marco mancini Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 to me it doesn't look like a garbage , the important thing is the guitar inside of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I get it that things like this are complained about. Yes, when I spend $3k for a guitar, it better have damn near everything right. You shouldn't expect quick BS when you spend that kind of money. Either they need to think about how to better serve their customers when they spend $3k for something instead of trying to throw as much crap out the door and deal with the complaints later. Gibson is going downhill. I would never conceive of buying anything new Gibson today, because the quality isn't worth the money you spend. It's a greedy cash grab game this company is playing, and it's sad that they are now f-ing their loyal customers. Again, $3k, and can't even look at what the f they are putting in a faulty case. If the tolex on my new Gibson case was tearing off like that, I'd be complaining too. Well, I'd turn the thing in for a refund or exchange until it was done right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunking101 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 One of mine had a similar fault but the careful application of some glue fixed it. Not that we should have to do that of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FemmeParallell Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Not acceptable on a new case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure its just because they spent more on it. Not because of where its made. $3k deserves a better case than that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 and they'll charge ya $299 for that if you're just buyin a case. Awesome!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) This model was made in China or in Costa Rica. TKL cases are very good quality. You can repair with neoprene glue. Edited April 4, 2022 by Alfa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, I got a Les Paul (which itself also has some serious QC issues) in a Made in Canada case (I guess by TKL?), which is not as bad as the OPs, but still disappointing: lid is not closing properly without force, glue residues in the lining. I stumbled upon a comparison between a Made in Canada Gibson case and a Made in China Gibson case on Youtube, where the China case seems to be of a better quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIzJoWScUAE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I prefer Gibson TKL cases, I have 4 Gibson TKL cases and one Gibson TKL Custom SHop, they are perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco mancini Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 where do you see where the case is manufactured ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I ended up buying two Gator cases (made in China) for my Les Paul Jr DC basses. They were the only cases that were long enough to accommodate a short scale bass. I’ve been happy with them & have bought several other Gator Frameworks products. Their customer service has been the best I have experienced in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the interior pocket and there will be a small white tag stitched into the inside stating where the case is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunking101 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The new Gibson cases like the one in the video are cheap and nasty. The handle feels cheap and the matt gold latches look cheap. There's no blaming anyone but Gibson now because Gibson own the company that makes them. https://www.musicinstrumentnews.co.uk/2022/01/10/gibson-brands-acquires-gww-guitar-case-company/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
