Epiphone Les Paul Standard & Custom Case

Plush interior with well-designed bracing and supports. Seems well constructed, overall. A perfect fit for my 1980s Epiphone Les Paul Studio.

My Epiphone Les Paul Jr. fits in it VERY Nicely. Snug fit inside the case padding. I am confident the guitar is well protected. Very nice internal “Fur.” Generous and well placed storage compartment. Attractive. For this review, I went OCD on the case, examining the stitching and the riveting and screws of the attached hardware. I’m quite impressed with the workmanship of this made in China case. The external screws which hold the inside storage compartment crossmembers are flush, sturdy and have no gaps. The four latches and two hinges riveting and mounting are flush, sturdy, and well alligned. OCD: One of the latches has two small scratches on it….not particularly noticable….nothing you’re not going to get on your own after a trip or two…Unless you’re OCD. The handle is well placed, apparently with center of gravity in mind. It is placed such that when the guitar is inside the handle is comfortable, the heavier body carried comfortably lower. OCD: There is a SMALL gap between one of the handle mounts and the case. The handle is mounted at the cases curvature…not noticable…unless you are OCD. I went OCD on the case trim. I TRIED LIKE HECK to find the place where the lower trim began/ended and could not find it. I tried by sight and feel and could not find it. I went OCD on it. Can’t find it. There is a slight OCD “misalignment” in the upper trim. You can see and feel where it starts and ends. Probably something a fine leather craftsman could disguise. Pretty normal, and unnoticable to us non-OCD types. This case has a lock. It works. I’m not OCD; Whoever thought a lock on a guitar case matters…was. I guess it’s a nice “was somebody inside my guitar case, but they didn’t steal my guitar” indicator. Can’t imagine you’ll ever use it, but it works.
What a very nice case. Your Epiphone will fit snuggly and be well protected inside its well padded furry interior. A nice looking exterior. A nice value. Well crafted. Gives me the impression that Gibson was particular about the vendor who manufactured it. Seems like they really care about a product with the “Epiphone” name prominently displayed on it.

ottima custodia per chitarra elettrica. ben realizzata con materiali di qualità. resistente ad ogni tipo di trasporto, dall’auto ai mezzi pubblici all’aereo. magari poteva pesare un pò meno compromettendo però la robustezza della custodia ed il suo prezioso contenuto. l’imbottitura interna è adeguata all’uso ed è sufficienemente avvolgente così da mantenere la chitarra ferma nella sua posizione. utilissimo l’ampio vano per gli accessori che contentogono tranquillamente l’accordatore, il cavo da tre metri, il panno per la pulizia e la tracolla. imballata adeguatamente, la custodia è stata recapitata nei tempi promessi.

I am blown away by the quality of this case! It is well-made, well-padded, looks terrific & fits my Epiphone Les Paul like a glove, (and my Les Paul looks terrific in the case as well). I only wish I could have found fitted cases like this for my Stratocasters & Telecaster. This is just a terrific case. When I first opened it I immediately noticed that there was no strong ‘new case’ odor. (I usually air out a new case for a day or two before putting my guitar in it. There was no need to with this case.) I really appreciate the ‘safety latch’ on the opposite side from where you open it, this looks like added protection from the case inadvertently flying open. The case also has a locking latch for security, however please note that it only comes with one key – another key would be nice, just in case (no pun intended). A nice touch is the very large, well-cushioned carrying handle which allows you to maintain a comfortable grip. The metal feet on the back & the bottom of the case are also appreciated – You can actually stand the case up on the floor without leaning it on something due to the feet on the bottom (I’d be worried a pet might bump it an knock it over though). As stated, the interior is very well padded, and it features a wonderful covered compartment in which to carry accessories such as picks, a tuner, a strap or an instrument cable etc.
I really like the fact that because it is made for a specific model guitar, the Epiphone Les Paul case is no bigger than it has to be. You’ll be surprised at how compact it is. Not only will this easily fit in the ‘way back’ of my SUV, but it will also easily fit in my convertible which I can’t say for my large ABS cases that I keep my Telecaster & Stratocasters in. Granted the large ABS cases have lots of bins for storage inside, they are also heavy & more difficult to carry around, where this case is much easier to carry & has enough storage for just what you need to take along with your Les Paul Guitar.
For the price paid I wasn’t expecting such a nice guitar case. I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended!

I have this thing where I like protecting my guitars in hard cases because I don’t want them damaged. I work hard for my money and I hate buying cheap crap that don’t last. This case was less expensive than the off brand hard case it replaced and it’s a brand name too. Fits the LP Plus Top Pro like a glove and there is plenty of room for extras. Very durable exterior and soft plush interior. I will be buying more for the others.
