Awesome guitar case. Great value. Love the thin profile.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

Style: ElectricVerified Purchase

I bought two of these. They're great. I have a Stratocaster in one and a PRS single cutaway SE in the other. They fit really well. The cases are sturdy. They look great. The latches work great. A great value. I will be ordering more as needed. Plenty strong enough to protect a guitar. Way better than a bag and just as good as any other guitar case. I can't say enough. Great looking. Comfortable sturdy handle. More than I expected.

Study Case. Good Value.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024

Style: ExtremeVerified Purchase

Bought this case for my "84 Explorer - which fits perfectly. It's well constructed with a very large storage space. A little thing I didn't notice until it arrived is that it has feet along the spine and bottom to keep it off the ground. I thought that a nice touch.

Not a perfect fit for a Squire CV 60s Jazzmaster

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024

Style: Jaguar/JazzmasterVerified Purchase

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.

Extreme Case: Know What Works and Doesn’t

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2024

Style: ExtremeVerified Purchase

I have two of these extreme cases in my house, as I have dogs and a young kid. These are good for the appropriate guitars, but I would try to ensure they fit yours ahead of time, as they are quite large in size, though relatively thin. They seem thinner than my ESP cases that I have, but not as durable. I would consider putting an ESP case on a plane, but I wouldn’t consider this just because of the open space dynamic and slightly thinner construction and padding. But for my needs, these extreme cases are fine.

The extreme version has worked for me with:
Schecter e1
Epiphone explorer
LTD EX-7 Baritone

I would assume this would work for a Snakebyte, as well.

Has not worked for me with:
ESP LTD Arrow
Schecter Abbath (V style)

Nice Hard Case for Electric Guitar

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024

Style: Les PaulVerified Purchase

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.

Will a Wolfgang Special Fit? Yes

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023

Style: ElectricVerified Purchase

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.

Great and useful

Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2023

Style: BassVerified Purchase

Bought this for my son who is learning to play guitar. Useful since he will be hauling the guitar around to and from lessons.

The case is solid. The locks are great and very secure. Inside - the lining is very plush and there is a small space to tuck small things away for ease when carrying.

One thing I noticed - the space inside the case is slightly more than needed. So we laid a small rolled up towel at the bottom and that adequately addressed the issue.

Case exterior is hard and tough. Exactly what I was looking for. I would buy this again.
