RatherBeMountainBiking Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I need to buy a new case for my 1968 ES long neck and having trouble figuring out what to buy. I won't travel with it much, and primarily need a case so that it won't dry out while using humidipaks. The Gibson Garage recommended I look at 335 cases and I'm getting similar advice from Sweetwater. What do you recommend? By the way, here is what I'm estimating from online searching and my measurements.

Grog Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Try a Gator GW-335 case at a store like Guitar Center. They seem to have a longer headstock pocket, (at least they do in their Les Paul cases) and they are easy to modify if necessary. I had to add 3/4” on the bottom & it worked well………..
