Frequently asked questions
What instruments fit each case?
The Horizon-3 XL is engineered specifically for left-handed ESP Horizon-III and H3 series guitars. The Mystique X-Long is designed for extended-scale instruments like extended-range guitars and basses, regardless of handedness.
Which case is better for touring and air travel?
The Mystique X-Long is purpose-built as a Duplex flight case with reinforced construction and water-resistant exterior, meeting the demands of professional touring and frequent air transport. The Horizon-3 XL is a form-fit case better suited for storage and local transport.
Are these cases interchangeable between different ESP guitar models?
No. The Horizon-3 XL is form-fit specifically for Horizon-III and H3 series guitars only. The Mystique X-Long is designed for extended-scale instruments and is not a form-fit case for standard Horizon models.
What is the key difference in interior design?
Both use form-fit molded interiors, but the Horizon-3 XL is contoured to match Horizon body shapes exactly, while the Mystique X-Long is sized for longer instruments with headstock clearance and includes internal padding to secure extended-range guitars.
