1960’s Kustom Thinline Electric Case

Description

I occasionally come by some rare cases. Stuff like Gibson L5S and Fender Starcaster. But this is much more rare. Ross estimates that only 2000-3000 guitars were built during Kustom’s brief run in ’67/’68 and those numbers are reportedly generous, not to mention that it’s likely a number of these were sold without case. All of them I saw online were thinline hollowbodies (shown here with case) which seem to conform to this case, measuring around 16″ lower bout, 12″ upper bout, 11″ waist, and 42.5″ length. Appears to be made by the same maker as 60’s Fenders and could be suitable for other brands of guitars from this era. Good vintage condition with all latches and hinges intact, with some rubs on the tolex but should clean up well. Handle has been replaced with a similar style. If you’ve got one of these rare Kustoms, here’s a proper home for it for just $125.
