Frequently asked questions
Can I use the CXJFF for a baritone or extended-scale guitar?
No. The CXJFF is molded specifically for ESP XJ Series body shapes. The CST1XLFF is engineered for larger instruments like the ST-1 XL and similar baritone/extended-scale guitars.
Will the CST1XLFF fit both 6 and 12-string guitars?
The CST1XLFF is designed for the ESP ST-1 XL and comparably sized extended-scale instruments. The CXJFF is the model that officially supports both 6 and 12-string configurations.
What is the main difference in construction between these two cases?
Both use wood-body shells with tolex covering and plush interiors. The CST1XLFF features a top-mounted comfort grip handle, while the CXJFF uses a molded handle. The key difference is the internal shape: CST1XLFF is contoured for XL-body guitars, CXJFF for standard XJ body contours.
Are these cases suitable for touring and gigging?
