Having bought a 2016 Gibson Firebird T, it came with a soft case. In a rather interesting twist of fate, Gibson only sold aftermarket cases for SGs and Les Pauls! I pickep up this Epiphone case, and the Gibson fits into it perfectly. It has a spacial pocket for nicknacks, and the clasps are nice and secure. It is a BIG case, but this is simply because of the size and shape of Firebirds in particular and there is no way around it. Good value, solid build quality, fits Gibsons perfectly.
