Leon2365 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Is there any case out there that an epiphone prophecy extura will properly fit in without modification? I bought a hardshell epiphone explorer case but the extura does not fit inside it properly. I'd have to rip out about 2-ish inches of the material inside myself if I wanted it to fit inside. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any proper cases out there that the extura would fit inside of? Preferably a hard shell case. It's a $900 guitar so I'd want just a tad more protection for it than a gig bag. Thank you all for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the Extura just another variation of the Explorer and use the same hard case? or lots aftermarket Explorer Hard Cases Or and Epiphone Explorer Hard Case or for a little more just get a Gibson Explorer Hard Case Edited May 19, 2021 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper horn where the switch is on an explorer is at least twice as long. So sitting in an explorer case [cause I did mention that I bought an epiphone hardshell explorer case] that horn is a few inches too long to sit comfortably in the case.

Leon2365 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 So in the end I had to just cut a hole into my existing epiphone explorer hard case and remove some of the Styrofoam inside to get the upper horn of the extura to fit inside nicely. The fuzzy interior stayed so as not to scratch my instrument and all in all, for a DIY fix, I think it's rather nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
