Members Valiant100 Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Just about any LP or LP Jr case will work. You might want to fold a towel or something for extra padding behind the body since it's so thin. But it's probably not really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 The reason I suggest The TKL 7824 is that it is the only case I have found that is specifially designed for The thinner body LP so you would not need any extra padding and it fits the MM like a glove.TKL also make cases for Epiphone,The Epiphone LP case is a rebadged TKL 7825.It's a little cheaper than the 7824 but not as snug a fit. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/document?cpd=0OEY&doc_id=99371&g=guitar&base_pid=517248&index=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, for those that already have a MM: What case are you using? I agree with fuzztone about the TKL-7824. I bought one for my Les Paul Special, which is the same size as the Melody Maker, and it is a perfect fit for the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dwerlin Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 I recently got that TKL case for my 2005 LP Jr. and it did NOT fit. I contacted TKL and they said that the case was designed for the older LP Jr.'s with the more angled neck. The newer (after 2002 I guess) LP Jr.'s have a straighter neck angle and so the neck was sticking up out of the case and it wouldn't close without [bad] pressure on the neck. I ended up with the SKB-56 LP case, which fits my LP Jr. as well as any other case I've had has fit any other guitar I've had, without any extra padding at all. I'm not sure about the neck angle of these new fangled Melody Makers, but just keep in mind that it may not fit in the TKL Jr. case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I got one of the TKL 7824 cases and it fits my Epi Jr so when I get the Melody Maker I will see if that one fits too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
