Gibson Lifton 5 Latch Les Paul Standard Brown Case 1958-1960

A legendary guitar like a Sunburst Les Paul was of course not transported in just any suitcase, because Gibson had an excellent partner in Lifton!

The Gibson Lifton Case with five latches was supplied between 1958 and 1960 with the Les Paul Standard, including the models that later became known as the "Bursts." The case is recognizable by its brown exterior, pink plush interior, and five brass latches. The handle and distinctive design make it an example of how Gibson had its cases built in those days.

The interior offers a snug fit for a classic Les Paul and supports both the body and neck. The soft plush helps protect against scratches and minor impacts. For those who value originality or a period-correct appearance, this case is a fitting addition.

This case is in excellent condition, with five fully functioning latches, a functional accessory pocket, and the Gibson badge on the exterior. A badge from Rhein's in Belleville, Illinois, also adorns the case, a silent testament to the case's early world travels. We also see signs of wear that are to be expected with a used case from this period, perfectly in line with how the famous Les Pauls age!
