    Tweed thermometer Telecaster case. My Surf Green Tele would look so good in one of those.

    But, it ain’t gonna happen, my old case will do just fine

    I don't get case purists. As long as the guitar is protected is all I really care about.
    Don't forget the gold piping, tho.

    They have been making the tweed Thermometer case since the ‘50s. This model has also been copied, a lot.
    Check Rondo or Amazon.

    I'm still using the case that I bought back in '82, when I bought my Tele neck.

    It's hanging in there, but really has seen better days.

    Nice to see this new case available, and at $179.

    The new case looks great. I missed the guitar shaped Fender cases and they're even better in tweed. Would be interested to find out how light they are. Gorgeous Teles guys!

    I love the looks and easier to carry guitar shaped cases like my LP case. But, nothing stacks better than the traditional Fender flat case.

    I bought this when I bought the Tele and I had them ship the guitar in it. Pretty sure I could drive my car over it without effect.

    I don’t know. They do make the better quality Fender cases and they also make thermometer cases.....

    I remember a Telecaster forum post I think it was where a new G&G thermometer case scratched a guys new quality Tele. The case had a staple sticking out on the inside and he did not notice it until he noticed the scratches.

    Too bad.
    Nevertheless, normally G&G is top notch. I hate that typical bad smell from fareast cases and G&G are nitro safe.
