What case for a LP with Bigsby?

[pbekkerh]

I bought a nice original Gibson LP case and was contemplating buying a guitar to put in the case.

To justify this buy, I am thinking of buying a Bigsby as well for that guitar, as I don't have that yet but then I guess it can't go into the case anymore? Catch 22.

Is it enough to remove the arm or can you scoop out some of the foam in the lid?

AFAIK a LP with Bigsby still fits in a regular LP-Case

Just spin the bigsby arm back towards the rear strap pin when you put it in the case and all will be fine. It will make an indentation in the top of the cases plush lining but no biggie.

Man, I love the way you think. Getting the case as the justification for the guitar, and then using the guitar purchase to justify some mods you desire... that's the kind of twisted, BS thinking the rest of us truly understand. I think I'm going to get a nice pack of strings and then tell my wife I really need a burst to take advantage of them.
