Christopher_K Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Are these on back order everywhere? I can't seem to find any. The product description for the 339 says that a hard case is optional. Does Gibson/Epi sell these directly or is optional in that you have the option to purchase an unofficial case elsewhere? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretter Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I believe that they are on back order everywhere. I've had a Gibson case since January. I've checked all the sites that I know of, none are in stock at this time. I ordered the Gibson case for my Epiphone because the Guitar Center site showed it as "Just Arrived" leading me to believe that they were in stock. I called GC customer support and they have tols me @ mid March. I'm assuming they will all be available around then. I'm not even sure that my Epiphone will fit in the Gibson case because of the longer headstock. I didn't think of that until after I had already ordered. D'oh! I may have to take it back as soon as I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungus Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 They are probably coming with the next Shipment of DOT guitars that is supposed to ship sometime around the 16th-23rd. I have a DOT on back order with GC, and they are giving me a case for it because of the screw ups with my order.....when I looked yesterday it said shipping on the 23rd.....of course that date could slip ......

Black13 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 not to worry they fit just fine here's my Epi 339 in my Gibson 339 case What about the other way around? Will the Gibson ES-339 fit in the Epiphone case? (I realize this is a dumb question, but I just wanted to revive this thread anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yes they will. What about the other way around? Will the Gibson ES-339 fit in the Epiphone case?

Black13 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yes they will. Thanks, JasonG. So their body shapes are totally identical. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 100%. I actually use a Gibson 339 case for my Casino Coupe. The case also fits an EPi 339 as well as my WIldkat. The same the other way round! Thanks, JasonG. So their body shapes are totally identical. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
