EpiphoneHard Shell Case for Explorer

This case is seriously heavy duty. It's nice interior-wise - and plush. It's a bit LARGER than my other guitar cases - mainly because is needs to be larger to accommodate the Explorer. So - be aware that this case almost looks like a case for a BASS Guitar when you receive it. There is a bit of room left over - meaning "headroom" above the headstock - maybe 4 inches between the "tip" of headstock and the inside case wall ) - but that's better than having too little headroom - and there's a large capacity storage compartment inside for accessories like cords and such. Overall, I'm very happy that it actually fits my guitar.

This is a very nice case and I didn't think it was as heavy as I thought it would be based on some of the reviews. Sadly, I bought it in the hopes that it would fit some of my oddly shaped '80s shredder Guilds based on reviews on another site. It does not. I cannot fault the case for not fitting Guilds, though, and gladly give the case's build quality, hinges, protection, and latches a five-star review. I'm writing this for anyone who's hunting for a case for any of these '80s Guild models: X-79 Skyhawk, X-80 Swan, and X-88 Flying Star Crue.The Guild X-79 fits, but the case is WAY too long for this guitar and a little bit wide. Additionally, with the case closed, the guitar slides around when moving the case. Yes, it's in a case, but that's not good enough protection for me.The Guild X-80 also fits, but with a lot of extra space. Again, when the case is closed the guitar can slide around making the protection less than desirable.The Guild X-88 is simply too large and does not fit at all.Again, the case itself is very nice and is worthy of the 5 stars I've given it. The purpose of my review is to let others know that these wacky Guilds may not fit as desired. See the attached pics for details.

I’m sure this is a nice case. I bought this for my son. He sent me the pictures back and said that it will not fit. We just bought this epiphone explorer in 2023. I believe this particular explorer line came out in 2020.

This case is very very great quality. I’ve had a lot of them and this one is top-notch fits my explorer perfectly.

I bought this for an Epiphone USA Map Guitar.I have uploaded photos of all views for this case.Overall Length: (closed) 49.25"Case Thickness: (closed) 5" (5.5" with feet from floor to top)Inside Total Length: 47"- 48" (stuffed)Body Cavity Length: 23"Body Cavity Width: 15"-16"Neck Rest: 1.5" wide / Neck Cradle CenteredTop Headstock Area Length: 12"- 12.5"Top Headstock Area Width: 15" - 16"Inside Compartment Length: 8.5"Inside Compartment Width: 15" -16"CASE IS A BIT HEAVY.It probably weighs more than the guitar inside.Case is sturdy when closed and latched.The walls seem to be a thick cardboard core and slightly bendable, but standard in quality construction for a case this large at this price.Not too many choices out there if you are looking for a case with these dimensions.Personally I don't mind an overly large and heavy case but I would be cautious about it getting beaten up if you are on the road or moving gear frequently. Your guitar will be well protected, but the case might get beat up if care isn't taken.Stitching & binding seems to be of the same general quality.Really nothing special about this case except that most likely any guitar will fit inside. Most Bass guitars included. Check the listed dimensions.Plenty of room inside the accessory compartment as well as at the top up by the headstock for just about anything, and a lot of it. lol.There are a couple of factory flaws with some glue marks, a couple scuffs and a small dent probably from packing & shipping.Overall I am satisfied with this stock Epiphone case.Very well padded.1" x 10" x 44" extra padding for neck on the upper inside lid of the case.Nice quality plush lining - Made in China.Standard quality hardware, hinges, handle, feet, etc. - Nothing special.It closes, latches and performs exactly as expected.Only one key for the lock is included inside the case...somewhere. lol.Check the photos for close ups!amazon(DOT)com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B003NAW8MC/ref=cm_cmu_up_thanks_hdrHope this helps!

This case is probably going to be the largest case in your arsenal, but it protects well, feels sturdy and your guitar won't move around inside. It's got a gigantic accessory compartment to fit your cables, straps, two, possibly 3 pedals (or one large pedal/small Multieffects unit) and overall makes me feel like my Explorer is safe. It's heavy, even heavier with your explorer in there. But you play a heavy guitar. Case provides great bang for your buck.

This is a great case. It's suprisingly heavy and big, but I believe that's because it is so heavy duty and sturdy. And since protection is it's purpose, I'd say the heavyness and bulkyness are not only acceptable, but reassuring that it's well built. Very nice looking case cosmetically. I love the Epiphone logo on the outside. Great plush material on the inside with a large accessory compartment. Plenty of space for a few pedals and cables. I highly reccomend this case for any explorer model guitar.

At first glance I didn’t think my explorer was going to fit which is stated in some of the other reviews but it has to be pressed into the corners and it becomes an excellent fit and prevents the guitar from moving around inside the case and overall the case itself is pretty sturdy and seems to be well built

Ce étui rigide n’est pas conforme à la description annoncée ! Une guitare Epiphone explorer ne rentre pas dans cet étui rigide. Dégoûté

Der Koffer ist zwar sehr gut verarbeitet und wirkt hochwertig jedoch lässt die „Passform“ zu wünschen übrig... Ich hatte bereits ein Jahr zuvor den gleichen Koffer und bei dem passte meine Epiphone 1984 Ex top doch bei diesem hätte man mit gewalt die Gitarre hineinpressen müssen...deshalb habe ich mich für eine andere Marke von Koffer entschiedenVerarbeitung top jedoch hohe Maßschwankungen bei der Produktion

Decía que lleva un roze pero hay que mirar muy bien y con lupa para ver el fallo. Excelente, su medida justa

Epiphone Explorer passt.

Fits Gibson explorer perfectly.The case says epiphone and my guitar says Gibson . Perfect for carrying guitar across a city at night.
