aren't the dimensions similar to a 335? I'd check a local gibson distributor

Frank...

If the dimensions are that of a 335, I picked up a SKB case at my local Guitar Center that was collecting dust and that they made me a heck of a deal to get it out of stock. The latch broke a year later, but the cases carry a lifetime warranty and all I got from customer service is where can we send the latch and I had it in 3 days.

Otherwise ebay is always a place to start... 335 type cases...

Here is a very nice Gibson case...

and another one in 3 days, may go cheaper during the week...

Thanks for the info guys.. The Country Gent has a 16 3/4" lower bout. The other models are about 1" too small!! Thanks again for your information and prompt response. Frank Woodard

Frank,
Probably the only place to maybe find a Gibson case is on Ebay. Otherwise you will probably have to get a Gretsch case. The Gretsch case for the 17" thinline models should fit, I would think.

Frank,
You might also try calling Elderly Instruments: 888-473-5810. They carry a lot of cases. They may have a generic case to fit, or maybe they can order one.
