1965–1969 Gibson Firebird "Picnic Basket" Case

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1965–1969 Gibson "Picnic Basket" case.

Produced for the non-reverse Firebird, cases of this type were nicknamed "picnic baskets" for their vibrant plaid interior, reminiscent of a picnic blanket. Originally produced between 1965 and about 1969, the picnic basket is considered a highly collectible, period-correct accessory for mid-1960s Firebird guitars.

This particular example is 100% original and remains in excellent condition. The handle and all latches function as intended, and the case has suffered no structural damage or repairs. The interior shows only average wear consistent with age and careful use, while retaining its distinctive plaid lining.

An increasingly difficult-to-find vintage Gibson accessory, this case represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors seeking an authentic and highly desirable companion for a non-reverse Firebird, or for anyone looking to complete a restoration.
