What kind of case houses a Celebrity?

There were two cases available for the Celebrity. One is shaped such as for an archtop/acoustic style guitar made by Victoria Luggage Co., the other was the long rectangular one and may have been by Victoria Luggage as well. I am not certain about the maker of the rectangular one. Would you like to see pictures?

Mine doesn't have a case.
Is there a case that you know of that will hose it all warm and snug?

My Celebrity, as shown in my avatar, has the Victoria Luggage case with the yellow interior. It is a wonderful case and lightweight for its size.

Sarah, do you think a Gibson 335 case would fit a Celebrity? Those might be available on eBay.

I think it would fit. I believe the main difference between a Gibson ES-330 and ES-335 in internal. The ES335 has a block running down the center whereas the ES-330 is fully hollow such as a Celebrity.

Incidently, I had a Fender Coronado case that fit my Celebrity beautifully. So, there are other guitars of similar size and shape. I think any case for a thinline, double cut, archtop guitar will work. Washburn has one as well.

I know you said "case" but this should do you fine and possible protect your guitar even more.

They are pricey but it has been argued these offer more protection than a guitar case since the guitar is strapped into place and not prone to shock. These gig bags use foam and ABS panels so your getting the lightness of a gig bag with the protection of a case.

Been planning to get one but unfortunately my Hallmark 60's Custom will not fit any of the bags they offer.
Might get one for my tele.

I did say they were pricey. But considering that a real good case costs about the same (or more) from companies like G&G and TKL. I would buy one for the ease of portability. When you have to take public transportation a hard shell case can be a real PITA. And the Monocase bags are waterproof and have a ton of room for other stuff. But I know what your saying.
