Rabs Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Yours for a measly $1215 😮 I didnt even know they made cases that expensive.. Thats as much as a LP Studio.. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Product/ASCLTCASE-LP/ASCLTCASE-LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats another grand or so to protect your precious..... Still crazy for a case though.... In saying that, if you were that bothered surely youd just buy a flight case and be done with it?

jdgm Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I have 2 Calton cases, handmade by Keith Calton in the early 1980s. 2 of the best investments I ever made for my guitars. I've had a flight case too in the past, and Calton is better IMO. He lives only a few miles from me. A very nice man though I haven't seen him now for many years, I did email him a few years back. https://www.calton-cases.com/heritage/ Edited May 23, 2023 by jdgm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I have Calton for my Vine j200. I just don't understand why some get so perked up about things that cost a bit. And how is it greed? Calton cases are expensive without Gibson touching them. I dunno man.... Looking to complain for the sake of complaining has always made me scratch my head.

kidblast Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 some how 400 bucks for a watch don't seem so crazy.. those are killer cases, if you need something like that, I don't know why you would the brown LP cases I have have been doing a fine job for decades.

I don't think it takes a big push at all in this forum to get the dogs barkin... if you don't want to spend $1,200 on a case, then -- don't spend $1,200 on a case!! simple solution!!

My j200 lives in the OHSC Gibson case. My other gibbies, the same. My Taylors /Fenders/Gretch -- Ditto! I guess if I was dragging a few of em across the country on my farewell tour, that'd be another thing. but-- yea,, no farewell tour for this cowboy...

NighthawkChris Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I can’t rationalize spending over a grand for a HSC. Hard pass. The “regular” HSC that comes with Custom Shop Gibsons isn’t cheap either. All factored into the price of course. If you spend CS dollars though, I’m sure a case that costs $600 isn’t looked at as a bad deal.
