  • Great quality for the price
Style: Ibanez Tod/Fhr Pattern Name: Solid
My son needed a guitar case for his new guitar and with money being tight we really needed a case that would do the job. When we got the case, it is sturdy, the hardware was nice and the guitar fit in there perfectly.

  • Quality Hardshell Case from Gator
Style: Triple O Acoustic Pattern Name: Guitar
I needed a case for my new Sigma acoustic guitar, 000/OM body size. Another Sigma owner here on the Amazon Q & A said this Gator case (model GWE-000AC Hard-Shell Wood Case for Martin Acoustic Guitars Black) fit his Sigma perfectly. I took a chance and am very pleased at the fit and condition of the brand new case. Very plush and nicely padded. Not a scratch on it. Gator is a very reputable brand and I have owned their cases in the past. My only issues are that it's gone up quite a bit in price and as such it's not as much of a value as it once was. The case is lighter weight than other hard cases I've owned; while it seems less durable and robust that a Martin, Taylor or TKL case, some people might like to save on weight and give up a little strength. My other issue with the case is the latches feel kind of cheap and lightweight and I wonder about longer term opening and closing. I'm glad I'm only using this case to store my guitar in the closet. Overall, I recommend this case and it is a quality product as long as you use it for its intended purpose (i.e., not a flight case). ... show more

  • Fit a 3/4 guitar fine
Style: 3/4" Size Acoustic Pattern Name: Guitar
My old 3/4 small sized guitar had been sitting in my closet for a while, getting in my way, and I wanted to be able to protect it from dust as well as be able to stack it on a shelf without damaging it. A hard case seemed like a much better solution than the other soft cases for this. The price was a bit high for my taste. I wish there were some cheaper hard case options but this seemed like the best option out there. The inside of the case is very nice and soft, with a convenient compartment to store a tuner etc. It has 3 clasps on one side and 1 clasp on the other. The middle of the three clasps has a lock on it. So while outside of the case to me looks like pleather that will degrade over time, the description says it's Tolex PVC which is supposed to be very durable and waterproof. I don't know yet about the longevity but I do see a lot of damaged photos in other reviews so I feel skeptical. Maybe it takes a really hard beating to damage the case but I am not sure. We'll see how it holds up over time. I'm really not too concerned personally as I just want it to be protected and don't care about scuffs. One last concern is the warning on another review that a chemical on this can cause cancer. I assume that it's probably some kind of fire retardant chemical. I'm hoping the exposure will be minimal as it will sit in the back of a closet and I think that many other things we're already exposed to have this chemical like mattresses etc. But I kind of wish they'd put this warning more prominently in the description. Overall the case looks nice. It does the job. I might have bought a different one if I'd noticed the cancer warning though. ... show more

  • Sturdy, beautiful case
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
I love my Gator guitar case. It is extremely sturdy, easy to open and close, and has a nice soft lining that does not shed. I love the little gear box inside too. I use this case for my full-size acoustic guitar. And it fits perfectly. Very nice case!

  • Offers great protection
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
Bought this for my beloved acoustic guitar. Protecting it from getting banged up is a priority. Very solidly built and plush inside. Reminiscent of the interior of a 1979 conversion van.

  • Great fit for 3/4 Ibanez classic guitar.
Style: 3/4" Size Acoustic Pattern Name: Guitar
The guitar came with a gig bag but being a 9 year old will be carrying it to school for lessons, I thought it best to protect the investment! The fit was perfect. Inside lining was very nice. It was a gift for my niece and I was able to hide some "extras" in the inside compartment. She loved it. I hope the guitar and the case last her until it's time to go full size! ... show more
