Bachbird fit in this case?

[Basvarken]

God damn it, I already bought it. Great, now I'm going to have send it back or resell it. F*&k!!!

On another note: Whoa, yeah, that Explorer case is HUGE!!!

Just wait till you got it. Remember; mine fits!

Yes, there is hope.

Yes, it fits!!! At first it looked like it wasn't going to but then I realized that once I pulled the styrofoam out I would be able to push the styrofoam closer to the edge a bit. If that makes sense? I ripped it all out, flipped it over and reshaped it a bit so it would now fit an NR bird. Basically, I did the same thing as you Rob. Now it fits perfectly. I've been looking for a case for over a year and every time I would find one it would happen to be when I had no money and they were always kind of expensive. The lowest I was finding was $89.99 but the shipping was always around $29.99. I got the deal of century on this one, it was $39.99 and the shipping was only $9.99. It said it was an open box item so I assumed it would be scuffed up a bit but it was brand new and still in the original shipping box. I'm so stoked I got such a great deal.

Very cool! Now I wonder why my case didn't work...

There are 2 different ones by Epiphone (that I know of). One's interior length is 48 inches long and the other is 51 inches long. I guess mine is referred to case #39. I'm assuming that is some sort of model number because every time I see one that is 51 inches the product details for it will say Epiphone Thunderbird case 39. But mine barely fits. I had to make it fit, not just shape wise but length wise. But obviously the 48 inch case won't fit no matter what you do to it.

I've got that same case as the one shown in post #2.  I keep my Greco reverse TB II in it.  Nice case, fits like a glove, and waaaay cheaper than a Gibson case.
