  1. I've had a Canadian-made all-tan Gibson dreadnaught case with a pink interior and a "coffin shroud" cover that covers the top of the guitar before you close the lid. It's tan, with a combination lock, brass-plated clasps, a covered-rope handle and bought in a Bristol, Tennessee music store in 1968. At 51 years of age, it's still in perfect shape after I've lugged it to one gig after another. It's never failed me in any way, no failed rivets, no rotted-out stitching and the cover looks the same as when new. But then I've always carried it with me, rather than checking it. But I did remove the "Gibson" label so as not to tempt fate. If you want the clasps and other hardware not to deteriorate and rust away,, put two coats of clear finger-nail polish on all of it, and it will stay about as nice as new. I take care of the case like it was the guitar, I guess. It fits my 1966 Martin D12-35 with a solid head perfectly. If you take care of things, they will usually last, but I started out with an excellent quality Canadian case with it's hardware rock-solid to begin with. And another way to title this forum is "Canadian cases" or "Canada-made cases".
