EC GUITAR FORM FIT CASE
EC GUITAR FORM FIT CASE
The official ESP hard shell form fit case. Fits all 6-string and 7-string ESP and E-II Eclipse and LTD EC series guitars, including both right- and left-hand models. Other compatible guitars include the ESP and LTD James Hetfield Iron Cross, the ESP Kirk Hammett DC and LTD KH DC, the ESP Alex Skolnick and LTD AS-1 series, the Ben Burnley BB-600, the ESP Gary Holt EC and LTD GH-600 and GH-200, the LTD Neil Westfall NW-44, the LTD Nergal-6, the Ted Aguilar TED-600, the ESP Will Adler and LTD WA series, the ESP Jeff Hanneman EC and LTD JH-600 EC, the ESP RZK-II, the LTD Gus 600 EC, and the LTD MKH-7.
The ESP cases are very solid and usually a great fit. The two BW-1's I have sit perfectly in their cases.
But...
I just bought the BK-600 VSSB and it came with this case. While the shape inside is a perfect fit for this guitar, the depth of the case is not. At all. While the regular EC range and their thinner bodies would fit perfectly into this case, the BK-600 and it's full thickness body (2" thick + arched top) sits too high for the cavity inside this case. The lid has to be forced shut which means it has to be bent over the height of the guitar to do so. This puts a lot of pressure on the bridge and controls. I can't see how this is not going to eventually cause some damage to the switch and volume & tone knobs and even the bridge as it is let alone if the lid cops any sort of knock.
I've been told this is the correct case for this guitar, so I feel like I should probably be looking at the SKB Les Paul cases just to have some peace of mind over the protection of this absolutely beautiful guitar.
