Gibson Deluxe Protector Case, Explorer
A true love letter to the road warriors of rock and roll, the Gibson Deluxe Protector Case for Explorer models is a masterclass in style, sturdiness, and swagger. Inspired by the rugged “chainsaw” cases of the late '70s but reimagined for today’s travelling musician.
Moulded from ultra-durable polyethylene, this case offers a hard shell armour that laughs in the face of airport baggage handlers and tour van tumbles. Whether you're hopping between cities or heading to your local session, your Explorer will be wrapped in plush, vintage-style blue lining that cushions every curve and edge with care. And that interior? It’s like a velvet throne for your axe—soft, luxurious, and built to preserve the pristine condition of your pride and joy.
The exterior is finished in sleek, powder-coated black, making it as stylish as it is dependable. You’ll find three rugged latches, one of which is TSA-approved—so you can fly with peace of mind knowing your guitar is secure, even when you're not in control of the zipper. An ergonomic handle rounds it all out, ensuring comfortable carrying from stage door to studio and back again.
Inside, there’s a dedicated accessory compartment—ideal for stashing picks, strings, tuners, and those little tools of the trade that are always mysteriously disappearing at the worst time.
Whether you're a tone-chasing professional or a serious collector, this Gibson case does more than protect—it honours the spirit of the Explorer. And here at Musicmaker, where we've been pairing players with perfect gear since the early '80s, we think that’s exactly what your instrument deserves.
