Detail 01

EpiphoneFlying V Hardshell Case
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Shaped hardshell case cut for Epiphone's Flying V outline. For V owners who need real protection and can't use a standard-shape case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging a Flying V that won't fit rectangular cases
- Shipping or checking a V-shape guitar with real protection
- Replacing a worn or missing original Epiphone V case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Explorer, SG or other angular bodies — different outline
- Players who want a lighter gig bag for short walks
- Anyone needing storage pockets for pedals and cables
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hardshell, not a gig bag
Protects against crush and impact, so it survives stacking in a van or a baggage hold.
Detail 03
Model-specific fit
Cut to Epiphone's V outline. Other brands' V shapes vary at the wing tips and may not seat properly.
Detail 04
$129 price point
Buying a shaped case separately usually costs more than the difference between a bagged and cased guitar.
Detail 05
Black exterior
Shows dust and scuffs less than lighter finishes but gets hot fast if left in sun or a closed car.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your V against the case interior before committing — V outlines differ between brands
- 02A V case is long and awkward; check it fits your car and stage space
- 03No strap, cable or tool storage beyond what a shaped interior allows
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a Gibson Flying V?
It's cut for Epiphone's Flying V outline. Gibson V bodies differ slightly at the wings and shoulder, so measure before buying rather than assuming a fit.
02Can I check this on a flight?
A hardshell is the minimum for checked baggage, but airlines still handle cases roughly. Loosen the strings and pad around the headstock if you must check it.
03Does a V fit in a regular electric guitar case?
No. Standard cases are cut for a single-cutaway or double-cutaway outline. The V's wings hit the walls, which is why a shaped case is necessary.
04Is a hardshell worth it over a gig bag?
For transport by vehicle, shipping or storage, yes — it resists crushing. For carrying a few blocks by hand, a padded gig bag is lighter and easier.
