Epiphone Case for Firebird

Me llegó tras bastante espera por no estar en stock. Al sacarla, oí un ruido metálico en el suelo y resultó ser una de las patas de aluminio que se había salido y no pude volver a ponerla. No augura nada bueno de cara a la durabilidad de las patas. Por lo demás, está hecho para la Firebirdy y le va como un guante. El tolex se ve resistente y los cierres correctos sin más. De haber una opción más barata de otra marca, la hubiera cogido en su lugar.

Pros:
The case is able to take quite a few hits, as it is made of wood, and will protect the guitar from almost anything , short of a bullet.

The cushioning on the inside will reshape when something is pressed against it, which is ideal for the chunky pickup-switch that I added to mine.

Has a nice vinyl finish, with no visible imperfections on arrival.

The handle is cushioned, which makes the weight easier for the hand to cope with, although after carrying it for 10 minutes with a mahogany guitar inside, it will still become uncomfortable.

Cons:
The hinges are cheap and not very well-attached, so the lid wobbles left and right when not secured and will sometimes refuse to close because it has mis-alligned itself.

The lock included is a simple one. I once misplaced my key but was still able to open the case with a piece of copper wire.

The case is extremely bulky compared to most standard strat-oriented cases, and can be difficult when, for example, walking in a narrow hallway, or up a steep slope/stairs, although this problem is to be expected when one owns a firebird.

Overall this case is nothing special, but will do its designated job well.

I brought this for my gibson firebird T. I went with this because as far as i can see its the same as the Gibson one with a different name and is about £40 cheaper. Fits the guitar like a glove offers very good protection and has a large inner covered compartment.

It is a very long case but has to be for the guitar it houses.

In essence its a guitar case and it does what its supposed to.... as long as you don't mind the word Epiphone instead of Gibson its perfect
