I have an excellent shape with some wear Epiphone gig bag for the Explorer electric guitar. Epiphone is embroidered into the fabric, not screen printed. Finding a hard case is extremely difficult and expensive for the Explorer model guitar. This would probably fit any Explorer body guitar made by Gibson, Dean, and others. This one has fairly thick padding inside, along the edges, so it is of higher quality than a gig bag which only has a layer of cloth for protection.
