Donny: You decided not to keep it?

I’m so surprised!
Somebody needs to grab this!
Just as Shakeylee said, my 68 (the 88th built) is truly the GOAT for me. Would never sell it.

It's OG; OJ is for a D-35 from that particular period!

Ha! Donny has an even shorter attention span than me.

That case is a dead ringer for the one that has wrapped my Yamaha FG230 since 1970. It is showing signs of wear but still does the trick. Also a plus 1 for the KLH speakers.... got a pair of Model 17's from the same era (1970) that are still working fine. The D25 looks excellent. Someday one of its 12 string siblings needs added to my small herd..... Enjoy it!!

Yep I have a KLH Model 24 setup, I've had it for years and it sounds really good!

Hello

You talk about chipboard case - but I always thought they were heavy cardboad - naturally w vinyl covering - and in this case also w lining.

I always thought "chipboard" meant a product that was pressed together of a mixture of wood chips and glue.

Are there other definitions for the word "chipboard"

Just trying to learn english for some unlikely possible future use.

Thank you.

I think you may be right in a technical sense (though I really have no idea), "chipboard" is just the common term. Some people say "cardboard case".

Yep, I found a (very expensive) guitar that's something of my holy grail that I'm trying to get ... they come and go fast from here as many of you know LOL.

 

[Sats]

Very curious as to what your ‘holy grail’ guitar is. I hope you get it!

When I first hear the term chipboard, I knew of a hard shell case which basically meant some kind of sturdy, puncture resistant plywood. No one ever tried to define a chipboard case beyond a synonym for "not a hardshell case". No one cared what it was made out of because the point was that it was not going to provide any meaningful protection. No one ever called a gig bag a case in the 60's when and where my definitions were formed. I cannot recall a chipboard case for any other instrument besides guitars. The band and orchestra instruments had hard cases although some of the smaller and cheaper instruments had a case made with hard plastics, not wood. My guess is that the rental market wanted hard cases.

So no luck on the ‘68 I take it?

Yep I gave up when the guy stopped responding.

I think chipboard always means cardboard, and is made from paper. That's the only definition in the online dictionaries that I use, Merriam-Webster and American Heritage.

The harder material made from wood chips is called particleboard.

On behalf of the English language, I apologize.
