from materials that directly damage the finish of a Gibson Les Paul.
I have contacted some top luthiers as suggested here by other members regarding repair costs and sent photos of damage and have contacted GIbson direct also - Flightcase Warehouse should wake up realise the problem is their hardcase that has caused the damage to my guitar and get this matter resolved.
very stressful...
