    I'm not an expert, but I see you're not getting a lot of replies.
    I think the TG 50 has the same body size shape as the TG 150, as well as the other 16-inch Gibson archtops, such as the ES-175, and that cases for those would likely work for yours.
    Here's an earlier, similar thread about cases for the TG-150. Elderly still carries the "Small-f" that thread links to. It, or a similar case, might suit you, and I bet they'd know it it will work.

    That's correct, the TG-50 had the same body dimensions as most (if not all) of Gibson's full-depth 16" archtops, acoustic or electric. Elderly's Small F case should be a good fit. A dreadnought case should also fit the body if it's deep enough, but make sure that the accessory compartment leaves enough room for the headstock on the short tenor neck.

    This listing no longer exists. but thanks,
    I tried one from mf on advise from the previous owner
    and it wasn't even close..
    It does fit in my taylor dred case though.
    i think i'll take it down to my lgs and hands on
    fit it to a case. buying on line is too risky.
