Go ahead :lol: I just never bought a new case before...mint maybe...here's my story

I've been searching for a case for my newest build...based on a Two Tone Burst from the late 50's...

Tweed was first in line...then this Fender AVRI case came available at a good price...

Over at guitarhq/Vintage Guitars they wrote:

...From mid-1959 to 1961 the exterior of the Fender case changed. A new material called "Tolex" was now used, in a coffee-with-cream type brown color. Tolex is a rough rubber-like compound that was much more durable than tweed. Brown leather ends stayed the same. The interior burnt-orange plush used from 1958 stayed until about 1961 when the interior of the cases changed to a dark orange plush...

It has "wedge-it-in" firm support...confining movement on all four sides and extra padding top and bottom... and a CAUTION tag...the Snap for the Pocket Cover is nice...
