Heads up

Anyone looking for an old Gibson acoustic case? Seems eBay's normal buy-it-now prices for these cases are awful high. Here's one with at least a nice starting price.

I note that it doesn't seem to be badged in any way. There are a lot of "Gibson" and "Martin" cases from this period that similarly lack branding. That will keep the price down a bit. You never know how these will get bid up. I bought an Ess and Ess (Gibson)case (1960's) similar to this not too long ago for about $175 on ebay, but I've seen even new ones bid up to above the selling price at MF or Guitar Center.

 

The case market is a bit screwy sometimes.

 

My wife tells me that a new Gibson case (J-45 style) that I ordered a few months ago from MF arrived at the house today. I'll see how it compares to the other new Gibson cases that people have said both positive and negative things about when I get back home next week.

 

I assured her there wasn't a guitar in it, but she's a bit suspicious of a big guitar box with "Gibson" all over it, for some reason.
