rocket launcher Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I picked up a darn nice Gibson CL-20 for my daughter a while back. She will be using it for open mic's soon so it will be hitting the road. This was a 2+ owner guitar and the original case wandered off some time back. I would like to get a Gibson case for it but can't seem to find any used, any suggestions? Can you buy a Gibson case without a guitar from Gibson?
bluemoonofky Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hard to find a used Gibson case, but if you want a decent inexpensive case look at Silvercreek on Musiciansfriend.com They also carry brand new Gibson cases but expect to pay big $$$$$$$ Worth it if you plan on keeping the guitar forever
kidblast Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Silver Creek cases are probably as good as anything you can find out there. I've got one for my 78 Alvarez Yari, fits perfectly a good solid case for around 80 bucks. Musicians Friend is where I ordered from.

rocket launcher Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions folks. I was willing to pay a bit more then the typical ~$100 for a decent case, but not sure I would pay $300 for one. I already have several good cases, i just thought it would be cool to have a Gibson one for it. You know how that goes. I will keep my eyes out for a decent used one, sooner or later one will pop up eh?

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have several cases the CL-20 will fit in, but now I am thinking about getting a case like this and then picking up a can of gold spray paint and making a Gibson stencil........

Joe M Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 How bout this one...... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gibson-case-for-j-45-acoustic
rocket launcher Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 How bout this one...... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gibson-case-for-j-45-acoustic Thats not a bad deal at all. The CL-20 body is pretty close to the J-45 so this just might work! Thanks!
geelinus Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 The J-45 case will definitely fit your CL-20. Both guitars use the same case.
Allie Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Thats not a bad deal at all. The CL-20 body is pretty close to the J-45 so this just might work! Thanks! It will definitely work, I have both guitars and they are interchangeable. Oops, geelinus, I posted before I read down and saw that you had posted that it was interchangeable already.
