I had the same issue with the protector case hitting the side. I ended up returning it. I actually love the modern brown China case.

Great comparison review. I would have liked you to have included the 2015 Gold rectangular & 2018/2019 (Pseudo Carbon) Vectra TKL cases as well as the 2017/2018 Aluminium HP Flight case. I appreciate that these are different style but... I recently bought a 2018 Standard HP with the TKL Vectra case and I must say I'm really impressed with both the guitar and the case.

I recently bought a new Les Paul R9 from a very reputable Gibson authorized dealer, and the case I received only has one buckle latch which is right by the handle, and all the other latches just latch but do not have the buckle. Maybe that makes sense. If not, and you’re interested in seeing it for reference, let me know and I can post a few pics.

That R9 should have a brown with pink interior historic reissue case. Let’s see some pics!

I think the brown/red case made the guitar look older as a trick of the eyes with the interior choice

How much clearance is there under the top of the headstock, with the Protector? A 70's original or reissue Les Paul will have a 14 degree headstock pitch while a 50s guitar and any of the "R" series that copy them, will have the original 17 degree pitch. That means the 50s style guitars will tilt back more at the headstock and possibly be touching or resting on the case bottom if there isn't enough clearance. That could translate into a broken off headstock.

You still have good clearance with the 14 degree headstock pitch 👍🏻

Keep in mind that you are comparing a Norlin Era case to the models built after that. The headstock angle during the Norlin Era is different than now, or prior to that period. I believe modern is 17 degrees, compared to 14 degrees.

I have the deluxe that came in that 70’s case. The headstock still rests on the bottom of the case with G and D tuners touching. Always messes up the tuning. I don’t keep any Les Pauls in those old cases anymore.

@@guitarswithdavid4422 I have an original Gen 2 chainsaw case with the red interior. Do you think you can use them to transport a new R9 Gibson Customshop Les Paul? I placed it into the case and it seemed the neck was not really supported except at the beginning where the neck meets the body. I also noticed when you close the lid it puts pressure on the top of the guitar/neck, pushing them down. Do you think it is safe to use them for a modern reissue of a 59? I was thinking of a new case like you have reviewed here for my R9, not so sure after seeing your tuner touching the side though? Thanks in advance for any help!

@@cash6489 that case should be good for shipping, however if yours is as you described I wouldn’t take the chance of shipping such an expensive custom shop in it. I current have a gen 3 chainsaw case that fits my R0 perfectly. If you only have that one hard case be sure the shipment is fully insured!

Gibson should sell the sg and les Paul standards with hard cases, you don't serve fine wine in a beer glass, maybe Gibson could make those in USA and serve them up.

There’s a strange thing happening….. I just bought a Les Paul Standard, 2021, and it came with the Costa Rica case, but with the loop handle (instead of the briefcase handle, like the showed on your vídeo)…. Look the recentlies unboxing videos, that you can see that. Sincerely, I was very disapointed with the loop handle…. Looks like not durable and frail….

I'm wondering if you ever tried the Protector case with a real 1970s LP. The 70s LPs have a wider headstock than that reissue deluxe you tested with so wondering how bad a real 70s would be pressing into the side.
