Tukinator Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Anyone know a good place to get hard shell cases - preferably Epiphone - for the smaller scale guitars? I'm talking about things like the Les Paul Jr. I believe the guitar on the left is the same size as the Jr. I'd reckon it's about 1/4"-1/2" difference in scale, and nearly half as thick. I have an Epi case that came with another guitar that fits em, so I'm pretty sure they exist. I just can't find em. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I got one of these for my '57 Juinor RI and it fits like a glove. The prices on cases have just recently gone up, I think I only paid $59.99 for mine a few months ago, before the first of the year. They are very nice cases though. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Hardshell-Case?sku=517248 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 MF has them, either their own, or Epiphone "Les Paul" cases. Decent prices, too...usually. Guitar Center, or other of the larger Retail outlets, should stock them, as well. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Speaking of "hardshell cases"...I had asked this, on another post...but it was so far down, maybe no one saw it? Does anyone know where I could get an Epiphone case, for a "John Lee Hooker" Sheraton. It's the same case, actually, as the "John Lennon" Casino case, but without the "Graphic!" Gibson has never bothered to answer my inquiries, for some strange reason. They're usually pretty good, about answering my questions, inquiries, etc. But, not in this "case!!" PUN intended. HELP!

Tukinator Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the help, but I don't think they're the same case. I have HSC's for the other two guitars in that pic, and the blue one, (and presumably the Jr. on the way) fit WAY loose. As in they just rattle around in the case. I wish it was the 'normal' LP case, but it doesn't seem to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an '80 Gibson Custom Les Paul that I tried out in the case and it fit like a glove as well. Both of my LPs fit equally well in either the Gibson or Epiphone case.

Tukinator Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Okay, I'm gonna go double check and maybe snap a few pics. I'll actually be stoked if I'm wrong. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukinator Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yep - totally my bad. I just got it in my head that the guitar below was the same as the blue one, and the same as the Jr. Upon further review, this one seems to just be a freak of nature. . . Thanks for the assists.

Tukinator Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice axe - glad it fits. It doesn't though. . .that's the problem. Looks like the standard LP case will fit the blue one and the Jr., but not this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
