Hello SG freaks! First post here! I'm an old fart who bought his first good guitar in 1970. It was a 1969 Gibson SG Standard, with Maestro Vibrola, and "original" Gibson "Sunglasses" case. At a year old, it wasn't worn in the least, but the SG did rattle around a bit in it. I have a photo on a HDD SOMEWHERE! No idea where... Unfortunately, I sold that guitar in the early '80s... Regretting that sale, bought another only a few serial numbers away in the early '00s. It too had the sunglasses case, and was s'pose to be from '68 or '69. Stupidly sold that one as well! Now hunting for a new one that looks and feels like those two, and will likely have to request a Custom Shop model to fulfill that dream! But, it's highly unlikely I'll be able to get the same case. That's my story. I'm hoping my sunglasses case can be added to the "case history."
Ah, photoshop ruined the details of the info. I just noticed that I'll have to dig up all those photo's and host em here. Although there is a trick that I learned somewhere else that I can try that is very clever that bypasses there watermark and the pics come back! Now I just have to go and figure out where I discovered it.
Is this a Type 4? I think that this case is from the 1960s. I don't have any more details but could provide specific photos as requested. Thank you.
Would this be for sale by any chance? I'm looking for an early 60's (preferably '61) case for my Les Paul / SG if anyone has one for sale?
