  • 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

Style: Electric
Fits one of my basic electric guitars, but was meant to be for another next time. I’ll just walk into guitar city.

  • Great case for the bucks !
Style: Electric
PROS: This is the second of these cases I’ve bought (for other guitars), and am very pleased with the quality of these cases. They are a little heavy, but seem more than durable for local travel. NOT a road case, but a solid case nonetheless. CONS: I will say this, they can run a little small. The last one I bought for a Bass, was a snug fit, especially with the strap locks adding length overall, so give yourself a little more length when measuring. Also, the inside of the case, where the storage compartment is, sets up too high. It still fits well, but the neck rest inside the of the case, puts added pressure on the neck, but doesn’t worry me at all. Plush enough that it feels well protected. Would like to see a snap strap added for extra stability. Will buy again…cause I need another Bass….😬 ... show more

  • This is my 6th Gator!
Style: 335 – Semi-hollow
This is my 6th Gator hardcase! I have them to protect my babies in my home studio. These cases perform well for my needs. They might not survive the Roadies in a professional environment, but I have found them to of excellent quality considering their price point!

  • 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

  • Beautiful Guitar Case
Style: Electric
Great looking solid body electric guitar case. Solid outside with nice latches with a lock. Plush inside to give lots of cushion to protect your guitar. A professional looking case for not much money.
