  • Nice Hard Case for Electric Guitar
Style: Les Paul
I ordered this for my daughter's new electric guitar. It is a well-constructed guitar case with a hard-shell. The first one I received was damaged, but Amazon replaced it, and although the outside of the first one was severely damaged, the interior of the case was unaffected, so it would have protected the contents well. It is a little snug for her guitar (Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro-IV), but it fits. The hinges and closing clips are well-made and operate easily. It has 4 clips to close it -- 3 on the handle side and 1 on the hinge side. The middle one on the handle side has a lock. The padding is soft, with a plush faux-fur lining. It has 2 accessory compartments -- one above the head and one under the neck of the guitar. Overall, we are very happy with this case -- just make sure you are careful with the measurements. ... show more

  • Came well packed and quick, solid bang for the buck
Style: Electric
Unlike some of the other reviews here, mine came well protected with packing paper and wrapped in plastic - I noted before purchase several here did not have that experience in the past so I guess the manufacturer listened. Solid case, not too heavy - wouldn't trust it with the luggage crews for a flight, but that isn't what this is for. Well padded, plush interior, looks great, fit my Donner DST-152 which I bought it for perfectly and has a plenty spacious accessories compartment. Great bang for the buck, can't believe how much cheaper it is to get a good wood hard shell case compared to 20 years ago when this would have been (not even adjusting for inflation) $300 easily. Something you may overlook but will appreciate is the rounded corners that others don't offer in this price range. What else to say? It's a good, nice looking wood hard shell case on a budget, it does what it says and what you intend it to do. Oh, and the hardware has a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, so they stand behind the product. ... show more

  • Not a perfect fit for a Squire CV 60s Jazzmaster
Style: Jaguar/Jazzmaster
Does not fit a Squire CV 60s Jazzmaster snugly. For the money, the case is alright - not great. A (Squier CV 60s) Jazzmaster will fit into the case, but top to bottom there's about 1/2 inch of space or so, and side to side it's at least an inch (probably more because the interior material is pretty fluffy and you can easily compress it without much force at all). So that means the guitar is going to slide around, unless you resort to stuffing in some foam or cushioning - that won't interact with the finish - to get a snug fit. I really wish Squier would just make their own branded, form-fitting cases like Epiphone does. ... show more

  • Another Gator product that worked for me so well!
Style: Electric
I've purchased Gator photo products a number of times,.....Photo gear backpack, photo shoulder bag and a few other cases and in every case they were keepers and were exactly what I had hoped to receive. I needed a hard case for my Generic Telecaster .......and this case was perfect for fit and has very adequate protection inside. The fit was perfect for my Tele .....it just laid in place perfectly as if this case was (custom) made for it. The handle on this case is off-set for perfect balance. It's to one side by ⅓ or so away from the center of the case. Given a solid body Telecaster is heavier all towards the main body, I was delighted to find that my guitar in this case allowed for a perfect balance when using the handle. The case was dead level in hand when carrying it. The exterior of this case is solid and protective. My take is for those who might treat the case w/ guitar in it roughly when loading/unloading and/or during travel, the case is going to hold up fine and more importantly, protect what is in it! 5 Stars all around! Another Gator product for me that is a keeper! Very pleased with this case all around! ... show more

  • Will a Wolfgang Special Fit? Yes
Style: Electric
I bought a Wolfgang Special, and they do not come with a case. For some reason, this company won't answer if a Wolfgang will fit. You get "we recommend measuring your guitar and comparing the dimensions to the case.." and "...we believe it should fit..." -- I am here to say, it will fit. You can see it in the picture. Pop off the whammy bar and the case closes on it nice and snug. No sliding around in there. With that being said, I only use this case for storage, and to take to Wolfie to the guitar doctor (a luthier) once in a while. It is kind of flexible/flimsy. It is NOT something you would want to put a guitar in to ship it, or to protect it on your world tour. ... show more

  • Quality issues but not terrible
Style: Extreme
The quality of this case is not the best when I pulled it out of the box one of the latch pieces on the top of the Case was missing because the screws fell out. I found it in the bag a lil later after searching but the screws are no ware to be found. Luckily I’m handy with tools so fixing these issues isn’t a big deal for me. Arrived in the box inside of a bag scratched has tears in the material in some spots and with some dents. Also missing some screws for the center pocket and they are not aligned very well. I included pictures of the wholes from factory and the dimensions didn’t match up right but again I’m handy with tools so fixing these issues was not a problem. If I wasn’t struggling to find a case for my Washburn 333 I would’ve sent this back. The case will do its job and the inside is padded and is very nice. There’s just some quality issues they need to fix. It made me laugh when I saw there was an inspection card because I wondered how this passed. Lots of room for a variety of shapes and easily fixable even if your not handy with tools. Poor build quality but again given the situation it was a decent choice for the price. 6/10. More like a 60-70 dollar case in my opinion. I want to get some money back but again it’s nothing I can fix myself may be different for other people hope this helps ... show more
