No sir I'm not sure. Nocturnal had mentioned to me earlier that supposedly there were only 250 made with that body style - Guitar/Bass combined. I appreciate all of the help! I'll keep that in mind and continue my search. No kidding though it's been an every day thing for a really, really long time. :roflmao:

I am always trying to be a bad influence and if that leads someone to a Bird, then all the better. :cool: Glad you enjoyed the "Hamer-Porn" I sent.

I'm so glad you said that! I actually did a search though and found only 1 post here about a gig bag for my Lull T5 (loving it) Post 40969, which referenced a Lull Protec gig bag. I asked Lull as well, problem is, my T5 measures 48 1/2, close to 49" long. The bag they recommended has 47" interior dimension, 50.8" exterior (Gator Pro-Go Ultimate, $150 at Amazon, ouch). He did say it doesn't fit perfectly, but that seems a little short interior-wise. Lull did not offer to sell me a Protec, so I assume they don't have any, my T5 shipped in a nice, but heavy hard case.

So my question is, what is the longest gig bag available? I have 3 (2 doubles), and they are all way too short.

I have a Dean by Rockbag gig bag that was long enuff for my 67 NR TBird(52"). Dean doesn't list it any more, Rockbag might.<Addendum> I also used a keyboard gig bag for a while. Hadda add padding and it was kinda unwieldy, but it worked. Had wheels at one end.

The search function is kind of a joke.

Likely so, I don't use it much elsewhere on the forum either.

I discourage it here because while questions may get asked repeated times, fresh opinion and info always come from the convo - and, as this is one of the very longest threads on TB, it keeps it going, I love it when you all pop in from various parts of the planet with something to say.

I will sometimes search for answers to how to questions- but google is more likely to find a good answer in tb than its search. It’s useful for reviews and for sale- sometimes.

I came close to buying a Pelham Blue one when they produced an inexpensive special run. It was, well..., inexpensive. Kinda Squieresque in build and sound quality. Decided to pass.

I have a Telebird that currently has a baritone neck on it. That doesn't quite count. The finish is mediocre at best, since I did it. Live and learn.
