Frequently asked questions
Are these cases interchangeable between M-series basses and Phoenix guitars?
No. The CMBASSXLFF is molded for M-series bass body shapes, while the CPHX2XLFF is contoured for Phoenix guitar bodies. Each case is instrument-specific and not compatible with the other series.
Which case is better for touring and road use?
The CPHX2XLFF includes a wood-reinforced shell with Tolex exterior and ergonomic handle designed for road travel. The CMBASSXLFF emphasizes impact resistance and secure cradle design. Both are suitable for transport, but the Phoenix case includes specific road-wear features.
Do these cases come with the guitar or bass?
No—both listings are for the case only. You must already own a compatible ESP M-series bass or Phoenix series guitar to use either case.
What if I have a standard-scale Phoenix guitar, not baritone?
The CPHX2XLFF is the extended XL variant. ESP also makes a standard CPHX2FF case for regular Phoenix models. Confirm your guitar's scale length before ordering to ensure proper fit.
