    • Perfect fit for my Fender CP-60S Parlor Guitar
Style: Parlor Style
Review Image by James E. Neely James E. Neely
Review Image by James E. Neely James E. Neely
I was very pleased when this guitar case arrived and I saw the quality of it. It appears to be well made, and best of all, my Fender CP-60S "Parlor Guitar" fit it perfectly. Yes . . . this case is more "pricey" than a "gig bag", bu I wanted something that would protect the guitar well if I decide to take it back and forth between where we spend summers and where we spend the winters. The top and bottom are well fitted to each other, it has four secure latches along the front and a secure handle for carrying, as well as bumper supports on the outside where necessary for sitting flat on a surface or on its side with the handle and latches up. The inside has a nice plush lining and the form of the case holds the guitar securely and in place. The interior design of the case provides for very good neck support and there is a storage compartment built into the neck support which provides ample room for picks, tuner, spare strings, tuner winder for re=stringing and a small set of jeweler's size side cutters for clipping old strings when putting on new ones and for trimming excess string length. I play, collect and restore antique fiddles, and I believe in having decent cases to protect those instruments. I have no doubt that this Gator Case will last for many years and provide excellent protection for the guitar. Would I purchase a Gator Case again? Yes - without any hesitation! The lightweight of it combined with the interior fit and protective ABS outer shell make it ideal for protecting my guitar. ... show more

    • Beautiful, Reliable, Fits a Dreadnought too

The case is solid, fits my Jumbo Harley Benton acoustic perfectly and has room for a pedal, strap and miscellaneous items. The thing is beautifully made. Risked buying this one for a plane trip as Gator had no TSA cases for jumbo acoustics. It survived virtually intact to 2 connecting flights, except for a merely cosmetic nick in the upper (headstock) part. Great case for the price, and I was surprised positively when I figured out my Strinberg dreadnought guitar fits in nicely through the jumbo mold! So if you’re looking for a case that will fit both this might do the trick. Would definitely buy it again! ... show more

    • Strong Reliable Safety for Your Style of Guitar
Style: Classical
I used to play in rock bands long ago and later began to play more of the classical style. I have used guitar cases from Gator a long time. For my Ovation, a Gretsch Hollow body, my electrics solid body and now my Cordoba Classical Guitar. I am about to buy another one for my Dreadnought. The quality of the hardshell case always gives me assurance my guitar is as safe as it can possibly get. We all know the rugged environment of stage performances. Microphone stands and cords abound, not to mention the amps and sound boards and even the rattle of a drum trap set. A few drunk performers and things get rowdy and equipment can take a beating. These cases are like a tank, hard to penetrate and reassuring to use. The quality is built in with a soft cushioned interior to protect your money-maker guitar. The outer shell is rugged, durable and attractive as guitar cases go. It functions the way it was designed to function to protect that guitar you would protect as if she was your woman. ... show more

    • Very Nice, Reasonable Price
Style: Parlor Style
This is a very well made, reasonably priced, quality case. It fits my Guild P-240 parlor guitar like a custom made case. Very pleased with this purchase.

    • The parlor case is oversized, buyer beware
Style: Parlor Style
I got this parlor case for a parlor resonator guitar, but it was way big for a typical 3/4 sized parlor guitar. It is a good fit for a 00 sized guitar though. I was able to use the case for a nice standard sized 00 guitar I had which was a perfect case for this "parlor" case, but my small parlor reso guitar was way to small for this case. Not sure why gator has not figured this out as I have their parlor sized standard wood/toltex 3/4 sized case and it fit my 3/4 sized Jim Dandy perfect. The issue might be related to the fact that "parlor" is a ambiguous generic term that encompasses about anything from 00 to 3/4 sized guitars, but most people think of a parlor guitar as a 0 or 3/4 sized guitar with max length about 37" length. I have several of these cases in different sizes and they are great cases, lightweight, reasonably strong, and hold humidity well and protect from temperature swings when traveling better than most. The hinges and latches are OK, but I am careful with my cases and always close and latch them when I remove a guitar or put it back inside. The pop rivets that hold the latches and hinges can come loose with time, but it is an easy fix. The hinges could be stronger, they are a trade off of strength versus weight I accept. I prefer these light weight ABS cases over the stronger more burly heavy traditional wood/toltex cases. The TSA version is a step up in quality, but TBH, I would not be using either of these cases to fly without understanding the risk of damage is very real and they are only so strong. ... show more

Amazon had sale on these I measured my classical guitar.it fits.this case is so much. Better than those thin cases that were around in early 80s .i know it’s not the best but I have a case that looks good and offers way more protection than I had, thanks Amazon for having sale, it’s sad I did not buy several at that price. It came in great shape in a box wrapped in a gator marked bag, ... show more
