If you need one, you need one. This is the right case for your vintage LP Junior or Melody Maker guitar. Fits my DC Junior well. Has a long list of wear and condition flaws, hence the poor condition rating and price. It’s been partially repaired with hardware screws to hold the neck pocket in - which is still worn, a new handle that’s ultra worn but solid, duct tape to hold some seems together and all sorts of other things. I’ll let the photos do the taking. But, this is is functional, with all latches latching. it ain’t pretty, but it’s the real deal, it’s solid and it’s more affordable than most. The tin/copper Gibson badge is long gone.
