…shipping companies standards have really gone downhill…













Nah, this is going to Ray after I strip it of what I want. I got it for parts only.

On another note, is there a record of pickup placement of the new ‘64’s vs the VP’s?

The other thing I’m wondering is if the pickguards are interchangeable between the VP and the 60’s/64

That's the response when I play.

I don't know what that specific amp is supposed to be, my Bugera is a 150W 1960 Marshall Plexi clone, when you turn it up a bit, it's quite good, not too bass heavy which is ok by me.

Supposedly a Vox clone.

nah, where did you read that?...,

The Bugera forum on another platform. Of course, they are 6 string types but said channel 2 has the fuzzy distortion modeled after one of the Vox guitar models. Channel 1 is clean.

Mashing it up into attitude. I miss playing this kind of thing on the upright. It's a workout and makes for blisters if you aren't in practice, but it sure is a blast. Peter Gunn is hiding in there, and when we did it, it started with Peter Gunn.

You need special glasses to see my true form. I wouldn't be the only alien in this group. Right Jeff?

But since you asked.

Thx Marshall, mine's clearly not stock, thanks for posting, yours looks exactly like the one I had with the 70's Bird I bought brand new....

That’s a shame. It’s a decent case. Double stitching at the end caps. Honest wear over almost fifty years.

My absolute favorite case is the one for the ‘13 NR. That thing is rock solid. The covering, whatever they call it, is really tough. I may get a Reverse from ‘12/‘13 just for the case.

My ‘15 case has tears and scuffs. All I do is take it to and from the mountain and to the beach. And I’ve had to reset and glue some nails. Huge drop off in quality. And the case for the ‘21 NR is essentially the same with the different insert.

yeah mine feels flimsy (doesn't even say Gibson)....the old one (like yours) is built more like a 7ender case as is the '13 (in the back of top pic).....have been using this one for gigs with no problem but don't think I would check it in on a plane or ship it without box....
