I bought this case as soon as I got my 2012 Les Paul Studio. Sure, it's just a studio model, but I put a lot of money into the electronics of all of my guitars, so I want them to be protected. It fits pretty well, but there is about one inch of space around the body. I use Dimarzio ClipLock straps, so I just run the clips along the side of the guitar, and it holds it in place. I've had my Les Paul fall over more times than I could count in this case, and it has seen no damage from it. It offers great protection. My only complaint about my case is the strap. Maybe it's just mine, but the strap is too short. If I leave it sitting on a flat surface, the case won't stay open on its own. I have to hold it open when I put the guitar in or remove it, which is a bit of a hastle. Nevertheless, I just got myself another Les Paul, and I think I'll be buying another one of these to protect my new beauty.

I have only had the case for a short time. But the the external plastic latches are vulnerable. The fit for a Melody Maker requires a T Shirt at the bottom of the case for support. Note: I did not by the case from MF. But was told by the store that I did buy from that the case was made in the USA. The case is made in China. If you have a Melody Maker I would save your money and buy the MF case that costs around $40.00 dollars. I have one of those as well and that case is worth all 40 Bucks. The case reminds me of a styrafoam crash helmet. If your guitar is in this case and is involved in a calamity it will most likely absorb a pretty good shot and preserve your guitar-but you will be replacing the case. Perhaps I am being a little too tough on the product. But, I like the MF case better.

            Best case for the money if you wanna protect your Les Paul. The only small complaint I have is that my case is a little uneven at the headstock end. I have to make sure its lined up before I can latch it. Other than that, Im sure it could withstand a drop from a three story building.

                  Great case for my PRS Se Singlecut... one reviewr said it didn't fit this guitar... well it does, some may want ot more snug of a fit but thats when its open...once my strap is folded and crammed in the small compartment and the case is closed... to me is a snug and scure fit.

                  A solid case and an attractive price point.
                  I was looking for a good quality case for my Line6 JTV 59. This is it. Fits like a glove.
                  A solid and well constructed product at this price point.

                  Beats A Gig Bag!

                  Comments about SKB-56 Deluxe Single Cutaway Electric Guitar Case:

                  I got this because my Les Paul Jr. only came with a gig bag. That's another complaint for another day. There is a little extra room in there, it's not a perfect fit. Seems like when I close the case, it holds the guitar in place. If I shake it, I don't feel the guitar moving around in there. But when open, there is noticeable room for the guitar to shift. If the case took a good shot, it would probably allow the guitar to shift inside the case. Stuffing a towel or an old t-shirt in there would probably solve this easily.Quality-wise, I'm not abusive with my stuff. I don't see it breaking on me any time soon. It has a TSA lock on it but it doesn't seem like a sturdy enough case that I would actually trust the TSA with it. It's way better than a gig bag, but I wouldn't push your luck with it.

                  Built strong except for the handle. The all plastic handle can not take the stress of carrying a heavey Les Paul guitar. The handle broke while I was carrying it, at least the guitar was not damaged. Replacing the handle requires tearing out the bottom of the case. Save your money and buy a case with a metal bolted down handle.

                  Comments about SKB-56 Deluxe Single Cutaway Electric Guitar Case:

                  Well I got this case with my epi custom les paul, and i was very impressed with it, but the most impressive thing to happen with so far is that i was driving about 45-50 mph headed to church to play and somehow my tailgate falls down and my guitar slides out and slides across the road. i thought for sure my guitar was going to be snapped in half when i opened the case, but it was still in tune. so i have the say this is an amazing durable case. can't go wrong.
