Does a BFR JP6 fit in the regular SKB MM JP Case?

[petruccirocks02]

I was just wondering if the BFR JP6 fits in the regular MM JP6 case? If so, I'm gonna order one that way I don't scuff up my BFR case, even though its got a couple scuff marks from when GC had it but its all good, not a biggie . Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

It fits perfectly!
I bought a regular MM case for the exact reasons

Awesome Rossie! Thanks for the info.

True, but the BFRs and the annual Limited Editions come with "presentation" type G&G cases. I know that my 2007 LE's case is either very soft blue tolex or thin blue leather. I'm a hobby/play at home guy so it's fine, but if I was gigging it wouldn't hold up like the standard molded case would. Also, the molded case is about half the weight of the G&G.

I was planning on the same thing. However, I received an EBMM gig bag recently. So, that will suffice for now.

A gigbag? For your BFR?

 

[roburado]

Yeah. fsmith brought his BFR Luke with sparkle back all the way from Maryland to Desert Domination in an EBMM gig bag. Now, that takes balls.

My thoughts exactly!!

Gigbag is better than carrying around a heavy case all day!

Plus, if you've got a good one.. no harm can come to your guitar.

I've never seen the EBMM one, though.. pics?

I carry my bfr over my shoulder with a little piece of string tied to the toggle switch- works great!

The warm, fuzzy interior

I just threw some knick-knacks in the pocket to kind of give an indication of how roomy the pocket is.

 

[Multiversal]

That pocket is roomy enough to throw a couple of textbooks in there!

I think may get one of those!

Just as JohnC said, the LE's and BFR's come with super spiffy cases. I bet if you saw one you wouldn't wanna scuff it up.

True. Plus, they're so much heavier than the regular SKB case. Why would I want to carry one of those things around?

My thoughts exactly. The case is a beast. When we used to play shows with my old band, I used to use the SKB MM hardshell cases and they were super durable and could take a beating.
