Gator GC-DREAD Deluxe Molded Case For Dreadnought Acoustic Guitars

These molded cases used to feel insanely sturdy. Not so much anymore.Will it keep my guitar safe? Sure.Would I trust it enough to fly with it? Probably not.Decent enough for the money to use at home and carting around town. But if you wanna fly with it I'd suggest something more rugged. You can't trust this to survive an airport anymore. Even the padding inside doesn't feel as thick anymore. I've had several of these over 20 years and this is probably the last one I will buy.- 1 starAlso the latches are annoyingly clacky and finicky as they don't line up quite right. - 1 star

The case seems to be of good quality and is well made and finished. I'm using it for an Irish Bouzouki/tenor mandolin, so it's a little long for that instrument. But it's very difficult to find a specialized case for that instrument. Hoping that the ABS material stands up well. I have heard of ABS used in instrument cases breaking, but thought it was worth a try.

VERY NICE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CASE . WELL MADE AND GOOD PRICE

This Gator Cases Deluxe Molded Guitar Case (GC-APX) is a perfect fit for my son's Yamaha TransAcoustic Concert guitar FS-TA and provides a superior level of protection without adding a lot of weight.This is a hard shell case. The case is made of a textured, molded, ABS, plastic. It features aluminum edges, latches and feet. Inside, there is a plush, black, lining and padding at key areas. There is a built-in box under the neck for picks, capos, slides, pedals, strings, tuners, etc. It comes with two keys for the locking latch. The carry handle feels good in your hand and is well placed for good balance. The workmanship is excellent - no issues at all there.The best level of protection in a guitar case is one where the guitar fits snugly into the case so there is little to no movement possible once the instrument is in the case. Therefore it's hard to buy a case online that you are certain will be an excellent fit for your guitar. I read on another website that this case was hand tested to be a perfect fit for my son's particular guitar. I ordered from Amazon because I know that returns are easy through Amazon in case it didn't fit. Fortunately, the Yamaha FS-TA fits so perfectly, it seems like it was custom made for the guitar. Since my son hauls his guitar around pretty much everywhere he goes, I am pleased to have gotten him such a protective case. He is pleased with how lightweight it is and how well his guitar fits inside.I can't speak to other guitars but if you have a Yamaha FS-TA, this is probably the best case available for it.

Great case for my 12 string Fender Fits like it was made for the guitar, and well packed so no damage, it has a nice little accessory compartment to hold picks and strings and my Snark tuner, The Fender CD100-12 fits like it was made for the case, This is an expensive case but when you consider how long you may have a guitar, it is a worthwhile investment, I expect that with reasonable care, the case will protect the guitar for many years, barring a gorilla jumping on it,

Looks strong.
