Totally worth it!

When I got this case i was totally amazed. my SG Special fit perfectly and it's very durable. I threw it by accident one day, it slammed into the ground with a HUGE thud, guitar was perfectly safe and the case was a little scratched. This is worth every penny. it protects, it fits quite a bit of extra stuff, and it just looks badass.

Great case, and an extra bonus.

FedEx just dropped the case off and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Fits my guitar like a glove. There's a chemical odor that came with the case, but I had heard about that before. Tough exterior and very cushioned interior, I highly recommend this case to an epi sg owner.

Also, the added bonus, was that candy came with my order. No joke. Laffy Taffy, atomic fireballs, and a peppermint candy. Truely a "wtf?" moment.

Good case, but be careful reading reviews

First off, this is a good case at a good price. I'm completely happy with it for my epi SG. Im seeing reviewers claiming that this case is as good or better than the more expensive Gibson case. This is simply not true. The Gibson case is much more solidly built with obviously higher quality materials. Now, I'm comparing an epi SG case to a Gibson LP case, so there are obvious differences in shape and size, but simply comparing quality, the Gibson wins hands down. The plush lining for example on the Gibson is like that of an expensive plush toy from a nice store while the lining in the epi is more reminiscent of a carnival prize. The Gibson has 5 latches that lock tightly, and the epi 3 that are not so tight. The epi does have one lockable latch, so no worries about it coming open if you don't want it to.

All that said why 4.5 stars? Because its a great Case. The Gibson is a better case, but at an appropriately higher price. I would absolutely buy this case again for my epi SG.

great case, better service!

Yeah the title pretty much says it all. The Sweetwater service was absolutely awesome! And the case came in and fit my Gibson perfectly!

EPIPHONE 940-EGCS Case for EPI NIGHTHAWK

Great fit for the EPI NIGHTHAWK. Tough enough for routine travel and gigging...substantial protection. Has a strong chemical odor when first opening...needs to be open to the air for several days to allow odor to dicipate. Overall...great...good price...I would recommend if you are looking for a hard case.

Great case at a great price

Epiphone is supposed to be the little brother (or is it sister?) of Gibson, so why do they sell better cases for their guitars? This is a very fine case, even more so when you look at the price. It's got a nicely textured exterior (not cheap feeling, like some cases), very strong and heavily chrome-plated latches, and a nice padded leather handle instead of some cheap molded thing. Inside, the gray plush lining is extra thick, and I've used these cases to store a wide variety of SG-style guitars. It's sturdy without being heavy, feels like it's built to last, and it looks great too.

Perfect!

This is a great guitar case just got it today and already lovin it it's leather covered, the inside is very soft to protect your guitar, and it locks shut so nobody breaks into you case and takes your guitar. the only reason I rated it a 4.5 Is because it's a little on the heavy side but don't go buying a Gibson case for $150 when you can get this great case for $70

Great Case!

I have an Epiphone G-400 Left-handed guitar and needed a case for it. Sweetwater was the only on-line retailer that offered the 940-ECGS case. This case is designed for the left-handed model of my guitar. They had the case in-stock and shipped it immediately. Great service and an equally great case. I'm pleased with the quality of the product....nice fit and solid protection for travel.

Epiphone 940-EGCS

Everything seems okay.

Could be a much better fit

Bought this for a used Epiphone Faded G400 SG I recently bought (the guitar is a 2007 model). The case has a VERY tight fit. I have to push the body of the guitar firmly to get it to sit properly. Also, when seated, the neck of the guitar does not sit against the two rests provided for it. I have to place a cloth under the body of the guitar to raise it to the correct height so that the neck is not at an angle.

This case may fit some of the Epiphone SG line well, but not mine.
