In the 70s and 80s, Gibson purchased alot of handles from the Bruce Plastics Company of Pittsburgh PA.....that company went out of business long ago. This auction is for a brown handle that is new-old-stock and appropriate for some of the 70s and 80s Gibson cases. Notice in pics: the style has a rib on the back of the handle, which is correct for certain model years. BRUCE lettering is visible if you look closely.
Please confirm your measurement requirement before bidding,
shown below.
Brown with gold hardware and rivets. The gold hardware has aged naturally and has a good vintage look! Gold plates are thinner type so can be bent just a little bit if you need to follow a curve.
Measuring from center of leg to center of leg is 4 and 1/4 inches...this is a perfect replacement for many years of Gibson cases, when plastic handles were in use...the standard Gibson measurement has been approximately 4.25 to 4.5 inches since the 40's! Please measure your case spacing before bidding; measure from center of hardware to center of hardware.
Comes with four TKL rivets so you can install yourself or have your luthier install.*
* We include rivets that are standard on MOST case depths...if
you know the size length you require you can email us that. If you discover
that you require a different size AFTER you receive the handle, there will be a
slight charge to send more rivets. We want to help you get your case back on
the road and get you making some good music!
