Description: from RetroGuitarParts vintage guitars + parts. archtop and jazz specialist! click on "see other items" to check out our many new and vintage USA guitar parts!Here's a late 60s to early 70s Gibson thinline case, with purple interior. It is in rock solid very-good condition, with some "normal" handling wear and edge wear ...it is vintage very good condition overall especially considering it is a case that is over 50 yeas old. Please look closely at all pics...I show the edge wear. Top and back are solid...the case is a rock with some natural relic appeal...looks great.The case has had some pro-level restoration work done on some edges. On the back, the bottom seam has been professionally restored while maintaining as close to originality as possible....on the back, some tolex has been reglued, and bare wood in that area has been clear-coated to protect it. it is rock solid and has a nice original relic look as well. A new handle has been installed that is "vintage correct" with its 70's era BRUCE logo. (I know from experience that in that era, the handle mounting brackets are mounted in a plane that is not straight, which often causes the handle to break over time. It is also quite difficult to find a handle that will fit in that imperfect space. The new-old-stock BRUCE handle I have used retains the original axle pins. The handle is in there a little tighter than the original and tends to want to stand upright all the time...see the pics. Nevertheless, it works pretty well, looks good, and should last a long time if not abused.)Inside, the purple lining is in very good condition with good color and knap, and the original hinge covers are intact. Looks good! The neck rest is in good condition and is soft. All latches are in working order and ball feet are present.Overall the case gets high marks for functionality and looks as a vintage case....I like this one! It came from the factory with an es335 but is correct for many models around 1969/1970, including es 120, 125, 335, 340, 345, and 355.Shipping to usa 95.00
