NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Just got a call from TJ, after he managed to get hold of the distributor. Yup, it's meant to come with a case! Hurray! They have no idea about the strap locks though. To be honest I wouldn't use it anyway so I'm not going to bother pushing for that. It's probably meant to come with other case candie...

Looking at the cached version of the page for the tribute plus it doesn't say anything about a case unfortunately :( http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Throp1sRHtgJ:www.rockshop.co.nz/shop/epiphone-les-paul-tribute-plus-black-cherry-gibson-usa-pickups-carved-hard-maple-top.html+&a...

Ah well, sounds like I'll just go over and see if they can do me a deal on a rockcase with the guitar purchase.

Thanks for the input everyone!

I just called them this morning for an update. They are standing by their "no hard case included" statement, with extra reasoning being from year to year Epiphone, Gibson, Fender, etc. change up their deals on the same model. As an example he quoted a Fender MIM Strat that included gig bag...

The Tribute Plus most definitely comes with a case. I would certainly follow that up with them! Their reasoning was something along the lines of "those were special deals in the early period when it first came out, but not in the later years". Nope call them out on that. I don't think Swe...

I'd be very surprised if an Epi didn't fit in. You could take your guitar t...

The expense? By that I assume you mean shipping? Sorry, I couldn't tell where you're based either.

I am based in Christchurch.

Hi everyone, I'm new around here so please excuse me if I have not picked the correct forum for this question. I am looking for a hard case for my newly purchased Epiphone Les Paul. There are one or two options on artistguitars.co.nz that mentioned they "may fit" Epiphone Les Paul, due to ...
