Thinking about getting one of these for my Les Paul 50s Tribute:

Kaces Hardshell Vintage “Pink Lady” LP Style Guitar Case

Doesn't appear to have the arched top. :hmm

Thanks Tom! Kaces ad shows a picture of a carved top LP shaped guitar in this case so hopefully my guitar would fit.

Did this case have an arched top? I can't tell from the photos

Check with the retailer to see if the case can be returned if you're guitar does not fit.

Ok,thanks! I just thought the Kaces case was similar to this Gibson case I used to have.

I have no doubt that it might hold an arched top Les Paul.
But a 50's brown case for any vintage Les Pauls after the first year or two should have an arch in the top of the case [like your black case].
That arch adds strength and protection.

Ok,thanks for your help Tom.

I got the Kaces case today. It is a nice case and it does have an arched top. My guitar fits like a glove and the headstock doesn't touch the bottom like my other case. Oh,and it's cool for cats

Nice guitar nice case & nice cat, I was thinking about the Tokai/ Lifton 59 for my R4 more of a Cali shape maybe!!:hmm

Thanks! Yes,that would be a great choice for your guitar.

Wow !!!! that is VERY nice which year is ours??? From time to time Crazy Parts has very nice zip cover case for sale, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake? Did you changed anything on that beauty?

I like it better than Gibson's case with the huge "Gibson USA" logo.

Kris Ford · Mar 15, 2017

Nothing wrong with that, and YES, much nicer than the brown Gibson one!

What was the damage on such thing, and do they offer that same one for a SG? I looked and appears not.:hmm

kwest · Mar 16, 2017

Sorry,I just copied the photo above of the R4 in a Tokai case to illustrate what that combo looks like.That beauty doesn't belong to me. I just own this tribute and the Kaces case. The black case I have turns out to be a much better fit for my Les Paul Melody Maker,The headstock of that guitar doesn't touch the bottom of the case.
