Got my new Gibson case ... oh... wait... it's not Gibson...?!

[darkmonth]

I just bought my new Les Paul case.

I wanted a Gibson official... but at ?200 I thought it was a damn lot steep price wise.  So I asked around.  Turns out Gibson cases are made by a company called TKL.  They actually sell them without the Gibson logo.  Yep.  The EXACT same.  No Gibson logo.  That's the ONLY difference.  So I thought, ok... price... Turns out ... ?90.  That's ?110 less than the SAME case, with no Gibson stamp.  That's it.  Same interior, same exterior.  All high quality etc.  But no Gibson logo.

Anyways... TKL.  Gibson guitars rock... but they RIP people off when it comes to replacement cases.

its Gibson ripping of people...

they sell the cases to gibson with the Gibson stamp and then Gibson sell's them again for that high price.....

seems logical, but still overpriced.

nice, no label is the best way to go, instead of getting ripped og by companies selling their name.
