Members mdrake34 Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 I just got a new Les Paul Junior Special that came with a gig bag, but I want to get a hardshell case ASAP. From reading around it looks like normal LP cases don't fit them perfectly, but someone on another forum recommended http://www.rondomusic.com/egc300lp.html apparently Rondo suggests it for its les paul special copies. Any other suggestions, any experience with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks good to me. Shipping is how much extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 yup, you'll be hard pressed to find a place that will ship a case for free I think I did one through musicians friend and bought some other stuff to get over the amount for free shipping. Those douglas cases are prob pretty decent tho FWIW - I've gotten a few cases from rondo and they've been nice for the moolah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, if you have other stuff to buy, look at MF for maybe a SKB or even an Epi case, might cost a bit more, but if you have something else you need to get to $100, I think shipping might be free.

Members duncan Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 I check pawn shops and my local guitar store for used cases. I picked up a case for my LP for $35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdrake34 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 The SKB LP style case is $112 by itself. I might go with Rondo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 for what it's worth this is the brand I got from MF for my epi SG and it's also of decent quality here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdrake34 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 I went with the Douglas, it was the only one that had the raised portion to support the special body like the TKL, which was sold out. $85 isn't bad, I need to protect it. I took it to a gig Thursday night in the gig bag and my asshole puckered every time I moved it in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other suggestions, any experience with these? I went with the Douglas case from Rondo and it arrived yesterday. It fits PERFECTLY, and it's a really nice case. The leather on the outside looks a little cheap close up, but from a few feet away it looks like a nice gibson case. It even has the silk sheet to cover the guitar in the case like a gibson case. I'm sure the TKL is a much nicer case, but for $85 with shipping this thing was a steal. I know several people have been buying these junior specials recently, I highly recommend this case.
