Gibson case help... all Gibson owners please read

[iplayloudly]

I got this case with a Les Paul studio recently. The case is obviously not for a les paul, as it is way too big. I looked around the net at pictures of other gibson cases, and the only one that looked even close was an SG case. So I assumed that's what it was for, and actually sold it to an SG owner, then went and bought myself a les paul case with that money. Well the SG owner came back and said it didn't fit his SG either. So I gave him his money back and now I'm stuck with this thing. Here are some pics with inside measurements... Can you guys go measure your Gibson cases and tell me if this fits your guitar?

15" at the widest part...

11" at the middle wide part...

41" long...

Also it is 3" deep at the bottom end.

I don't have my case in front of me, but looking at yours I'd say that's for a 336, 339, Midtown Custom sized hollow body. Slightly smaller than a 335.

I used to have a midtown custom a few months ago. It was the same tan/pink style too. I seem to remember that case being bigger though.

Possibly for a Howard Roberts model as well

Doesn't look deep enough for a Howard Roberts...I would guess 336/339 was the right answer.

maybe a 137?

My guess is it fits a semi hollow, not sure if that is an ES336, ES339, ES335.

I'd guess it is for a semi hollow.

I just bought an SG and my Gibson Case looks nothing like that. In fact, it looks almost exactly like the case I got with my Gibson VM LP a few years ago. I thought some Gibson cases could house a LP or an SG but I can't confirm that because I sold my LP over a year ago.

The reason I thought it was an SG case was because of the bottom end. If you look at my case, the bottom is fairly flat. The SG cases I saw online were the same way. All other Gibson cases I have seen so far are more rounded.

Here is an SG case on ebay... to me it looks the same as mine...

Here is a 335 case. It is round on the bottom...

Here is a 336 case... also round

Here is a 339... a little flatter but still doesn't seem as flat as mine
