TimBurke Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi all, I am writing to you all tonight from Australia. Apparently Australia does not exist as a region on Epiphone.com and as such it's extremely difficult to locate any authorised dealers in my part of the world. I have an Epiphone ES339 Pro with a hard shell case that I picked up locally 2nd hand and love it. I am considering purchasing a Sheraton II or a Riveria P93 to compliment it but unfortunately no one in Australia will sell me one new with a hard case. I have looked overseas online but no one is permitted to sell me a new hard case for any of these models due to local contract obligations . I won't buy a semi-hollow body without a hard case and no foreign seller is permitted to supply me one unless it is 2nd hand so I am in a bit of a catch 22. Does Epiphone have an official presence in Australia? If so how do I contact them? If I wanted one of the 120 different varieties of Les Paul with a hard case I'd be fine but I don't. I just want to be able to get a hard case for either a Sheraton II, Riveria or an ES355. Is anyone able to offer any advice on how to source one here ?

TimBurke Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi Midtowner, Thanks for your reply! I am definitely going to check this out. I can get a new Sheraton II with the hard case flown from Germany to Australia for about $250 less than what I can buy the guitar alone for here. When you said 'reasonable' you weren't joking. Cheers mate, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starpeve Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I ordered an Epi case for my pr5e a/e online thru Allan's/Billy Hyde- 139 bucks, they apparently are the new Gibson franchise in Oz. I had mine organized as a pick-up from store, but they courier to your destination for the same price I believe. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
