  • Sturdy, fits my Squier Strat and affordable
Style: Electric
I love the case, seems sturdy enough and was very affordable. Fits my Squier Stratocaster perfectly.

  • 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 case for a great price.
Style: Electric
I've purchased two of these. I think they're excellent cases at a great price. Obviously, if you gig heavily and they get thrown around by moving gorillas, etc... they're not going to hold up, but what will outside of a ATA road case? As stated, I've purchased two of these. I bought one from a rather large, online, music retailer that includes candy in their packages at the same time I bought my Reverend Eastsider T (a Tele style guitar). One thing you need to know is that a Tele will fit, but there will be about a 2-3 inch gap that the guitar can slide. So, if you open the case and are looking down at the guitar body, it can slide from left to right that distance. There is no slack from front from to back (where the hinges are). Also, once the lid is closed, the guitar is held in place so the guitar is held in place so don't freak out when you see the gap. It's fine. I bought the second one off of Amazon for my 70th Anniversary Player Stratocaster that came with a cheap, good for nothing, gig bag. Unlike a Tele style, the Stratocaster fits perfectly with no side to side or front to back movement. Bottom line, I'd recommend this case to anyone that needs reliable protection at home, or for light gigging (where you are personally handling the instrument for load in/out). ... show more

  • I'm very impressed with this guitar case.
Style: Electric
This is a very impressive guitar case. You can lock it if you want to. What impressed me the most was the perfect fit of my Fender Squier guitar. The inside liner is so soft and just the right amount of storage for my picks. The black color is just what I was looking for. This case looks like its made of a very sturdy material. I want have any worries of traveling with my guitar in case in my car now. ... show more

Looks great and holds everything I need for my Telecaster. Very durable and has enough padding to protect it. It does lock and has 2 keys with it. It a little on the heavy end but it is expected for a quality cas
