I've owned several Gibson's but, only owned one old one. A '57 Gibson ES-225TD. Absolutely awful. Vintage does not always mean good, it can, but, that wasn't. Edited May 30, 2020 by Sgt.

Johnny V. Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Case looks like a late '60's early '70's. Certainly not from the '50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I've seen one from the 50s that actually had the Gibson logo on the outside, and no manufacturer badge on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliasphobias Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looks like a '70s case to these eyes. Not being a huge fan of that era guitar, can't say much about the cases. Nice guitar! Pretty case! No money changed hands..gotta love that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five minutes on the google machine would have told him it was not an early 1950s Lifton case, much less a case worth $1800. Let the buyer beware.

tpbiii Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Here is a 1949 case -- ES-150. I am not saying what this means for this discussion, but there is an excellent chance this is the real thing. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
