  • Left handed EVH
Style: Electric
I have a few Gator items. I'm happy with all the bags and cases. They're well made. It's a way to save a few bucks but not get garbage. This case is a great deal if you ask me. It's a little tight but it's works. I actually like that it's so slim. It's easier for storage and it holds my guitar with it moving around. I have the more expensive case and it's great also. I just wanted to save a few bucks so I got this one. It fits my new EVH 5150 and it also fit my Strat. I'm left handed. So its important that my cases fit universal. A lot of times you will find cases that perfectly fit right handed. You need to check if you're a lefty like me. This will do the trick though. I prefer hard cases over bags for my guitars. This is basic. Has a spot for a bit of cables or whatever. The EVH just fits. If the body was any longer it wouldn't fit. So make sure your guitar will fit. It says it's made for strat style guitars. ... show more

  • Great Value - Good Case
Style: Bass
I've been using the Gater Guitar Case for my Fender Player Plus Precision Bass, and I couldn't be happier with it. The fit is perfect, and I love the spacious internal compartment that keeps my earbuds and instrument cable organized. The felt lining is incredibly soft and provides excellent protection for my bass. I've been taking this case to gigs for several months now, and it's stood up remarkably well, handling the wear and tear without any issues. The construction of the case is impressive – it's sturdy, and the heavy-duty latches work flawlessly. Considering it's less than half the price of branded cases, it's an incredible value. I highly recommend the Gater Guitar Case to any bass guitarist looking for a reliable and well-built case. ... show more

  • An honest review
Style: Electric
Overall I love this guitar case. My Fender Stratocaster body fits in this case like it was made for it. It also has plenty of room for a longer neck such as with a bass guitar or Telecaster. Note: always be sure of your guitar measurements and potential case dimensions all the same. The case arrived with only a 1 day delay and in a box big enough to fit two cases in. No big deal here. My only issue was that the case did have a couple of minor dents (you should have seen the box it came packaged in; gouges, dents, etc.). However, aside from the two minor dents, the case seems well made. It is a hard case with nice stitching, 3 latches (center latch locks), an offset handle (so the weight of the guitar is more evenly distributed), an internal compartment for picks, strings, etc., plush lining, solid guitar neck support, and 4 small, chrome ‘legs’ (1/5 - 1/4” in length) under the case to help prevent scuffing when laying the case down to remove your guitar. All-in-all, I would definitely buy this case again. Thanks Gator! Update: it’s been 7 months and my opinion of this case has not changed. I added two pictures of the case with my Fender Stratocaster for reference. I figured it would help those out who were wondering if their guitar would fit. ... show more

This is a nice guitar case! Used it recently and it held up wonderfully to transport my Fender Stratocaster on the Airlines.

  • It doesen't just drop in, you will have to press it in to the corners and make it fit
Style: Extreme
It fits a Dime Washburn, but you will have to press it in to the corners and make it fit. It doesen't just drop in, but I am satisfied. I'm sure after being stored for a little while, it will fit like it was made for it.

  • Works for a Jackson Rhoads
Style: Extreme
I have a Jackson Rhoads JS32RR. For about a week for a case that wasn’t going to break my budget and this one was it. I don’t know if I would trust to take it traveling everywhere but for Storage at home it seems safe and it is budget friendly.

  • SOLID STYROFOAM! ...behind the liner. = ABSOLUTELY "NO FLEXIBILITY"!
Style: Bass
Case has solid styrofoam behind the liner which "doesn't allow ANY flexibility" like most other case manufacturers. I was thoroughly shocked and disappointed as your guitar MUST BE THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS or less to fit. QUOTE FROM DESCRIPTION: "carrying case for musicians who tend to "stay close to home". Constructed out of "heavy‐duty plywood and encased in a thick layer of Tolex PVC plastic (NOT), the GWE‐BASS is both sleek and sturdy-(NOT) as well as moisture‐resistant. Plush black fabric lines the interior, offering a soft, luxurious cradle for your instrument and cushioning against minor bumps and bruises." lol - Such a used car-salesman line of BS." UNBELIEVABLE! The so-called interior padding around the inside of the case is HARD-STYROFOAM!!! ...and the plywood is thin and highly flexible!!! Don't drop it on anything! Just falling from the end to the flat side onto something hard at the floor will probably cause minor damage to your bass guitar. Drop it off a truck, the edge of the stage, or on the stairs? ...NO WAY! Your guitar will get damaged. ...and it's CERTAINLY NOT A FLIGHT CASE as someone posted. If your guitar isn't exactly the size of the interior or less, forget it! "So-called interior padding does not have any flexibility whatsoever" ! It's HARD DENSE STYROFOAM like used for shipping guitars! You can't compress it to form to your guitar. I've NEVER seen such a design!!! Words can not describe the shock when I received this case for an Electric Bass Guitar (GWE-BASS) as well as the ABS Molded Case for Extra Long Electric Guitars!!! HARD STYROFOAM "SO-CALLED" PADDING UNDER THE INTERIOR CLOTH!!! ...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! RETURNED BOTH THIS GWE-BASS CASE “AND” THE EXTRA LONG ELECTRIC GUITAR CASE I PURCHASED. After this I'll NEVER buy another Gator case again! -- You don't even get what you pay for. Don't assume you'll get the industry standard for inside case padding! -- Once burnt, twice shy. ... show more
