Steve Green Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have a Gibson ES 339. My uncle bought it new in about 2008 or 2009. When he passed away in 2011, it went to my dad. Dad's house burned down in September of 2013. The Gibson was in it's case -- and the case protected the guitar extremely well (The COA & case candy is still in great shape). I had to replace the tuners and nut, but now the guitar is out of the shop and plays and sounds perfect. My problem is that the case itself is TOAST. Between the fire & the firemen's water hoses, it's a goner. I'd like to purchase a new Gibson case for the guitar, but can't find one anywhere. I can get an Epiphone 339 case from Amazon or Sweetwater for +/- $100 bucks, but I kinda hate to put a Custom Shop Gibson in an Epiphone case. I can find hundreds of 335 cases, but they're too big. I can also find hundreds of Les Paul cases. Does anyone know if a Les Paul hard case will fit a 339? I'd hate to buy one, and then it wouldn't fit. I contacted Gibson's world famous 24/7 Customer Support . . . But gotten no response. Thanks. Steve Green Natchez, MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drog Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 They won't fit in a les paul case. You can order the proper case through a dealer that sells Gibson guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have a CS-336 and the case is slightly bigger than my LP cases. I think a 339 has the same size body as a 336 so a 336 case might also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
