Frequently asked questions
Will the ST1FF case fit guitars other than the ones listed?
No. The CST1FF is engineered for right-handed ESP Original Series Snappers, LTD SN Series, E-II ST-1, and E-II ST-2 models only. Form-fit cases cannot safely accommodate different body shapes.
Can I use the ST1FF for an 8-string guitar?
No. The CST1FF is designed for single-cutaway ST-style bodies. The CMYSTIQUE8FF is the only option for an ESP Mystique 8-string.
What's the difference in construction between these two cases?
Both feature wood-core shells with Tolex covering and plush interiors. The CST1FF includes four metal latches and a comfort-grip handle; the CMYSTIQUE8FF emphasizes precision cavity geometry and an internal storage compartment.
Are these cases suitable for airline travel?
Both are hardshell cases built for impact resistance and touring use, making them suitable for travel. However, always verify airline baggage size limits independently.
