Frequently asked questions
What is the key difference between these two cases?
Product A is molded for right-handed ST-pattern 8-string guitars, while Product B is specifically designed for left-handed ST-pattern 8-string guitars. The internal contours and body fitment differ to match each orientation.
Will a right-handed case work for a left-handed 8-string guitar?
No. Product B is engineered specifically for left-handed body dimensions and headstock geometry. Using a right-handed case would create poor fitment and leave your left-handed guitar vulnerable to shifting and damage.
Are both cases equally protective?
Both cases offer comparable protection through form-fit hardcase construction, rigid exterior shells, and padded interiors. The key difference is orientation, not protection level. Choose based on whether your guitar is right-handed or left-handed.
Will these cases fit other 8-string brands or body styles?
These cases are specifically molded for ESP ST-pattern 8-string guitars in their respective orientations. Fitment with other brands or non-ST body shapes is not guaranteed and may result in poor protection.
