Anybody know where I can get an old case recovered?

I've asked around and the material for recovering luggage is too thick for this kind of work - it's very thin material like the stuff an old 60s radio was covered in. I'm going to search around a bit more but may end up storing it and buying a new one. You can see it on the edges of the case - not the green inner cloth.

I would wager you could buy a new one from Thomanns cheaper than sourcing the covering and paying for the labour to fit it... I would wager it would have more value as a tatty original 60s case over a restored non-accurate example anyway.

I agree. I have a couple of old Hofners including a 1959 Club 60. The case for that is battered, looks appalling and sort of lets the guitar down (which is in beautiful condition). I managed to pick up a used modern case that fitted great for £20 and have just kept the old case stored away for when it's ready to go into a museum!
