More of a "New Gear Day", not a "New Guitar Day".
I saw what I thought was a decent Guild Jumbo case on ebay and thought, it looks OK, I'll make an offer. And he countered with an offer and the deal was made!
I had been sort of casually looking for a Guild Jumbo case for awhile to replace the Gibson Jumbo (TKL) case I have now. It's a great case, and in mint condition, just has the wrong logo on it! LOL!

Anyway...when I received the Guild case this morning, I was pleasantly surprised! I could see under the dust that it was better than I was expecting! And when I cleaned it up...oh man, what a beauty!!! It's not faded black, as I had seen in the orig pics from the seller, it's actually a sort of antique dark brown/black marbled, with a simulated leather-type texture...kinda like an old leather bomber jacket!...and in great shape!!! And with the 5 latches, which I really like!

When was Guild using/selling these? I'd never seen one before.
Years ago, when I got my 92 JF30, it came in a case that had to be duct-tape closed and was literally falling apart and smelled REALLY bad! That went into the trash and I found the Gibson case to store it in. So now, finally, it has a proper case to rest in!!!
Anybody need a nearly-new Gibson Jumbo case? (I think they used this logo on their TKL cases from the late 90's until 2010 or so.)
