Members gearnut Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 I picked up one of those CIJ 50's tv white tele's with a bigsby today. It is very badass. What's not so badass is that it doesn't fit any case the shop had or anything I have lying around. Anybody know what case might fit one of these badboys? I got mine from a local shop, but here's the elderly pic (my camera is toast): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dangerous dan Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thats a nice guitar - even though the pic ain't your's. Tough break on the case !! I'm guessing the vibrato arm when rotated fully clockwise sticks out over the back which is no good. How about a semi-acoustic style case, say 335, it should fit in there and just put a towl each side of the body to stop it moving left and right.

Members BootRoots Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 when I had a bigs on my tele I used on old skb molded case with that foam stuff on the inside. I just used a razor to cut a little spot out for the bigsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bjcarl Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 No idea...just wanted to compliment your guitar:thu: ...that means "good job"! And don't sweat the case...get a gig bag til you find one... BTW...has anyone seen the tele "6120" Gretsch-styled custom? BAD ASS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gearnut Posted April 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thanks guys! It's an awesome guitar. I used it at practice last night. I may swap out the pickups for something a bit beefier. The stocks are fairly twangy and kind of standard sounding (but still good and very usable), but that's my only complaint. On the case thing - that's a good idea to cut out the foam in that section. And yeah, even turned around, the bigsby doesn't fit. bjcarl, I'll have to look up that gretschy tele, it sounds cool.

Members Professor Tom Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Try Gator cases. They claim to make a case for everything. Cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
