Title: The Reverse Thunderbird case you need?

Fits every one I own, provides protection just about equal to current Gibson USA case.  There are a few of these on Ebay right now.  This is NOT the same case as the brass hardware equipped Epi.  Better construction, padding, hardware and tolex.

So, this one DOES fit the 60s and 70s TBirds with the big headstocks?

It fits 60s basses easily.  70s RIs are an inch longer and are a tight fit, I'm going to mod mine by moving the body contour pad closer to the end of the case.  Epi case left, Gibson RI right
