Crossrock Relief Series 335 Guitar Case for ES-335 & Semi-Hollow

Our review of the Crossrock Relief Series 335 Guitar Case finds it aimed squarely at players who travel, gig and store 335-style instruments and need a dependable, protective hardshell that fits closely. The single biggest reason to buy is the custom-molded interior that holds Gibson ES-335, Epiphone Casino and most 16" lower-bout semi-hollow guitars without rattle, so delicate tops and neck joints stay supported in transit. The case balances a vintage carved faux leather exterior with a plush velvet lining for a mix of stage-ready looks and genuine protection.

Key Features

• Tailored fit: The custom-molded interior provides a snug, rattle-free hold for 6-string 335-style semi-hollow guitars during travel and storage.
• Relief aesthetic shell: The carved faux leather exterior resists scratches and adds vintage appeal while keeping the case lightweight enough for road use.
• Premium velvet interior: Thick mink-style velvet and interior padding cushion the guitar from bumps, pressure and occasional shocks.
• Storage compartment: The built-in compartment fits picks, tuners, capos and cables so essential accessories stay organized on stage or in the studio.
• Reinforced build and hardware: Multi-layer wooden shell, rustproof latches, heavy-duty hinges, metal feet and a center-mounted lock provide security and durability for frequent transport.

Who It's For

The case is best for gigging semi-hollow players, recording musicians and collectors who own a Gibson ES-335, Epiphone Casino or other 16" lower-bout archtop and want a snug, protective case with a classic look. Its combination of a carved faux leather shell and plush velvet lining suits those who value both appearance and protection.

Players who need a lightweight soft gig bag, flight-case level transport for airline cargo, or a case sized for solidbody guitars should look elsewhere; this model is specifically tailored to 335-style body dimensions and focuses on secure internal support rather than ultra-light backpack portability.
