Yes, mine included the gig bag. I'm sure yours is the same in that it offers zero padding?
We saw a few this year but not a lot. Then again, we had an actual spring - and a long one - this year, so I'm sure the mama's bodies are confused.

That's my friend Greta Brinkman. I bought it from her a few years after that. She initially lent it to me to check out since she never loved it, but really loved the green Carvin she's known for (you can see it in GHS ads). I really bonded with it and ended up buying it from her. That and the Thunderbird I'll never let go.
Well I was there and saw it all firsthand. Played with the Allman Joys then later the One Percent. Got tired of all that craziness and wanted to be boring and live a boring life, which I achieved.
(None of this is true. Other than the boring part.)

Normally I’d encourage someone to pick up a shorty whenever one comes up. Unfortunately, not this one. No mention of a case and that is a problem given how rare these are. Good luck finding a proper case. And for some sad reason the original pickups were swapped out for EMG’s. Everything is crammed into the cavity and the cover doesn’t fit. The original pickups are not included. Hard pass IMO unless someone wants a restoration project. But the ask is twice what would be reasonable for the condition. Sad.

That poor thing is chowdered.
Yeah. I get PM’s all the time from people wanting mine. So the demand is out there for one.
just amused because no matter what I tried to get him to get closer for a better pic, he couldn’t keep/catch up.You look concerned!
Keep calm and Thunderbird on!
BANGING Setup!
It'll be intriguing to see how long it sits and what it eventually goes for.
I'd bet it'd be easier to find a case for than my 52" NR. Might not be original, but VDF.
