Rodger Boyce Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Does anybody make/sell a hardshell case that would fit my Gibson B-25? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The quickest fix might be a classical size hardshell. All companies make them.... the B25 has a lower bout about the same as a typical classical so that would be a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nid2007 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I know TKL makes one, because I have one (for an LG actually). And Gibson sells some LG's and even B-25's now too--so I would think that they make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have my LG-0 in a WolfPak softshell case... it fits just as well as my classical does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nid2007 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 FYI: that Martin 000 seems to fit in my LG/B-25 cases, but not vice-versa. Also, I know you are looking for a hard case, but I thought I'd share that for convenience sake, I'm often putting my LG in the Blues King soft case for short car trips. That is a nice fit too--and it says "Gibson" on it. Hope this info is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Boyce Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks to all for the input. Believe it or not, I still have my B-25 in its original pasteboard case, but after 43 years, that old case has become pretty dilapidated. Also, FYI, the original PICKGUARD on my B-25 came loose and was accidentally broken with pieces lost many years ago. I have had a helluva time finding a replacement except from suppliers who said I would have to make a "tracing" so they could custom make it. Finally, I saw a replacement guard offered by Luthiers Mercantile International. It's a Tor-Tis guard offered mainly for the J200, but it is EXACTLY the same as the one on my B-25 and several other Gibson models I think. (Two are shown at lower left in the photo with posts from nid2007.) You can even print out TO SCALE a pattern (to confirm that it fits) and choose from several different colors. Go to http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproducts.asp?searchtext=pickguards&Submit=Quick+Search&NameProdHeader=Tor%2DTis%99+Pickguards It's the "Large" model and the stock is PGTOR3.
