Thread Name: Hardshell Case for Small Gibson
Subject: Hardshell Case for Small Gibson
Our own Moonchild has been looking for travel protection for her small-bodied Gibson B-25. I suggested she call Stan Jay at Mandolin Bros. and he said that a case would have to be made in order to have a snug fit. She's getting a gig bag (which everyone should have anyway) but I'm not convinced that a good hardshell is not currently available for a B-25. I gather that the problem is the almost equal size of upper and lower bout in that model (unlike small Martins or Guilds)
Anyone got any ideas, cause a picker needs a hard case if they've got an antique Gibson.
