ZuWa Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I picked up an '82 Custom and it came in this case. From what I can gather this is a case from between 1970 - 1974. Is that correct? The case is VERY light. The silver GIBSON is slightly prismatic when shifted under light. The inside is purple, not red. Four buckles. Did I say it was light? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have a 74 Ripper with a case that was just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuWa Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have a 74 Ripper with a case that was just like that. I've seen a ton of 80's LPs but had never seen a case exactly like this before. Thanks Searcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 My 1975 Les Paul came in a case somewhat similar to this, same logo, same color interior, but... it had the extra latch on the hinge side by the cutaway horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all of the input guys. I guess it's safe to say that my '82 Custom didn't originally come in this case! It's a great case actually. It's very light and the guitar fits snuggly inside it's purple interior. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have a 76 grabber with the same colour. I think the 82's came in those hard plastic cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuWa Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I agree. I've only seen early 80's guitars in those "protector" cases too. This looks like an early 70's case, one with only four latches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
