    Replacement latches for '50s Lifton etc. case?

    Where could I find replacement latches for an old Lifton/Geib/Stone case? It's likely a Lifton, but I wouldn't know. I just need one, the case is otherwise in fine (but used) shape. Can these latches even be replaced? I wouldn't know where to begin with the rivets. I need one of these...

    Other people playing your guitars...

    Black EDS-1235 in action

    On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJP9ksnkMz/?hl=en. it is the later version with the soft (non-Florentine) cutaways and the mini-6 pickup in line with the bridge pickup of the lower neck (standard-6). Cool stuff!

    Jazz on a 1958-1961 ES-1235 (with mini-6)

    Whilst perusing Youtube: Stephane Grappelli with Pierre Cavalli; Lady Be Good, 1963. The video includes a guitar solo, though not on the mini-6. Here's another image of the guitar - and a song by the guitarist, though the song is probably not from this album!

    There is hope for rock and roll!
