codename Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 My BJA Jr. case doesn't say where it's made so i'll assume it was made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 My SG standard hardshell was made in Canada, and that was around January this year I think? My "post flood" (July 19) SG Std's case is also Canadian...the leather tab on the storage box cover is imprinted "Gibson EH" But my 8/29/08 V's case is a TKL .

aphawki Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Mine was made in September of 2010 and the case for mine was made in Canada as well...what changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Does anyone else love the smell of a new case? Neo says he thinks it's glue, but I don't care, that is a good smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Neo says he thinks it's glue, but I don't care, that is a good smell. Well, some clarification is in order - eh? The New Case Smell is one thing. The aroma from the case of my Custom Shop double neck was something else, entirely untenable. I was at the store when we unpacked it - all three of them were like "Oh... God!!!!!" As we ooohhed & aaaahhed over the new EDS-1275, the smell of the open case did not dissipate. Finally had to close it - amidst jokes about huffing spray paint and failing drug tests at the powerplant. Mike, the manager, has opened a million new guitar cases in 25 years. He said that was as bad as he's ever seen, er - smelled. Told me later he actually looked it over a little to see if it had been screwed up and hastily repaired. Expecting it to lessen in intensity over a few days, it did not. So I put it in the garage, opened it up, and let the warm air do its thing. Several days of that did the trick, now it smells like a NORMAL new guitar case - and I kinda like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Looks like a post and run by the OP. I have noticed Gibson cases that read Gear as opposed to USA or Custom, but they look like TKL to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 There is some association between TKL of Canada and Cedar Creek Case Co. of Virginia (USA). It is my understanding that Cedar Creek is the "Custom Shop" for TKL, and also the U.S. warehouse and distributor. So if they make the TKL custom cases they may also make TKL OEM cases there. When I was shopping for a new case for my 1947 L-7, my TKL U.S.A. contact was Cedar Creek Case Co. of Virginia. So any case made in Virginia at the Cedar Creek facility for TKL, would therefore be "Made In U.S.A.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Pffffttttt......!!! Mine was like sticking your head in a bucket of formaldehyde. thats the exact same thought I had when the brand new case for my EJ-200 arrived......formaldehyde and rubber cement. it's Chinese but a great fit, and the smell eventually lessened to where my eyes don't literally water.........but the odor HAS seeped into the guitar to a degree, maybe it'll pass, I sure hope so. my 2010 Canadian SG Std. case is marked "Gibson USA" and smells of fresh nitro, no vanilla, etc. my 2008 Flying V came in a Canadian TKL case, also marked "Gibson USA", and has never had ANY smell, none. I don't care where the cases are made, as long as the body fit and neck angle/support are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
