LongMan Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We recently had a lot of questions for Casino/Riviera/Sheraton/ES-335 cases. Just wanted to share my experience with the original Epiphone 940-E519 case (http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_koffer_sheraton.htm). Today was my moment of truth: I had to carry around my modified Riviera the first time. Would it fit into the Epiphone case, especially with the new Bigsby B7 on it? Well, it does not only fit, but it fits perfectly: The cushions for the guitar rims have a gap at the bottom of the case, probably meant for the bottom strap look. But they made it a bit broader, so that also the hinge and the arm of the Bigsby (which are overlapping the guitar significantly) do fit in perfectly: On the top end of the case there's plenty of room for even bigger headstocks: The accessory compartment has more than enough room for my leather strap, tuner, tool set, cable and 2 sets of spare strings. This case may be not the cheapest available, but I do highly recommend it, especially for Bigsby equipped guitars. It does fit as well for the ES-335 and the Sheraton II.

jcwillow777 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 They are nice cases, when you can get them. I had one on back order for 6-7 months and finally gave up. You definitely need one for a Sheraton, a lot of other 335 cases won't work for a Sherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyGibson Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cool Bigsby. Did you put that on yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongMan Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cool Bigsby. Did you put that on yourself? Yup. It's a chrome Bigsby B7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_edward Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just out of curiosity, is there a tag on that case that says where it's made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongMan Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Just out of curiosity, is there a tag on that case that says where it's made? Mine had a little sticker on it saying "Made in China". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdsmith3 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The Epiphone cases are really nice, and a relatively good value. When you first get it, there may be a chemical odor, but it goes away (after you get permanent brain damage from it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinlander Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My Sheraton fits perfectly in the one Made in Canada from Yorkville YEC-6HES, so would the others Epi semis...and the smell is not that bad YEC6HES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
