I have a client who brought in a 2007 American Les Paul Studio that he just bought used. He wants a full setup and so on but it was in a gig bag when he bought it. This guys a pro who plays just about every night in Nashville and he's going to haul this one around as his backup guitar. He wants me to find him a decent hardshell case that can take the abuse. Anyone have any recommendations that won't break the bank? He's not flying so no need for an airline proof case.

I have one of these. I'd say it's decent.

The two that I have built sleep in TKL cases that were $129 at my local music store.

I'll add that because of the vulnerable heads, I think Gibsons really do need a good hardshell case.

Freeman, I agree that Gibsons especially need a hardshell case, I basically told my client I didn't want to send it out of the shop without one and he agreed.
