Need case recommendation for Les Paul w/ Bigsby

skimballc · 11-18-2009, 12:26 PM

Howdy, new member here with a quick question. I have this Gibson LP Custom that I just overhauled for a buddy, and now that its done I need to find a case for it. My concern is that there's a B7 Bigsby on the guitar. Will it fit in a standard contoured LP case or will I need something a bit roomier? I'm not looking for anything particularly expensive, tough, or fancy... just concerned about the thing fitting in there with the Bigsby.

No need to change cases, my R8 with Bigsby fits just fine when the handle is rotated over the plate that comes from up from the bottom of the guitar. It rotates just for that reason, yours will too!

Here's how it works.

Awesome. That's what I was hoping. Thanks!
