I could take Key West for about three days then I had enough. I loved the Cuban food in Miami. Oh wait that is Cuba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 This case looks great. Much nicer than the turd case that I have. I’ll probably go with an SKB since it doesn’t have a big logo on it but would really prefer if this had come with my Les Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Case is made in China too. I think that the reviewer ended up that these were a good case though overall. Did tests with a LP and SG where both had pretty good "snug" factor to keep the guitar in-place while transporting. Well, I'm not wanting this case anyhow. I see some of the older chainsaw cases for sale here and there and never had the interest to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How kind of them Gibson | Historic Replica Les Paul Case, Hand-Aged Yeah, that's lame IMHO. Literally they want to upcharge someone for a case that looks like it was sitting in someone's musty, old basement under the stairs for a decade or three. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Most great cases look awful. All those chainsaw ones look really awful. Just have to remind myself that it has a job to do. Even so, I wouldn't give one house room. If I was in the market for something like that, I'd plump for a Hiscox probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) @Rabs, were you trying to pull something on us here? The title of the thread is misspelled. Let me fix it for you... New CHINAsaw cases EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm poking at the location of manufacture - not insinuating anything offensive. LOL when you look at most of the "things" in your house, it is practically all "Made in China". Is what it is and don't have an issue with it. And again, I believe the case would do a good job at protecting your guitar. If this guy in the video I posted a link to earlier says it works, I will take his word for this topic to consider if/when I look at/recommend one. Trogly knows more about Gibson than the average guy. Edited June 21, 2021 by NighthawkChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The old brown, chip-board, simulated aligator case, with the broken plastic handle  I got with my '64 LG1 must be worth a small fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 My 1st ever Gibson was an L-6S Deluxe which came in one of the old chainsaw cases. Should have kept it, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang 🙂 I need the cases, but honestly I don't think I have ever locked one. Like you I would mislay them. Generally though most keys appear pressed out of sheet steel (or sh1t alloy) & I expect you could pick those locks with a knitting needle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I got an old Chainsaw Case a while back with a LP Melody Maker in it, I sold the Melody Maker and kept the case because I found that it fit my Blues Hawk really well. Partly because old case was flat in-between the LP contours and allowed my Blues Hawk to fit better than another case I had found. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
