Re: Model 7 case

I don't know if Charvel/Jackson ever made a case specifically for the Model 7 - I know that it was "a bitch" finding a case for mine.....My recommondation is any rectangle case (not violin case type cases) that is divided into sections - section 1 a rectangular area for the guitar's body - section two - could be divided in to mini sections for picks, strings, and be the support for the neck and section 3 - the area for the guitar's "headstock" ! I have a gator and it is perfect and supports and protects the guitar perfectly ! Just look on ebay.....Good luck !

Re: Model 7 case

The case that came with my model 7 was a "chainsaw" like style Jackson case (slightly different) that had the protection at the head of the case to fit a reverse head. It may be different with different dealers, though, since cases were not "included" with import guitars. The one I owned, though, was an endorsers guitar and shipped directly from Jackson with that case.
I sold the case to another member here (became useless to me when I installed a standard pointy) and I would be glad to ask him if there is any kind of id on the case.

I use a Jackson style rectangular case with room at the top for standard or Rev head. My Model 7 fits cozy in there.

Re: Model 7 case

This is the case that came with my model 7. It fits perfectly, but I don't know whether it is actually the original case. as you can see, the actual body shape available is for a reverse headstock, but a pointy body? Don't know if they only had one case for reverses and not one specifically for the 7

<font color="aqua">My black Model 7 is the original case and it's just like the one above. I'm thinking they used these for the Model 88's and predator as well? </font>

Re: Model 7 case

that's what i was thinking at first. Well, it is if i knew what a predator was. but.., I have a strange recollection that the 88 came in a tweed case??? I saw it reviewed back in the 80's in a guitar mag and tweed seems to stick in my mind.

Re: Model 7 case

Right you are. I will never ever be able to get one of those- they are gorgeous. when did they start making the 88? Was it in 88,and when did they start doing the 7? chicken... egg... Which came first? The case, or the 7?
