Best experience ever purchasing The SKB case from Sweetwater! The case actually arrived from Phoenix in less than 2 days! I'm so happy and proud to own such a great case for my firebird. Thanks a million SKB & Sweetwater!

P.S.

I love this case! It fits my Epiphone Firebird & my Epiphone Explorer. Super heavy duty, and I suspect it will outlive me.

This is the best soft case I have. It fits my Explorer perfectly. The pouches on the outside as well as the compartment on the inside come in real handy. I would recommend this to anyone.

I bought one of these for my Gibson Firebird V. I was tired of lugging the enormous case to gigs, so this I think this is the best alternative. It is not a hard case and I only use it to take my guitar to gigs/studio dates, and it works just fine. It is not meant to take the place of a hard case, but if you understand that, it's great.
