I have recently invested in a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard and looked for a more substantial case to transport the guitar to gigs and rehearsals.. The Thon Single Cut is a very robust flightcase and has a dedicated internal foam cut out which creates a snug fit for my Les Paul. It also has various compartments for storage of strap, strings etc.. Because of it's construction the case is slightly heavier than your average guitar case but in my opinion is worth it to protect my investment.. I would recommend this case to those who travel by air in view of it's industry standard spec..
