Resting a firebird III into a non- Custom shop case ,could it be an issue ?

[marco mancini]

Hello there American brothers  i had  a very unpleasant problem with the original case  of my Firebird  as- for my taste - it wasnt smelling right,  for that reason i had to buy a new one on line as  you cannot do  that from the gibson custom shop dept .

  Those new  cases  have got  a sort of step  just across the vibrola  which to me doesnt seem a problem when i close the case  , they look soft enough  to not get in the way of the bridge and the whammy bar when the guitar is resting  , is that the case as far as you can tell ? and also is that the right way to rest the whammy bar inside it ?

past  pics of both cases the new one  and the original

All I see is a little black square when I click the link. At least from my phone.

Yep dear   Srg.Pepper  it  is a black fluffly square  but i wouldnt want it to came across the vibrola and the whammy bar

The cases typically smell like a vanilla type smell (cause of the glue) 

most of us like that smell. 
alternate case probably not an issue with the nitro finish

The two cases that you saw on the pics  have two different materials , the original one  https://ibb.co/0ZkdLWn  once shut  comes in contact with the fingerboard  which looks like to favor  the smell of rust  on the strings   which in turns spread  to all the case and attacks the guitar as well   , whereas  the other  seems to tackle   this problem better , i  even came to think  that it could be the material of the guitar fingerboard which  favours  this problem   but i would't want to be pessimistic !
