Good case, decent price - I recommend it

Decent looking ABS case. Seems to be well constructed, latches are good. Bought for an Epiphone LP and it fits great. Just a little tight, but I assume it will protect very well. Certainly no sliding around inside. Interesting that there is a slight ramp leading from the body to the neck support that looks like it would be good for an SG. Nice accessory compartment and no funky smell (that seems to be common in some cases).

they really shouldnt use blind people to assemble these case

i first bought a skb case at 3 times the cost of this and the foam insert fell out of the top when i opened it. i then bought a gator case also about 3 times more in cost and it was so bent up the case was hard to close and would not seal. you could stick 2 credit cards into the latched case between the gaps. i even bought an epiphone branded plywood case and it arrived with what looked like a bullet hole in the bottom bout end. i then bought this for $49 on sale with very low expectations the case was put together poorly, had glue slopped all over the case inside and out, the fuzzy black lining is very thin and cheap and the foam is hard. now the good, it has 6 latches that all work, one is lockable but you can use nearly any suitcase key to unlock it,the two sides come together easily and the fit is tight as it should be, the hinges are well placed and work properly. the outside is hard plastic with a nice uniform finish and what i expected and wanted. the handle is well attached and solid. my epiphone les paul limited custom pro fits like a glove. this is not something i would check at the airlines but it should be fine in the car and protect against kids and dogs in the house if this case had cost $100 or more i would have sent it back, at $49 sale price it is better than i had hoped for and better than the gator or skb. the thing all of these cases have in common is poor workmanship,cheap materials and made in china! after i cleaned up all of the glue it looks quite nice. it is a shame that the companies that build all of these chinese cases rely on the customer to do their quality control work. .

    Purchased this case for my left-handed Les Paul Studio. Guitar fit snugly and doesn't move around when closed. Latches seem sturdy and close securely. Decent amount of space in storage compartment. Adequate protection for storage and local travel. Overall a good deal.

  • Right case at the right price

    Fits my Les Paul like a glove. It's not a airline case but it's great for transporting my guitar locally.

  • Great guitar case for my Ltd. Fits like a glove.

    For a priceline under a hundred dollars, this case is impossibly good quality. Extra latches to boot. Tight interlocking metal bezel seal. Nice material inside as well. Very nice case

    Got this guitar case for one of my Les Pauls and it fits very nicely and is well protected! The case is light weight, nice padding, nice protection for the headstock and has a couple of compartments to put accessories inside of it. Got this case at a great price on sale, should have bought two of them for the price, will buy another one if they are still on sale! You won't go wrong with this case to protect your guitar if you buy one!

  • Great case, great price!

    I use this for an LTD EC1000T. It fits snugly, plenty of storage for picks and straps. It seems durable.

    Does this fit a PRS S2 Custom 22 Guitar?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The PRS S2 Custom 22 features a double-cutaway body shape and a 25" scale length . While exact body dimensions aren't specified, the double-cutaway design typically results in a different body contour compared to single-cutaway guitars. Given that the MGMELP case is molded to fit single-cutaway guitars, the PRS S2 Custom 22 may not fit securely or properly within this case.

    does it fit a Epiphone Les Paul jr.?

    does it fit a Epiphone Les Paul jr.?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The Musician's Gear MGMELP Molded ABS Electric Guitar Case is designed to fit single-cutaway guitars such as the Gibson Les Paul, PRS Singlecut, and ESP Eclipse. Given that the Epiphone Les Paul Junior shares a similar single-cutaway body shape and dimensions, it is likely to fit in this case. However, it's important to note that the Les Paul Junior has a flat-top body, which may result in a slightly looser fit compared to carved-top models like the Les Paul Standard. Some users have reported that standard Les Paul cases are not perfectly suited for flat-top models like the Junior or Special, leading to a less snug fit.
