Why an R6 & R7 have a custom shop case instead of a lifton?

[proanti]

Anyone know?

 

[Cogswell]

cool

 

[proanti]

Ahh yes, I see great minds think alike!

 

[D'Mule]

Why does an R7 have humbuckers, but an R6 has P90s?

The black CS cases are better for the guitars with thicker necks ........ sometimes ,if an R6 ,7 or 8 is shaved too thin at the CS ( under .885 ),they have no choice but to put it in a Lifton case.

NOOO... Come on.....
Thats not true... All of the guitars fit in the Lifton.. No problem

When you buy a Fender Relic you get the Case acording to the year of the guitar ......

But gibson... OH NOOOO We cant do that !!!! :hee

All Historics Should come with the Lifton... Not just the 59's and 60's

 

[Browneyes]

I have all my historic customs in lifton cases. I have my bigsby 57 in a lifton too. No problem.

It keeps them cooler.

A lot of people don't know this, but if you get an R6 or R7 with Brazilian tortoise side dot fret markers, you get two Lifton cases, and a gig bag.

Only R9s and R0s get the Lifton. For the top of the line case, you have to pay for the top of the line Les Paul.

If you want to call a Lifton "top of the line". In looks, but that's about it.

+1 - I hear this all the time and do see the construction differences....but man.....are people gigging and THROWING their guitars into the trunk of their cars and Throwing the cases onto the stage and piling amps and lights and PA's on the case while packing for gigs. Come on!

If the 50's guitars didn't all suffer damage from being in a Lifton why did that change now?

Yes....the black case is better....NO the Lifton won't cause you problems.

 

[Gold Tone]

Oh yeah.......

Cool

 

[Humbuck]

The current Lifton type cases are crap as far as I'm concerned. The CS cases (or just about any other case) are much better.

Tood ...Bro ..so you didn't realize I was ?...........aww nevermind :hee :applaude :lol

 

[Sean French]

cool

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[Sean French]

Anyone know?

Because Gibby only sends the R9 and R0 models with the Lifton RI case.
The Lifton RI's look cool but,the black historic cases offer much better protection.

 

[TommyTouch]

My Les Paul gets put in a case, then put in a car and taken somewhere (Gig, rehearsal, jam, etc) three to four times a week. I just don't trust the Lifton case. The only support for the neck is one place near the heal. I used to roll my guitar strap and use it to support the headstock by the accessory compartment. I now use an SKB 56 guitar case. Not as cool looking as a Lifton, but more peace of mind.

How Many times do we have ot go over the same thing ....:dh :dh
