Hi all

Has anyone got a picture of an original 1987 SR4 case? Outside and inside would be great - thanks!

That's a mighty fine collection of Rays you have there!

No pics I'm afraid but I can tell you I bid on Ebay on an immaculate 1987 trans red 2 band with clear pg, with crazy birds eye maple neck - it had a tear drop shaped MM case with orange plush interior - as you can see I didn't win it - it went for around £1200 and I found out subsequently the case alone was worth possibly £350.

Thanks! I'm always looking out for the late 80s/early 90s Stingrays - my favourite period for EBs.

Prices seems to be a bit all over the place... There was a real nice 89 trans red at the Gallery in London recently, advertised for £899. Don't know what it went for though.

Unfortunately none of mine (apart from the 92 sunburst) came with the original case, hence my query.

Hopefully someone will have some pics!

This guy has a 1985 Ray for sale. There a ton of pics, and if you scroll towards the bottom, there's pics of the case.

Yes, I did see that one. But it that case the original one? It doesn't say...

I checked with the seller - it's not the original case.

Man thats an evil Ray collection! Are you sure its legal? I have an 88 Ray. I've always assumed the case was original. Are you still after pics of the case? I can sort some of mine if thats any help???

Thanks, that would be great!

Hope these help mate. Just ignore the stuff inside the case. I wouldn't know if its original or not but I've always assumed it was.

Thanks, that's very helpful! By the way, what do you mean 'ignore the stuff inside the case'? That's a great looking Ray!
