ESP Case CMHFF/M/MH/H/KH25/SC207

As with my order of the case for the EX, I purchased this case for the MH model I have as my requirements have changed recently, due to moving house and gigging further afield. I required a case that would fit my securely and which would be capable of stacking (for example in the back of a van) without inflicting potential damage on the instrument.

The case itself is of good construction and features common components such as a locking clasp and faux fur lined fitted interior. It has been bought for my second MH as it did not have a case. This parricular model is not as high a standard as the one I have for my other ESP Horizon (which came with its own case) as the handle is not the same style but it is still a good quality case that has kept my MH secure.

I would recommend this ESP case for anyone looking to protect their M/MH/H/KH/SC model guitars as they fit securely and look good (the ESP logo stamped on the outside adds to the effect). This case arrived along with another case I order in a well packaged box with no damage to the products within. It was delivered within a short space of time with no problems.

This case is interesting as it can be used on a variety of models, from ESP/LTD.
I would maybe have expected a better finishing for a case that costs almost 200€.
The materials used on this case are more than fine but the build seems fragile, especially on the handle and the locks.
One good thing though is that it comes with keys so that you can lock the middle .
I've seen some cases with TSA locks which can prove very useful if traveling with the case.
On the inside, the guitar fits quite good in its place and there's a big compartment under the neck to fit many things which is very nice.
I would probably purchase this case again, but the case that came with my 800€ Ibanez 15 years ago feels stronger.

I got this case for my LTD M-1000HT, after ordering the SKB 66 Route (which was a great case, albeit not a perfect fit for my guitar). This is a perfect fit case for ESP/LTD in M/MH shapes but its quality, especially the exterior material and the cheap locks cannot compete with the other brands in this price range. It is 'ok' for safe home storage, but doesn't seem sturdy enough for a flight transportation (though I haven't tested this myself). Again, in comparison to other models in this price range, I would say that this is a case that you pay mostly for the ESP logo and because it fits ESP guitars nicely and not for an all-around great case. It is not overly bad; it just should cost 80-100€ less.

This is what I really dislike about today’s products. The price has almost doubled in 4 years and the quality is shockingly bad. I purchased the exact case that ESP recommended for my ESP Ltd JH600. Case arrived and apart from the usual poor finish from ESP I struggled to get the Guitar in the case. In the end I had to apply pressure to one side while sliding the guitar into the case. I have several of these ESP cases so I took this case and measured it against my others. The size difference is very notable, but this begs the question: why am I paying more for less, and why have ESP changed the size? I wish I had stuck with my Gator case on reflection. Buyer beware.

What can you say about a hard case?
I put my guitar in it.
It doesn't get damaged.
That's exactly what I expect of it.

The quality seems decent, and it's tough enough to take a few knocks as I'm moving it around. Standard little 'cubby hole' for your strap and other small accessories.
The latches seem good, they haven't come open on their own yet so they seem reliable.

The only bad point is probably that the key and lock is essentially pointless.
It looks quite weak, and the key just sucks, so I just say don't bother.
The latches don't open themselves anyway so it's not like you need it. And no thief is ever going to open it to nick your guitar, they're just going to nick the whole thing, so it doesn't exactly add to theft prevention either, so just ignore it :)
