    • Perfect guitar case
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
The case is built tough and fits a dreadnought guitar perfectly. Great price as well.

    • Despite some surprises, it protects my guitar and is a good value for the money.
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
I received this about six weeks ago and it's been fine. It's sturdy and attractively built. It's a bit heavy, but it's made of wood and you can expect that. When the case arrived, I understood immediately why some reviewers complained about damage to their cases. It was packed in a large rectangular box with no cushioning in it whatsoever. During shipping, the case would just have bounced around the shipping box. I was lucky there was no damage. The case was a little difficult to open it the first time because one of the latches was stuck. A quick twist with a screwdriver took care of the problem and it's worked perfectly since. The inside of the case is very nice. It's well padded and fits my 12-string guitar perfectly. Some reviewers have complained that their case didn't match the advertised measurements, but I found my case to be correctly sized. The storage compartment is large and can hold what I need it to hold. Overall, I'm happy with the case and found it to be a good value for the money. ... show more

    • Good quality, durable
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
I bought this for my Ibanez acoustic and it fits like a glove. That's a robust case that is very sturdy and durable and it looks nice. Good value for the money. I'm sure it will last a lot on time.

High quality, sturdy case. A little snug on my Fender 12 string, but closes with a little bit of extra effort

    • WONDERFUL case
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
I can't say enough good about this case. I bought this for my 50 year old Yamaha 12-string. The fit is not quite like a skintight glove - there might be 1/2 inch on either side of the upper bout, but I'm delighted - I had the guitar in its original hard case all these years, and this fits better and has much better padding than that original hard case. For comparison: My children gave me a Fender 6-string (without a case) for my birthday, and I bought another case, for $1 less, for the Fender. THERE IS NO COMPARISON in the quality of the cases. I was really picky about the measurements, and I bought a Fender case for this Fender 6-string, and the fit was really good (the 6-string in this GATOR case has extra headroom. So for fit, I made the right choice for each guitar. But, if you want strength in build and latches, the GATOR case is the case to buy. I didn't want identical cases (I wanted to be able to tell the guitars apart by just looking at the case, and I was very focused about fit) but I'm sorry I didn't just buy two of these and add a decal or two to the one holding the 6-string, as a way to distinguish between guitars. This is a FANTASTIC case, ESPECIALLY since circumstances were such that these two cases arrived a week apart, so comparison was inevitable! BTW: I bought the other for two reasons, fit and because I liked that there was a latch at the lowest end of the neck, near the handle. I didn't realize there would NOT be the standard two latches along the lower bout part of the case. So while both cases use 4 latches, on this GATOR case, there are two latches along the side, and two along the bottom (the lower bout), and that arrangement seems more secure. The latch near the handle appealed to me as a point of strength, but the GATOR case offers greater strength in every aspect of its construction. I LOVE this case. ... show more
