Don"t leave it up to chance, get an ESP LTD V-Alexi Guitar Case and keep your guitar safe. Gig bags work fine, but only a hardshell case can really protect your guitar from dings and bumps. The plush lining cradles your axe while a wood shell covered with tolex guards against damage. The molded handle is comfortable to use and sturdy latches keep the case shut tight. Make sure the only wear and tear on your guitar comes from playing it with the ESP LTD V-Alexi Guitar Case.
