Fender Reissue Cases

Exterior
All AVRI strats came with a tweed case with brown leather handles and endcaps.  The center latch was also different between Fullerton era and Corona era cases.  Fullerton era cases had a flaired upper hing on the center latch while the Corona era cases had a square shape.

Interior
The interiors were lined with red/orange fuzzy material.  Fullerton era cases have the typical duckfoot leather pull tab on the interior compartment while later cases have an oval pulltab.  The Fullerton era cases also tend to have a darker red hue to the interior, whereas cases from the Corona factory are typically more orange.  It was not until the mid/late 1990's that G&G began placing oval metal tags on the inside compartments.  Sometime in the late 1990's/early 2000's the red/orange fuzzy interior was replaced with a sleeker crushed velvet type interior.
