Jbray Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I have a beautiful 53' and I would like to find her a new place to sleep. Does anyone have an extra case laying around they would like to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Find a nice looking wall hanger and leave it out so you can see and grab it easily. Cases are for taking it for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Those brown Lifton cases are fairly easy to find. Check out eBay and Reverb. I recently sold one which I picked up many years ago for a 1956 SJ for $300 which is about as cheap as you will find them in nice condition. My wife still keeps her 1960 J-200 in its original Lifton case. Personally, I would look for something like an Ameritage or Hiscox case (or a Calton if you are feeling rich). I snagged a slightly used Ameritage off Reverb about two years ago for $200 which I keep my '42 J-50 in when out and about. Weighs as much as a boat anchor (you tend to change arms quite a bit when carrying it) but a whole lot better protection than a 1950s case will give you. When at home, where the guitar is fairly safe, I keep it in an early 1960s Gibson case which I believe were made by Victoria Luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
