AndersonsGuitar Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) So I’m amazed there is no topic on here about this, but has anyone else had a Gibson come in a made in China Gibson labelled case ? My first Les Paul I had to send back due to finish issues, but it came in a Chinese made case that was... well flawless, absolutely spot on it! Les Paul number two came in the usual TKL case... and its just a bit of a mess really. I’ve included a few pictures to show what I mean, they’re only minor issues but the difference in finish quality is surprising Edited May 16, 2021 by AndersonsGuitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I’ve seen so many QC problems on these vintage style cases. My G&G Fender case doesn’t even stand up on the metal feet. Even when they are built right they’re heavy and less protective than a more modern case My little bro got a Telecaster Ultra and the included case is really nice. It’s just about as ugly as it gets but the functionality is excellent. Unfortunately it appears that most of Gibson’s customers want to see a vintage style case. Personally when it comes to the case I’m not concerned with aesthetics and I’ll take the ugly plastic type if it’s well fitted and lightweight with nice latches and hinges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Yes my Canadian case was a little bit disappointing, but the USA one is great (both acquired 2015) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 They seem to be sourcing them all over. My 2020 Hummingbird came in a Gibson case made in Costa Rica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realmongo Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have one Costa Rica case and it’s so heavy, it feels like there’s a guitar in there even when empty! The quality seems good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
