It's an awesome guitar - incredible to play... BUT AN ABSOLOUTE F**K TO GET IN ANY KIND OF CASE!

Does anybody knkow where I might be able to get a case for this guitar... I'm not searching for specifically Gibson ones cos they're a bomb... could be epiphone or something else entirely, but where do I search?

Cheers lads.

http://www.musicyo.com sells cases that will fit an explorer, they're for the Explorer knockoff (it's wither the Imperial or Vanguard). Gibson owns the companies involved on the page.

Failing that,

rock on

cool. Thanks guys. Found a reletively cheap one - something like $173 I think. An epiphone one. I know I know it doesn't compliment the guitar but after all it's really the playing that counts isn't it. ;)

Where'd you find an Explorer at? I thought they stopped making those back in the 70's.

Not by a long shot... they're standard production, actually, they're gaining in popularity (thanks in part to Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, The Edge of U2 and Dave Grohl). Epiphone makes em, too.
