weeler Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'd like a case for my precious Alleykat (I don't want to knock the headstock off on my travels to rehearsals). What would be a fitting case for it? I am not able to find the Epiphone original case anywhere around here. I assume LP case are too small, ES-335 too big... etc. Maybe some Ibanez Artcore case would fit ok?! Any other choices? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 SKB cases can be a bit on the pricy side, but they are amazing cases and there is a size to fit just about anything. I mean it, these cases are airline proof and just about the best protection you could ever ask for for your instrument. http://www.skbcases.com/ Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeler Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks for the reply. :D OK. I guess I'll just have to go around the shops to find a solution. I just thought if there who had a similar problem in the past. Actually I'd need a case for my Rumblekat bass too! Similar deal = odd shape, original cases not available... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epinder Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I would email Epiphone and they should be able to tell you which case fits your guitar. Here is a page from MF for the JP/Emperor case. You can see they show the interior dimensions: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Emperor-Hardshell-Guitar-Case?sku=540810 And here is the WildKat case: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-FlameKat-Hardshell-Case?sku=540835 The EPI cases are decent cases for the price charged. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Epiphone make a special case for the Wildkat and Alleykat. When I ordered my Wildkat, I had to get the dealer to order me a Wildkat hard case too and it took 3 months to arrive but it was worth it when it came. If you browse around shops you will have virtually no chance of finding an appropriate case cos the Wildkat/Alleykat is such an unusual size, and shops are not likely to have the exact case in floor stock , but they can be easily ordered in, you just have to be prepared to wait. It is a NICE case. You want one, trust me. Ibanez Artcore is a similar size but a different shape and probably won't fit. I wouldn't risk it, and besides if you've spent the money on an Alleykat you might as well get the real deal case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Sweetwater carries the "kat" case as well: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EHLCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy77 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I got mine off eBay for $90 shipped, but that was within the US. I thought there was also a decent case that I saw a bit on eBay that was a good fit for the Kats and some Jay Turser guitar. Get the Epi case if you can, they are great.

weeler Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Looks like the AlleyKat is nowhere to be found around this continent... but my Rumblekat bass might find a case to move into. For AlleyKat, I'll go for a ES-335 case of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 A music store can order you an Alleykat case from overseas easily. Just ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
