Hey all,

When I got my 52 goldtop, it came in a 5 latch 50’s case. I’m thinking a 59-60 burst case. But, as usual for me, I’m noticing things I haven’t seen on many other cases. Any insight is much appreciated.

The bumper castors on the bottom of case near neck, are closer together. The proximity of the Gibson badge, a few other little things. No lifton badge on the inside. I don’t own a burst, so it’s here if that conversation needs to happen. Ty all for crushing.
