stuckinthepod Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Bizarre experience today. I finally ordered the official Epiphone Thunderbird hardcase for my Classic Pro. It arrives, good price from Amazon. Doesn't fit. Pro is two inches longer than the case??? I've returned it for a refund. Anyone else had this problem. It is the only Epiphone TBird case on the market- same at GAK Andertons etc [url=https://flic.kr/p/DRFdBp][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/DRFdBp]WP_20160223_001[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/25628384@N03/]apeinflames[/url], on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 How long is the case, end to end? I'll measure mine when I get home. As an aside, Gibson and Epiphone cases aren't interchangeable either; the body shapes are different, similar, but different nonetheless. My Hamer fits the Epiphone case snug as a bug in a rug.

kristinaelias Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Looks like they've sent you an Firebird guitar case. What's written on the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinthepod Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 kristinaelias interesting theory, given the deep foam in side that make sense! All the outer packaging stated Epiphone 940-ETBCS Thunderbird Bass Hard Case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Will if the Epiphone and Gibson cases aren't interchangeable, the Classic Pro might need the Gibson one as it's different to the standard Epiphone model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassix Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 A few years back the Pro fit my Epiphone case very well. Heavy as mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The Thunderbird one should have four "catches" not three I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinaelias Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Shylock has just posted an Epi hard case for sale in the marketplace if you haven't resolved this issue yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
