## Description

Gator’s GWE Hard‐Shell Wood Series GWE‐000AC provides a custom fit for your 000 short scale acoustic guitar at an unbeatable price. The lightweight design makes it an ideal option for daily storage and traveling to local gigs. The series is built from heavy‐duty plywood wrapped in a rugged Telex PVC plastic providing a safe, water resistant home for your acoustic guitar. The plush fabric interior lining cushions the guitar from bumps and bruises, holding it steady during transport. Storage for strings, picks, capos and accessories will not be an issue with the interior storage compartment built into the interior neck support area. Chrome plated lockable latches keep your acoustic guitar safe and sound while the comfortable ergonomic handle makes it easy to grab‐and‐go. When it comes to great protection at a great price, other cases simply can’t compete.

Review: Well built and perfect fit - This case is a perfect fit for my Martin 000-15SM which came with a soft case. The soft cases are lightweight which is a plus but they don’t provide the protection of a hard case. The soft case also uses a zipper which makes it harder to get into versus using latches. This Gator case is built well with 5 latches; one is keyed. There were no defects. It has a roomy compartment for picks, capos and tuners. The area below the headstock has plenty of room for the strap. I’m surprised at how good this case is for this price. The interior lining is very soft and cushy. I highly recommend this case for 000 guitars, especially the 000-15SM!
Review: Gator GWE-Classic - Very nice case, high quality buckles and liner, handle seems sturdy too. Fits my Gretsch Jim Dandy concert model perfectly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the inside measurements for depth, total length, width of lower and upper bouts. I need it to fit a Yamaha  CGS103AII 3/4 Size Classical?**
A: According to web site here are the measurements. Hope this helps:)Exterior dimensions: 39-3/4" H x 15.875" W x 5-1/2" DInterior dimensions: 38" H x 10-1/4" W (upper bout), 9-3/4" W (middle bout), 13-3/4" W (lower bout) x 4-3/4" DInterior body height: 19"

**Q: Will this case fit my Fender Squier acoustic guitar?**
A: I don't know. It will fit a classical 3/4 and 1/2, though. The back hinges (the side that doe snot open) on both our cases broke almost immediately, fyi, otherwise these are sturdy cases.

**Q: Hi, does this work for a Martin Backpacker? Thanks**
A: Sure, it will fit...but why carry a Martin Backpacker in this heavy, bulky case?  Have you looked at the Voyage Air Guitar?  It comes in a back pack case.  Amazon sells that too.

**Q: will it fit a gibson 25-12, 12 string acoustic**
A: We use it for a 3/4 size guitar and it fits great.
