Protecting my Tbirds!

[lowendgenerator]

So when I was purchasing my birds, I realized that the $110 Epiphone case was a ripoff, but Guitar Center insisted that these didn't come with a gig bag or case. What aftermarket product should I use to protect my birds? I want to keep it on the cheap, a $100 case for a $200 bass just seems retarded to me. Thanks for the insight!

Where are you finding an Epi T-Bird for $200?  I've never seen a new one less than $300.

I bought a Sunburst Epi T Bird Sunday for $250 new at Guitar Center.

Then I bought a Goth Epi T Bird today for $200 used.

That's a good price for a new Epi.  Unfortunately, I'm not within easy driving distance of a Guitar Center.

Aye, they had one of those Green Tag sales this last weekend. I wasn't going to pay anything over 250 anyway, I would have walked and still picked up this Goth for 200.

I do like my Goth bird.

Me too! I went back and forth about which one to get initially, they both sounded great, but the Sunburst one won by a slight hair.
Besides, the Goth that GC had was priced the same, and was a little beat up. As fate would have it, I took home the sunburst and found a used goth in better condition for less money.

Oh and if my wife asks, I only paid 100.

Where does Uwe live? There's got to be an aura of awesomeness surrounding his house.

I've been to Germany. His collection lives on the top floor of a modern and very well protected office. 24h guards (some old Leibstandard Adolf Hitler guys), acces with keycards only, crocodiles and Panzer tanks around the building, some Messerschmits flying over 24/7, of course lots of concrete. Rumours say his office is build bij mr. Tödt who also designed the Atlantikwall. But like i sayd: Rumours only.

But what's even worse: His collection is constantly surrounded by a bunch of German top lawyers.... You won't go in there voluntary!
