Epiphone EDREAD Case for Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Reviews

This case has a professional style and the interior padding and material is like that of a much more expensive case. Works well with my Takamine GD-30E 12 string.

GREAT CASE! WILL FIT THE GUILD JUMBO JUNIOR, IF LOOKING FOR ONE TO FIT THIS GUITAR
FITS SNUG, BUT NO WORRYS,MON!

Epiphone cutaway acoustic fits perfectly in the case. High quality product. Glad I purchased this case. Highly recommend.

Very nice case. Seems durable and made with quality. Love that it has feet on multiple sides depending on how you need to set the case.

Perfect fit for my Epiphone Inspired by Hummingbird. Nice case.

Genuine Epiphone. Very nice case inside and out. Highly recommend to protect your guitar.

For me, these cases are top of the line. I wouldn't have another.A decent Epiphone acoustic shouldn't ever be carried by anything else!p

I needed a specific case because I had purchased an Epiphone Masterbilt Excellente from Sweetwater, and although I thought I might have a case to fit it, the body depth of the Excellente was deeper than most cases could accommodate. I went back to the Sweetwater site to get the specs of the guitar and while I was there I saw that Sweetwater recommended the Epiphone EDREAD as a certified fit for the Excellente. I admit that it had a nice look to it, with the leather trimmed top, the leather wrapped handle, and the gold hardware, but I bought it for the "certified fit."

Well, Sweetwater didn't steer wrong, because it fit my Exccellente like a glove. The interior is very plush, the neck is cradled very nicely with room underneath for a strap to be stowed there, and the storage compartment is large enough for any essentials that would be needed. This case is not air travel worthy, but would work well to protect your guitar for more local gigs, and certainly for keeping the guitar safely protected at home (I always use a case to protect my solid wood acoustic guitars specifically so that I can control the humidity - I use the D-Addario Humidification system).

It is a little on the heavier side of dreadnaught cases, and it is a bit bulkier to accommodate a deeper body, but still, I would recommend this dreadnaught case to anyone.

Now, a shout out to my Sweetwater rep, Jon Mostacato, because whenever I order, whether with or without his help, he always contacts me to make sure everything went well. He's a good knowledgeable guy and I am grateful that he's my rep!

The EDREAD case fits my Masterbilt Texan perfectly! Sturdy and offers great protection for the guitar!

I bought this for an Epiphone IBG Hummingbird, which fits perfectly. This is a nice case, although I'd prefer if it were all black instead of black and brown. I'd definitely buy it again if I needed another.

lOVE IT is perfect for the guitar and very sturdy

Great fit. Nice style and brown trim. Says epiphany, but I plan to alter it to say epiphany.

I purchased a hard side case for my new Epiphone Hummingbird guitar and could not be more pleased. The guitar fits like a hand in a glove accuracy for fit quality.

Fits my Hummingbird like a glove. I just love a good hard case. When it comes to my Girls. Nothing but the Best. I treat a guitar like a fine Lady. Only the Best. I named my bird after a fine Lady who was in my life. Who loved me and my guitar playing. I call my Hummingbird Sharon.

This case is very durable, and a great value for the price! Fits my guitar perfectly!

Fits the Epiphone perfectly. Shipping was super quick. Had zero issues.

A really well made solid case. It would take a lot of abuse to damage the instrument

This case has the looks as well as it fir my epiphone dove nicely. Everyone comments on the case

Wonderful fit for my Acoustic Guitar, Outstanding Service and Fast Delivery.

Excellent craftmanship. Epiphone really out did themselves on this one. Fit my son's 15 year old Epi dreadnaught like a glove.

Ordered this beautiful case on a Friday afternoon and received notice it shipped that night-received that following Tuesday! Was nervous my grandfather's guitar wouldn't fit after ordering and received the BEST customer service and reassurance. Customer service, shipping, and quality is unmatched!

Always a pleasure doing business with Sweetwater and John Tonello. This case is perfect for my Epiphone Hummingbird acoustic guitar. It looks better in person than the online picture. For the price I wasn't expecting such a nice and sturdy case.

Very nice case for my new Epi Hummingbird. Fits like a glove

beautiful case fits my guitar like a glove

Sturdy case for Epiphone 12-string. Well-mde, and not as heavy as older cases, which is a bonus. Nice two-tone design, with nice, plush padding that cradles and really protects the finish on the guitar. Plenty of storage for all your accessories.

Super plush and very well made! Would buy again without hesitation.

Recently purchased a Epiphone Starling Acoustic. While the guitar is a beginner,
it was so nice I wanted to protect it and Austin suggested the EDREAD. Nice choice.
Well made and protects the guitar well. This case would probably work well for much
more expensive guitar models.

Strong, sturdy case. Looks good too. No issues whatsoever.

Arrived super fast and was utterly impressed with the case itself in the quality! Fits my Dreadnought nice and snug!

Ordered this case for my Masterbilt Texan and it fits perfectly. The case is much better than it looks in the pictures and it looked pretty darn good in the pictures. Feels and looks very professional and seems rugged enough to keep my expensive toy safe and sound.

This case is very good. Fits perfectly and there is a lot of protection inside. I recommend it. The only negative side is the weight with guitar inside, a little heavy. Other than that it is awesome!

Guitar fits real good. Well made. Looks good.

Bought for the Epiphone 12 String Hummingbird. Fits it like a glove. Looks awesome

This case is beautiful inside and out. I honestly did not expect it to be so nice for the money. Would recommend.

I bought this case to cover my new Epiphone hummingbird 12 string guitar. I can tell you that it certainly is a "certified fit". It's very well made, it's durable, and it's the perfect case to protect my hummingbird. High quality at an affordable price. You can't go wrong with this case. I'm very happy with it, and you will be too. Thank you Sweetwater

I do not own this case, but was interested in ordering for my Epiphone PR-150. Looking at the listed models in the description that fit I. The case, it skipped from the PR-100 to the PR-200. After measuring my 150, I can confirm this case will in fact fit the 150 very nice! Will be ordering down the road once I get some money saved up.

The Epiphone guitar case I received from Sweetwater is fantastic, but what was even more fantastic was the service. I ordered the case on a Sunday. They said it would arrive the next day at no extra cost. Early that next day I received a voicemail and text from Matthew, one of Sweetwater's sound engineers. He said they were a little backed up, and I would get the case the following day, which I did. That was still incredibly quick, and getting a personal contact from Sweetwater was great and an indication a very high level of customer service.

THIS IS A VERY NICE CASE ... WELL BUILT AND SUPPORTIVE.

Purchased for an AJ size body. The fit is perfect and the overall quality of the case is quite good for it's price.

Great case ! Couldn't ask for more, and as usual service was impeccable!

Got this for an older guitar I inherited from my father (1974 FT-150). I made my selection by dimensions listed in the description, perfect fit. Very well built case. This case also seals well and I had no issues with creating and maintaining the proper humidity level for the guitar.

I needed a case for my Epiphone PR-350 that I bought new back in 1990. The guitar looks and most importantly sounds great for being 30 year old Epiphone. I called my Sales Engineer Zack and he suggested the Epiphone Dreadnought Hardshell Case. The guitar fits well in the case. Now I feel more at ease taking it out of the house and it won't get damaged.

Thank you, Zack

This case is better than I thought. The workmanship is really good. My new guitar fits perfectly.

This is my 3rd Epiphone EDREAD Dreadnought Hardshell guitar case. Over-all, this is my 10th Epiphone premium hardshell guitar case as each of my Epiphone guitar has a hardshell case. I have always been impressed by the quality of these cases ever since I bought one in January 2013. This particular EDREAD case is perfect for the following Epiphone Masterbilt models - DR-500MCE, AJ-45ME and the Limited Edition AJ-500RCE. The impeccable quality of these cases complement the craftmanship of the guitars inside them. Just look at the attached picture. They are sturdy at the outside and yet gentle and plush on the inside. I am confident that my beloved guitars are safe and protected. They also offer so much value. I carry them around with the Epiphone name on it with so much pride. This won't be my last EDREAD case as I look forward to getting the 2 new and would-be classic Masterbilt dreadnought models - the Epiphone Excellente and the Epiphone Frontier. I am also going to buy another one of this case when my Cort Gold - D8 Dreadnaught in Light Burst arrives in late November 2020.

After talking to Jeff at Sweetwater to ask him which case would fit my Epiphone Masterbilt acoustic guitar, he said this one would fit and sure enough, it fits like a glove. Nice construction too. Thanks Sweetwater!

I am amazed at the quality of the Epiphone guitar case. I was first surprised at the weight of it. It provides a snug and secure environment for my new D212.

I will make this short and sweet. I have a Taylor, a Martin, an Epiphone DR-500MCE and now the Epiphone AJ-45 w/Case. All of my guitars are nice, but this AJ-45 Guitar and case are my new favorite. The AJ-45 has excellent tone and a real low end that is about the best I have personally played. The guitar is well made, perfect in its construction visually and easy on the eyes too. I did not think I would like the matte finish on the guitar, but ends up that I "really do" like it. These Masterbuilt Guitars from Epiphone are really an unbelievable value. While I am aware that there are differences between the Gibson J-45 and Epiphone's AJ-45, I can't imagine that the Gibson would justify the extreme difference in pricing. For $... the AJ-45 is the "Treasure Chest" in excellent guitar value. Unparalleled.

Is a perfect fit for my Washburn Comfort G70SCE. My awesome Sales Engineer, Drake Sobehrad, made sure with the people in the shop that this was compatible with my guitar, since the Washburn case was on back order.

Made with very high quality materials. The outside is soft and very good looking, while the inside is just as fancy. The handle is very comfortable. Gold hardware has me feeling like a million bucks.

A luxurious, high end feeling case that is not too expensive and will definitely have you enjoying the finer details. It does say Epiphone on the side even though it houses a Washburn, but there is nothing a couple of stickers cant fix.

The Epiphone case is as good....or better than my Gibson cases. I purchased this case for my grand daughter's Epiphone Dove, and the fit is spot on. The padding on the inside is plush, and will protect the guitar for many years.The outside looks very sharp, and the brown edging makes it look great. I would recommend this case to any one looking for a case for their Epiphone guitar. (or any guitar for that matter)

Sweetwater should list the Epiphone Masterbilt DR series among the guitars that work with this case. I had to comb through the user reviews to find out. That said, I couldn't be happier with the case! My guitar came originally in a hard-sided gig bag with zippers. It was lightweight and utilitarian, but I found out the hard way why one shouldn't use zippered cases! I got to a gig with five minutes to spare, and found that I'd apparently managed to jam the zipper before leaving home. I was forced to literally tear the case apart with my bare hands to play the show! The Epi DR is a slope-shoulder 14-fret dreadnaught, which is a tricky fit for 'generic' cases. Thank heaven this case came along!

I've since purged the zippered cases from my collection! Once bitten, etc.

This case is well built for the price. The fit, the padding, the clasps, and even the looks have exceeded my expectations. My epi aj15 has a new happy home that it should've had a decade earlier (and two headstock breaks & repairs earlier!!) Do yourself a favor and buy this instead of just using a gig bag. It's a lot heavier, but that gig bag will not stop your headstock from breaking when someone bumps your guitar while it's leaning on a wall/amp/etc.

Extremely well constructed. Looks great, but functions even better. Heavy duty protection for your guitar.

This case fit my Epiphone Masterbuilt 500 perfect.
It really holds the guitar in tight with plenty of padding for protection. Love the way it looks too!

Excellent quality , well built , great looking case. The Epiphone Mastrbilt DR-500 MCE fits perfect in this case.

Great quality case at a good price. Good fit for my Epiphone Texan (Peter Frampton) Model.

The case is well built and very attractive. The interior is plush and very well padded. The brown trim on the outside gives it an elegant and expensive look. Overall I find that the case is a great value which far exceeds it's price. I can strongly recommend it without reservation. I also want to thank my sales engineer James, and all the Sweetwater team for their excellent service and knowledge about all the products. Great Job!!!

An early well built case. Chris at Sweetwater was extremely helpful as my first case had a couple of rivets loose and he got me a new one shipped out right way with no hassle at all. That's why I use Sweetwater all the time for all my gear needs

Fits my guitar perfectly.

as always SWEETWATER IS SWEET the epiphone case for my hummingbird pro ( also from Sweetwater) is excellent - it is beyond plush even the outside is like some smooth thick hide the brown piping adds to the look - your instrument is well protected here as always thanks Sweetwater your the best

Great guitar case fits my Epiphone
Ltd. Ed. 1963 J-45 perfectly.

This is my 3rd Epiphone EDREAD Dreadnought Hardshell guitar case. Over-all, this is my 10th Epiphone premium hardshell guitar case as each of my Epiphone guitar has a hardshell case. I have always been impressed by the quality of these cases ever since I bought one in January 2013. This particular EDREAD case is perfect for the following Epiphone Masterbilt models - DR500MCE, AJ45ME and AJ500RCE. The craftsmanship of these cases complement the craftmanship of the guitars inside them. They are sturdy at the outside and yet gentle and plush on the inside. I am confident that my guitars are safe and protected. They offer so much value. I carry them around with the Epiphone name on it with so much pride. This won't be my last EDREAD case as I look forward to more Masterbilt dreadnought models coming out in the future. Hopefully, the Hummingbird and Dove!

I ordered the Gator dread case at first but found it was a tight squeeze at the headstock. This case fits perfect. The construction of the Gator case was molded plastic while the Epi is more old school design with nice detail work but probably not quite as durable as the Gator. Riley helped me with the exchange and kept me posted on the shipment. Thanks Sweetwater team for a great experience.

But I should have expected something of high quality from Gibson/Epiphone more than happy with the case I would recommend Delvin everytime.

just received this case today from sweet water.. this case fits my dr500 mce perfectly it is really very safe inside with the side foam support.. amazing case for my dreadnought dr500 mce.. thanks sweet water.

Very nice case that fits my Epiphone Dove perfectly!

This is a very nice, plush case. The guitar fits slightly snug in it which keeps any bouncing away. I like it.

This case arrived moments ago, and my Masterbilt DR-500MCE fits like a fine Italian Leather glove,
The case looks very nice, interior is plush, very nice.
I see NO issues with "stitching", (as indicated by one review).
The overall quality is excellent, and priced reasonably. Add to that FREE SHIPPING from Sweetwater, and you can't go wrong. I would absolutely recommend.

I ordered this case when I ordered my Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500 MCE. I had considered an aftermarket case for it but upon arrival, I'm glad I got the Epiphone case. I fits the Masterbilt like a glove, even has reliefs in place to perfectly accommodate the pre-amp controls and the end pin. Super soft interior also! Thanks to Jon for the super fast shippment!

Fits my Masterbuilt like a glove. Beautiful soft liner.

Jared helped me pick the Epiphone EDREAD Dreadnought Guitar Case for my new Epiphone guitar. He assured me that this was the case and the best buy for my guitar. I knew to expect excellence based on past experience with him and Sweetwater and my expectations were met! The case arrived in a couple of days, along with my guitar. I unboxed the case first and was amazed! It's beautiful and very well made. I love the leather accent that goes around the case. Classy! And plush! If I was smaller I swear I could sleep in this thing! My guitar body fits in it like a glove except for some space from the headstock to the end but that's apparently to accommodate longer guitars. The case will NOT let the instrument move around inside. I have complete confidence that it will protect my investment for many years!

Great case fits my EJ-160E like a glove. Even though they don't carry this guitar the case is perfect! Thanks Greg Baum for the service!

This guitar case is absolutely beautiful and we'll made. The lining cushions my guitar like it's a baby. Love it!

This thing is money well spent! awesome case won't let you down.. didn't expect it to be built like a tank.. thank you and sweet waters service is second to none.. amazing all the way around 5 stars to epiphone and 5 stars to sweet water

Matt A. provided outstanding service! Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful for a beginning guitarist. Shipping was crazy fast! Love my Epiphone Masterbilt too! Sweetwater would be top choice for all my guitar needs. Thanks guys!

Needed a case for my Epiphone Masterbuilt dread. Very happy with this purchase. The guitar fits perfectly, nice and snug to prevent in case movement when carrying. Nice plush interior and seems sturdy and well built. Great customer service from Sweetwater. This is my first Sweetwater purchase....great buying experience.

Excellent guitar case! Exactly what I wanted. Sweetwater's service was exceptional!

That is perfect for my new Epiphone guitar! Zach my sales engineer recommended this case to protect it from our climate changes here in North Dakota. I keep my guitar in the case and only take it out when I play it. Appreciate him telling me this and when I take it out of the house I know it will be in good keeping there too! Thanks for the great service! Lute SIMLEY

The case is well built, the brown detailing is a little ugly, but not a big deal. As always, the customer service is great. Mark is always helpful and thorough. Highly recommend Sweetwater!

I have the DR-500MCE and the EDREAD Epiphone hardshell case fits my guitar like a glove. It is perfectly, snugly and safely nestled inside the Epiphone EDREAD hardshell case. The case used to be for my Epiphone AJ-220S which has a little wiggle when inside. But the DR-500MCE Masterbilt is perfect. Mine came with a reddish brown accent and gold-plated latches.

It is a great looking case, and a wonderful home to keep my Epiphone Masterbilt guitar safe from the dry winter air here in the Midwest. Sweetwater's customer service is great! Oh and my sales engineer Aaron rocks!

I was very impressed with this case and the service I received from Sweetwater. It fit my epiphone DR 500 MCE great. I also receive several calls from Sweetwater following my purchase to thank me and to see if I was satisfied. You don't find service like this much anymore.I highly recommend Sweetwater for all your musical needs.

When I unpacked this case, I was amazed at the quality, and how great this case looks! It fits my Guitar just perfect.
I would highly recommend this case to anyone looking for a great product.

Good case good protection for your Epiphone acoustic

I Bought this for my son's Ephiphone DR-100 as a birthday gift. I never opened the box prior to giving it to him so I anxiously awaited as he opened his present. I was quite impressed with the case just on the outside appearance of it. Looks classy with the Ephiphone logo on the exterior. The interior was equally impressive and most important of all was how nice the guitar fit inside. You will never worry about your instrument getting bumped or bruised while inside this baby! Thanks Sweetwater!

The Epiphone guitar case is fabulous, it fits my guitar in every fashion. I am confident that my instrument and joy is well and completly protected from the weather and transportation on the road.

I travel with my Epiphone guitar quite frequently, my friend highly reccomende buying this specific guitar from Sweetwater due to what is and the prices savings over any retail outlet.

This case fits my Epiphone Hummingbird Pro perfectly. Nice fur lining inside with extra large storage compartment for your guitar extras. Well built hard shell case construction with sturdy handle. The brown trim and brown handle adds to the case's appeal and looks great!

I was really surprised by this beautiful case. It looks good and really heavy duty protection for your acoustic guitars. I got it for my Fender Ron Emory Loyalty acoustic. I love it!

When I purchased my new Epiphone Dove, the sales representative asked if I needed a case. I have so many guitars, I thought that I didn't . I got to think a minute and asked the price for a really nice case. He quickly provided it and I decided to purchase. Boy, I am glad that I did. The construction and strenght of this case says alot about the manufacturer. I am glad the sales rep. suggested it

Very nice quality case for the money. Leathery vintage look on the outside and soft on the inside. Very solid case, well build.

WORKED FOR A LONG TIME FINDING ONE WITH RIGHT DEMENTIONS- CLOSING BOX AND DEPTH PADDING FOR THAT GUITAR. PERFECT-PERFECT!!!! THE SERVICE WAS IMPECABLE WILL BE WITH THEM ALWAYS! - Michael McCabe

I purchased this case for my Epiphone AJ-220S and it fits very nicely. As others have pointed out, the case pictured may not be the exact case that you will receive. The one I received actually looks to be of higher quality. Mine is black and brown and has the full "Epiphone" name printed on it. Well worth the money! Seems very durable and has a large storage compartment for your tuner, strings, picks, etc.

Reasonably priced, solid construction, nice padded interior. Stylish two tone.

I just recently purchased an Epi DR212 and, this is the perfect case for this instrument. Well made,Perfect fit, nice attention to detail with the brown tirm around the top and body of the case. Very satisfied and, Ryan Sloan was very helpful in all aspects of my purchases. Sweetwater adds that little extra customer service that makes them a leader in musical gear retailers.

I recently purchased an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird, this case is perfect for it..
It is very well made, and the brown leather accents look very nice, along with Epiphone logo on the front..

I would like to also thank customer service..
They were very knowledgeable aboutvthe case fitment for the guitar.. I discovered after purchasing the guitar that it wouldn't fit in my previous cases..

I bought one of these for my DR 212 and it fits like a glove. The inside is plenty large to hold a twelve string. The outside is a very nice two tone in real leather. The handle is nicer than the one on my martin case. I'm very pleased.

Very nice case, looks good inside and out.

Or my Epiphone MasterBilt DR500MCE...

Guitar fits like a glove in the case. Was able to fit this in an overhead bin while traveling to Phoenix, AZ - but won't likely do that again unless I haven't gotten a soft-side Mono acoustic guitar case by the next trip.

For the price, I'd rather have this than an SKB or Gator.

Got it two days later than my guitar even though it was on the same order, don"t know why that happened, but besides the shipping delay the case was just great looking, just like I was hoping it would be. Constructed real well my guitar fits perfect all you could ask for when it comes to guitar cases. The only thing I noticed looks wise was a couple of light scratches but they can be buffed out. Thanks for the great quality team at Sweetwater for checking my new equipment out for me. It is Christmas time now so wishing everyone at Sweetwater a Happy Christmas and New Year.

I'm very satisfied with this purchase. Came on time and arrived together with the guitar I purchased to go in it. I bought this for my new Epiphone Hummingbird acoustic guitar. It's a perfect fit and protects the guitar well. It appears to be well made and feels very solid. Handle is beefy and seems it will last. Price was fair and certainly in the same range of similar style cases. I would purchase again in a heart beat.

Generally well made case but attention to detail falls a little short there are specks of "dust?" under the Tolex causing some bumps and bubbles...not a deal breaker but it could be better. Also the pictures seem to indicate 5 latches (with two on the lower bout) mine has only 4 (3 on the handle side and one on the upper bout hinge side)...also not a deal breaker but a little disappointing. Since it is a Dreadnought style case my slope shouldered AJ-220 has a small amount of play but otherwise fits quite securely and seems very secure when it's all latched up. Very nice plush padding inside, plenty of room in the accessory compartment for strings, tuner, strap, etc. if you need something more solid or plan to do some serious travel which would require checking your instrument there are more sturdy (and much more expensive) cases out there but this one should protect your investment just fine for everything else you might encounter in everyday use.

Fits my DR-500MCE perfectly and looks sharp

Sturdy exterior and soft fitted interior. Was perfect pertection for 68 Epiphone 12 string. The 'Epiphone' signature on top side an aesthetic plus. Well made and good bargain. Very pleased with the service at Sweetwater, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Would recommend this case to anybody who has guitar that needs protection.

Nice case! Snug fit for my Masterbilt DR500MCE. Solidly built. Made in China is the only drawback.

This case is extremely sturdy. Although the guitar rarely leaves the house, I'd have no qualms transporting it anywhere in this. My son toured for a while with a guitar and if he were still doing that, I would recommend this case.

I own a 1979 Epi D-14 and it fits like a glove. This model # needs to be added to the list that fits this case. Have been soft bagging it for a few years and always find my guitar out of tune when I arrive. This case is well made, positive latches soft plush interior. Had a few marks on the exterior of case, most of them were of glue and came off. Added my own whacks to it last weekend on a trip to Alabama. Case is heavy, heck yea. Had my fill of cheap paper cases and zipper bags

Excellent case for the money. Fits the masterbilt series great!

Does what it's supposed to do. Fits my Texan real nice! I give it a 4.5 just because I have to move the case top into the back latch sometimes. But it's a very good case. I recommend it.

Excellent, well made attractive case that fits the Epiphone 12 string I bought.
I am much happier with it than the case that came with my Martin JCM 16 ME.

Bought this case for an Epi Hummingbird. It fits perfect and is a good quality case for the price. I shopped around and Sweetwater has the best price on this case. The latches do not feel quite as substantial as they do on the more expensive cases but they work fine. The brown trim against the black gives the case a little richer appearance, Overall an excellent case for a moderately priced guitar and a huge step up from a gig bag.

Received new case with broken rear latch "U" blade. See photo. Sweetwater made replacement quick and easy. New case was shipped and arrived a day later. I used box and packing from that to return defective case with prepaid shipping label emailed from Sweetwater. Many cases do not have a rear latch. This one does. Rest of case seems quite solid. Outer covering is smooth, not bumpy like "tolex" on other cases. Gray fuzzy lining inside is a nice touch as many cases in this price range only have black. Fit for my new Epiphone inspired by Gibson Hummingbird is perfect.

I bought this case for an Epiphone IBG J-45. I like sticking with the same brand of a case than the guitar. With the J-45, there is extra room at the top of the case, I'm assuming so that the case can also accommodate the larger headstock of an Epiphone 12-string? The padding is lush and gives confidence that it would protect the guitar well. The hinges seem to be of as good quality as on my Taylor and Martin cases. I dinged it one-star because when closing the case top, it does not perfectly line up with the bottom of the case without a little push to fully close it, as the lid part is slightly misaligned. All in all, I do like the case and would buy it again if I had to.

They work great for my two epiphone acoustics, flawless fit. One of the cases is perfect (I bought two), one is a tiny bit misaligned so I have to pull it tight but it's not an issue, just the differences between the two. They both fit perfectly. If you need a case that can take a banging though and not show marks these aren't the cases for that, you'd need a hard plastic or something else, but they look fantastic with the multi colored black and brown. Plus the price is hard to beat for this level of protection. I've got an Epi Humbingbird and DR-500 living in my cases.

Case looks nice and interior is very plush. Only concerns are the latch with the lock in it doesnt line up correctly with the lid and the handle wrap feels a little loose which may get worse after carrying it around a while. The storage compartment is large enough to hold a decent strap and a tonewood amp in it. Overall a nice case for the price.

No wrinkles, no bubbles, and lining done well. Other than the handle not appearing to be strong, this is an attractive case with good fit. Would work with most any other dreadnaught size guitars. Good protection for a good price.

Super nice for the money. Very well made and great details.

Great looking case with 4 latches, Epiphone logo and trim around the edges. The Hummingbird I bought also from Sweetwater fits perfectly and the case closes and latches without any fitting problems like you find in cheap cases from big box #1.

I bought this case for my Epiphone dove. It doesn't just fit snugly - it fits perfectly. The interior is well padded and the material is very soft. Initially I wasn't a fan of the brown trim and thought it was kind of ugly, but in person it's not that bad and it grows on you over time. Overall this is a nice case and a very worthwhile purchase.

All my music is played at home. And I case my guitar every time I'm done playing. This case is excellent protection for what I need. Excellent fit for my Masterbilt DR-500MCE. Very happy with this case.

Bought this case for my AJ220S Epiphone, fits perfect. And a very nice looking case. And the next epiphone will get one too. Thank you sweetwater folks for you help...

My son has the Epiphone AJ-200S so many vendors recommended the Epiphone Jumbo case. Funny that Epiphone website recommended Epiphone Dreadnought case. So got the Dreadnought case and the AJ-220S fits perfectly all around but for an extra 4 inches of room beyond the neck (Jumbo case would have had too much wiggle room around the body). Case seems of good quality and a little heavy but for $89, it is worth it. Sweetwater service is superb: phone voice mail confirming internet purchase, order arrived in two days (free shipping), and my kids loved the sweet treats in the shipping carton.

This is a great, sturdy case... just a little heavy in my opinion. It will definitely keep your guitar snug and safe from rough-housing though!

for a low budget case, this is a real bargain. sturdy and well built and it even looks good.

For the price it was more than I expected. I've seen more expensive cases not made as well, especially the 5 latch system, nice touch and the latches really aren't that bad. Not top of the line, but for $89.00 it's a steal! Using it for my Epi Hummingbird and it's a really nice fit, couldn't be more pleased. Cool gray lining and two tone finish. Gave it four stars because of the price and quality. Totally worth it!

Its a little on the heavy side and a little on the large side, but I know the guitar is well protected in this case. The covering seems to be a good material and they put a brown trim all around to dress it up a little. The gold clasps are not the best, but not the cheapest either, they do the job just fine. The inside is plush gray and fits my PR-100 perfect. I ordered the cheaper one, but it didn't fit the Epiphone, and had to send it back.

Brown trim adds nice classic look.

Alittle heavey and guitar has a smooth snug fit :)
There are 5 latches to keep it secure but only the latch closest to the
handle has a lock on it. (the key will be in the accessories hole inside the case, you cant miss it ! eness your blind and dumb haha.
the lock can be broken though with a good hard pull, or your handy dandy crow bar. but it will keep the kids out of it..thats about it.
I got the case for my epiphone dove, its good fit keeps it in place securely, and gently :) So you wont have to worry about it guitar getting knocked out of tune in the case whever you take it. When I first got it I looked it over carfully to make sure nothing was missing or broken off, I was worried because of a previous review saying tey had a latch broken off..which for me was not the case. Everything works the way it was designed to do..which is hold your guitar safely.. Its a great case for the price free shipment plan took only took 3days. awsome case :D thanks sweet water ! *high five*

I bought this per the recommendation of the sweetwater guys and it fits my 1995 Guild acoustic well. Overall this is a decent case for $. However, I must state that this case is a bit heavier, much thicker than the old ABS molded SK case it replaced. The vinyl covering is ok but will get beat up. One other minor complaint is that the position of the handle is not well balanced which is noticeable when carrying.

I bought this case for an Epiphone J-45. It fits very well. However, after 2.5months, the outer vinyl covering is starting to separate at the waist and the lid never closed perfectly without some pushing and jiggling. Maybe, in my case (no pun intended), it is an isolated one-off that slipped the Epiphone QC line.

It's ok if you need a case in a hurry otherwise spend a little more for a better quality case.

Received the case just in time for a flight I was taking ....I left it until the last minute. The guitar fit snugly and was safely transported during the flight. Thanks for fast shipping and taking the time to make sure I was buying the right case.

The case is heavy which i suppose is good and bad. This isn't the right picture though. On the front instead of the E symbol it actually says 'epiphone' and the trim around the edges of the case are brown, so this case isn't solid black. However, i was concerned about finding a case to fit my AJ 500M which is a slope shoulder guitar, and this thing fits like a glove. No movement whatsoever. As far as durability, I don't know how to rate this. Just got it and its my 1st hard shell case ever so, no frame of reference. I can say that sweetwater was great and shipped very quickly. Recieved the item after about 3-4 days from placing the order.

Got mine today and it has a ding on the bottom of the case that has torn through the vinyl. Not a huge hole but disappointing to see that it will likely not handle dings well. One of the brackets that holds the handle on is also loose. The base is attached OK but the metal arms that the handle attaches to are wiggling around. The other end of the handle is solid.

Looks nice inside and would probably work fine but I do not want to start with a damaged product. Can only assume it will not wear well if it is starting this way. Will be exchanging for the plastic case.

I received the case on 31 Dec 2016 but I did not open till 1 Jan 2017.

The Case looked great. But after and inspection, not so much. First it is made in CHINA.

The covering material had wrinkles.
The material was torn near the head stock.
The lining had wrinkles was not fitted well....

It should not have passed inspection at the factory.

Dennis was great can not say enough about the Customer Service at Sweetwater.

I bought this for my Epiphone AJ 500m, in part to have a matching case for the instrument (dumb reason) and to replace my durafoam for a hardshell. Big mistake! Sweetwater's service was fine, but the case is very poor quality. As mentioned, it does not look like the picture, which I anticipated and doesn't bother me. But the quality is very poor. One of the latches was sitting in the bottom of the box, as it had fallen off. After some work, I was sort of able to get it back on so that it is serviceable to store my guitar in my study. I would not trust it for travel, either in an airplane or to throw it into a vehicle for a gig, but it is too much trouble to send back. I have two other Takamine's that came with cases, which are actually TKL's, and these are much better quality. I wish I would have gone with the Gator GC jumbo (more money), TKL, or even the Musicians Gear dreadnought case (much cheaper). I would not recommend this case.

It stinks, literally. I mean I've tried baking soda, charcoal and febreeze to name a few. Nothing has eliminated the stench of that dam cheap chinese glue they use to produce the case.

Lid needs to be jiggled to get it to close. The epiphone that it was supposed to fit is loose in the case.
The vinal is loose in at least one place, apparently not glued.
Some of my cheaper cases seam to be much better quality.
