The case is in excellent condition: the exterior covering is intact with honest wear, the hardware latches and hinges are functional, there are no slipts or separations of the top and sides, and the interior retains its shape and finish. The handle is a replacement that utilized the two original handle mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone Case Co. supplied Gibson with cases throughout the 1950s and into the early 1960s, and these five-latch examples are the correct period cases for the ES-350T and Byrdland — two of Gibson's most significant thinline archtops. The Byrdland in particular, introduced in 1955 as a collaboration with Billy Byrd and Hank Garland, was Gibson's premier short-scale thinline archtop and carried a substantial list price. A correct, original case for either of these instruments is increasingly difficult to find in this kind of condition. For collectors pursuing a complete, period-correct presentation, the case matters as much as the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\"\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/vintage-fender-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Fender electric guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eFender Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/gibson-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Gibson electric guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eGibson Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/amps\" title=\"Vintage and used guitar amplifiers at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Amplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/effect-pedals\" title=\"Vintage and used effects pedals at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Effects Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy.
