I own a Les Paul case for my Gibson Les Paul Studio. The quality of the epiphone is close to that of the American made one, hands down almost the same exact case. One note, I bought this case for my epiphone Les Paul PRO Custom, I put the guitar into it and it did not quite fit. It was off only slightly which was the foam. Easy fix though I put the guitar in the case closed it and placed the case on its side for about a week. This quickly fixed the snug fitting issue with no problems. I highly suggest to purchase one of these if you own an epiphone and want to protect your baby. This case is well worth its value.
