Frequently asked questions

Will the Snakebyte case fit other ESP guitars?

No. The Snakebyte case is form-fit exclusively for the ESP James Hetfield Snakebyte and LTD Snakebyte models and will not accommodate other guitar shapes.

What's the difference in protection between these two cases?

Both feature hard shell construction with form-fit designs. The Snakebyte case includes more detail: four metal latches, plush interior padding, and a molded handle, while the EX case description focuses on basic hard shell protection.

Are these cases suitable for touring or just storage?

Both are hardcases designed for transport and storage. The Snakebyte case's four metal latches and molded handle make it slightly more tour-ready, though neither description explicitly addresses heavy touring durability.
