The Epiphone hard case is a perfect fit for my Epiphone Explorer! Plenty of storage for strings and pics, possibly a pedal or two. Nicely padded and covered, excellent protection for your investment.

Over the years I have accumulated several guitars and as it so often happens, they did not come with a case. I have been buying these Epiphone Explorer cases to protect some of my more unusual guitars like my Harmony Explorer, GRD Explorer, Epiphone Moderne, Ibanez Iceman, and so on. All fit exceptionally well. Also, I want to add that my Ibanez Ergodyne EDC 710 bass fits in the Epiphone Explorer bass case whereas it did not fit it in the Ibanez Ergodyne case! My only complaint is that some of the more recent ones come with an offensive odor. They need to be opened and aired out for at least a week or two before use.

I was surprised to learn that when I purchased my 1958 Korina Epiphone Explorer, that it did not come with a case. I looked at other cases at guitar stores and didnÆt find one that seemed "Just right" for my new baby. I ordered the Epiphone case and it was everything I thought it would be. A nice hard-shell exterior (Mine has the word "Epiphone" in Gold on the bottom corner and not the giant "E" thatÆs shown in the picture) and a plush lined interior (That includes a large storage compartment for your straps, strings, cables etc...) Make for the perfect combo to protect your instrument. I was disappointed that none of the three Gold latches had a lock. The middle latch does have a place for either a combination or a key lock. If your like me, you keep your precious Axe's locked up, to keep wandering eyes and hands away. The case, with either an instrument in it or not is heavier than I imagined. Unlike some of the newer cases on the market today, this one does not fit so snug, that there are imprints of the top of your instrument on the top of the interior. It does hold your instrument firmly with no sliding, and it is versatile enough to hold both guitars and basses alike. For $71.00, this case is worth every penny. The folks at music123 are super friendly and your satisfaction is guaranteed.

I bought this case with my epi explorer and its great. Better to part now with the cash than part with your best friend later!

Its a good case for any guitar. It also has a small cabinet where you rest the neck of the guitar where you can place your picks, whammy bars, spare strings, etc. Only problem I have with it is, it doesn't have much roof room for the toggle switch. When I close the case and lock it, the top of the case presses against the toggle switch. That puts pressure on it, but other than that, it's a great case.
