Gibson guitar embossed case


Paul Evans

Recommended Posts

Good morning, Paul.Ā 

Is the case shaped like this one?

Vintage-Gibson-Chainsaw-Hard-Plastic-Gui

The Gibson Protector case, in that event, from 1976 through the 1980's.Ā 

I think there have been different generations of 'the chainsaw case' some even offered in the early 2000's.Ā 
Unless I'm mistaken.Ā

Hi,I have recently bought a Gibson guitar case with the word Gibson in raised letter from the front of the case,does anyone have any informationĀ  about such cases? Ie year of manufacture,etc? Thanks PaulĀ 

Probably would be more helpful if you posted a picture of the case. Ā Or a Ā better description. Ā Millions of cases out there.Ā

I ended up with a Chinese fake Gibson Les Paul gold-top a couple years ago (later sold to a buddy who knew and accepted that it was fake, but loved the light weight of it).

It came in a 'Gibson' case with raised letters on the top cover.Ā 
Very attractive, truth be told.Ā 
Black outside, blue interior.
Guitar-shaped, not rectangular.Ā 

Darned if I can find any photos of it though.Ā 
I'll dig around.Ā

Hi,so sorry that I've not replied earlier when you were all being very helpful.The case is brown,the lining is black,my les paulĀ  and SG both fit in there.The word Gibson stands proud of the rest of the case,ot looks great and I was just interestedĀ  if anyone can tell me anything about it.I have tried several times to up load photos of it to the site but it won'tĀ  let me.All I could think to do would be to put the item on Ebay and put the item number in this group,I think that would work? To be clear I don'tĀ  want to sell it! Would this work? Thanks once again for your help so far,PaulĀ

Hi,I'll speak to people I know who are more " tech savy" than me and see if anyone can suggest a way to up load the photos. Yes you're right,it'sĀ  a case and the guitar fits in so job done but as I've never seen one like it before I was just wonderingĀ  if anyone knew anything about it's origins

I've never seen one like that but the covering looks like vinyl from the exotic Orient to me.

Grade A imported straight from China, brown tolex. The best a guitar case can get.

Hi Sparquelito,glad you like the case,me too! I bought it because I liked the look of it,it'sĀ  a " bit" different,I fully intend on keeping it and having one of my Les Paul's in it I was just curiousĀ  as to it'sĀ  origins, but we seemed to have settled on cheap,Chinese import? Wishing you all the very best wishes for the season and year to come,Happy New Year!
