tele52 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 As Dot's no longer come with a hard case and no one seems to have the Epi version in stock, and can't advise when they will be available. Has anyone any experience of Gator or Kinsman cases? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mote Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I have a TKL Prestige for my Lucille. It's a very nice case. http://www.tkl.com/site_item_details.php?pn=TKL%208855&descx=TKL+Prestige+Arch-Top+Semi-Acoustic+335-Style+Guitar+Case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Stay away from the Gator 335 style case. I got one the other week and the base had was cracked badly at the bottom. I put this down to clumsy shipping and they sent me another, guess what, broken in similar place. This was obviously UPS and their disregard for people's items, but I would say that these cases have a design flaw in that area. The case also felt light and flimsy. The epiphone case is far superior, especially the new style. I have one for my Dot and one for my Casino. The former I was lucky with as it came with the guitar. I had to buy one off ebay for the Casino and it cost about £60 with shipping. This was the seller: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/musicmadredhead/?_trksid=p3286.c0.m198 But I don't think they have any left...might be worth asking as it came the next day. These guys are selling them too: http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/epiphone-sheraton/66481 Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I don't know what's up with the Epi 335 cases. I have been waiting for one for over 3 months. I have one for my Sherry, but I want to get another for my Dot. They are excellent cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulsaslim Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 It's a shame they're out of stock. I, too, have been very pleased with the Epi Dot cases (& the fact that they don't try to rip you off when you buy one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbirchett Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I really like the case I got for my Sheraton. It is made by SKB and has the coolest locks on it. Very, very strong. A little pricy tho'. Notice that they are showing a Sheraton in it. Nice touch. http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?id=192&c=82&o=&s=75# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tele52 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks all for your responses. I looked at a Gator case today, not to impressed with the quality, the interior was starting to come detached and the catches didn't have a good feel. I'll look at a Hiscox though Thomanns from Germany say they should have the Epi ones in stock w/c 25th August £65.00 delivered Once again thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
