As many of you may remember, my last (and best) guitar purchase was a deal I got on eBay for a sweet 24-fret Les Paul DC Standard. I got this baby for a grand straight up, and it came in perfect condition. To date, it is still my favorite guitar (although it shares considerable time with my G&L ASAT Semi-hollowbody with Seymour Duncans!).

The only trouble is that it came in a beat up case (not in the “beat up vintage” sort of way, more like the “beat up crappy” sort of way). I’ve lived with it for awhile, but ultimately decided that my baby really deserved to ride around in a bit more style.

I looked a number of options, including a used Gibson case on eBay - but ultimately decided to go with a case from Gator Cases. Looking all around, I just decided it was the best deal in terms of quality and visual appeal. It even included the old style “flamingo” color interior!

Funny thing now is - I’ve actually had a more compliments about the case lately than the guitar…which boggles my mind, but at least it validates my decision!
