Will these cases fit other ESP or non-ESP guitars?
No. The CAPBASSFF is form-fitted only for ESP AP-series bass guitars in right-handed configuration. The CEC8FF is custom-molded only for ESP EC-Series 8-string non-baritone models. Each is a dedicated fit for its specific instrument family.

Are these cases suitable for touring and gigging?
Yes. Both feature rigid hardshell exteriors, secure latches, and carry handles. The CEC8FF is explicitly noted for gigging, touring, and studio sessions. The CAPBASSFF is described as road-ready for AP-series owners.
Do either of these cases come with the instrument?
No. Both listings are for the case only. The instrument is not included with either purchase.
