trossit Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi Forum, I was going to purchase a new new TKL case for my SG G-310 from a local music store. We pulled a Epi SG from the rack and I was surprised it would not fit. The lower bout of the case seemed to narrow. Are the TKL case not for Epiphone SGs? I was really surprised. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 When I purchased my new 2006 G400 from GC I also bought a new TKL case for it. It fit perfect, and still does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 The TKL case number that is made to fit a Gibson SG is 7826 (good), or 8826 (better, OEM). I would think they would also fit an Epiphone. Check for these specific model number cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You are not going crazy. The same thing happened to me. Took a Epi SG off the rack. tried to wedge it into a just received TKL case and it would not fit. I notice the same issue with the molded SKB cases. Gator makes a Deluxe wood case that fits the Epi SG pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Case fitment has varied over the years even with cases from the same manufacturer I noticed. Although I found the cases made for Epi have been most consistant. I recently posted how the Alleykay case is a perfect fit for the ES-339 which can be helpfulto 339 owners since the designated 339 case has been slow-coming to market availability.

LPDEN Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 This things just happen at 50+ posts a day....... don't worry....... I'm usually sharp up to 100. I'm surely slipping in my age... I think it has to do with my lower 1.19 avg. Maybe I'll be better when it reaches a whopping 5.54 avg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatHead Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I had this problem with my G-310 that I had some 15-20 years ago. When I bought it online, I was given an Epiphone case meant for the G-400, and the 310 just barely fit, and I pretty much had to force it to get it to fit at all. The problem was, as the 310 has a bolt-on neck which was set into the body an inch or two shorter than the set-neck of the G400, the headstock was actually about an inch or two CLOSER to the body than on the 400, making it a VERY tight fit in the G400 case (it almost didn't fit at all.) Compare the 310 and the 400 and you'll see what I mean, the dimensions between the two guitars are way different, the G-310 is actually shorter than the G-400. I suspect that's what the problem is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
