Is this the original case for 1966 Mosrite Celebrity?

[Desert Surfer]

Hi, I saw this case on eBay. The seller describes in the ad: "a vintage 1966 Mosrite Celebrity II guitar case"

Was this the original case Mosrite used for 1966 Mosrite Celebrity? Or it was an after market case? I thought shaped cases were used for Mosrite Celebrity Series. Could both rectangular and shaped cases were used in 1966?

I know this case won't fit my other regular Mosrite guitars so I have to be certain.

Thanks for your helps in advance.

Perhaps worth a try for 100 bucks.

The seller:

I am parting out an entire 1966 Mosrite Celebrity. The guitar is 100% original and was in perfect working condition before I removed the parts.

...ouch, that hurts!

Yes this is the early Mosrite Celeb. edition case. It is original.

Thanks Bob and Veenture for your replies.

I will go for it. If I get it, it will be for my 1967 Celebrity III.

it will be for my 1967 Celebrity III.

Do both type Celebs have the same body measurements (i.e. thickness) ?

Yes, both types of the 60's Cleb's are the same measurements. Good luck!
