Frequently asked questions
Will the Mystique 8-string case fit other ESP guitar models?
No. The CMYSTIQUE8FF is designed exclusively for the ESP Mystique 8-string series and uses form-fit geometry that matches only that body shape. Using it with other models will result in poor fit and inadequate protection.
Can the XL case accommodate 8-string guitars?
The CSTXLFF is engineered for extended-scale and baritone guitars, specifically the Stef Carpenter TE-7B and LTD SCT-607B. It is not designed for 8-string Mystique instruments and would not provide the precise fit needed.
What is the practical difference between these cases?
The Mystique case is compact and form-fitted for a standard-bodied 8-string, while the XL case is larger to accommodate the extra-long scales and wider bodies of baritone and extended-scale 7-string models. Both use wood construction and plush lining but serve different instrument platforms.
Do either case include the guitar?
No. Both listings are for the case only; the guitar is not included in either purchase.
