Cases Traditional Series Hard-Shell Wood Case For 3/4 Sized Acoustic Guitars (GWE-ACOU-3/4)

I can't say enough good about this case. I bought this for my 50 year old Yamaha 12-string. The fit is not quite like a skintight glove - there might be 1/2 inch on either side of the upper bout, but I'm delighted - I had the guitar in its original hard case all these years, and this fits better and has much better padding than that original hard case. For comparison: My children gave me a Fender 6-string (without a case) for my birthday, and I bought another case, for $1 less, for the Fender. THERE IS NO COMPARISON in the quality of the cases. I was really picky about the measurements, and I bought a Fender case for this Fender 6-string, and the fit was really good (the 6-string in this GATOR case has extra headroom. So for fit, I made the right choice for each guitar. But, if you want strength in build and latches, the GATOR case is the case to buy. I didn't want identical cases (I wanted to be able to tell the guitars apart by just looking at the case, and I was very focused about fit) but I'm sorry I didn't just buy two of these and add a decal or two to the one holding the 6-string, as a way to distinguish between guitars. This is a FANTASTIC case, ESPECIALLY since circumstances were such that these two cases arrived a week apart, so comparison was inevitable! BTW: I bought the other for two reasons, fit and because I liked that there was a latch at the lowest end of the neck, near the handle. I didn't realize there would NOT be the standard two latches along the lower bout part of the case. So while both cases use 4 latches, on this GATOR case, there are two latches along the side, and two along the bottom (the lower bout), and that arrangement seems more secure. The latch near the handle appealed to me as a point of strength, but the GATOR case offers greater strength in every aspect of its construction. I LOVE this case.

Brand new, pristine condition, quick shipping! Fits perfect!!

I received this about six weeks ago and it's been fine. It's sturdy and attractively built. It's a bit heavy, but it's made of wood and you can expect that.When the case arrived, I understood immediately why some reviewers complained about damage to their cases. It was packed in a large rectangular box with no cushioning in it whatsoever. During shipping, the case would just have bounced around the shipping box. I was lucky there was no damage. The case was a little difficult to open it the first time because one of the latches was stuck. A quick twist with a screwdriver took care of the problem and it's worked perfectly since.The inside of the case is very nice. It's well padded and fits my 12-string guitar perfectly. Some reviewers have complained that their case didn't match the advertised measurements, but I found my case to be correctly sized. The storage compartment is large and can hold what I need it to hold.Overall, I'm happy with the case and found it to be a good value for the money.

My old 3/4 small sized guitar had been sitting in my closet for a while, getting in my way, and I wanted to be able to protect it from dust as well as be able to stack it on a shelf without damaging it. A hard case seemed like a much better solution than the other soft cases for this.The price was a bit high for my taste. I wish there were some cheaper hard case options but this seemed like the best option out there.The inside of the case is very nice and soft, with a convenient compartment to store a tuner etc.It has 3 clasps on one side and 1 clasp on the other. The middle of the three clasps has a lock on it.So while outside of the case to me looks like pleather that will degrade over time, the description says it's Tolex PVC which is supposed to be very durable and waterproof. I don't know yet about the longevity but I do see a lot of damaged photos in other reviews so I feel skeptical. Maybe it takes a really hard beating to damage the case but I am not sure.We'll see how it holds up over time. I'm really not too concerned personally as I just want it to be protected and don't care about scuffs.One last concern is the warning on another review that a chemical on this can cause cancer. I assume that it's probably some kind of fire retardant chemical. I'm hoping the exposure will be minimal as it will sit in the back of a closet and I think that many other things we're already exposed to have this chemical like mattresses etc. But I kind of wish they'd put this warning more prominently in the description.Overall the case looks nice. It does the job. I might have bought a different one if I'd noticed the cancer warning though.

Excellent quality case. Provides a snug, solid fit for my Martin Grand Concert. VERY pleased with this case (which is my second Gator case in addition to a DEEP BOWL model)

Excellent case. Solid, well built, exactly as described in the description.

Just got the case today, seems to be good quality and arrived in good condition. Wanted to make a note that it fits the Taylor 114CE and the Martin D-10E. Hope that helps someone!!!

I am utterly disappointed, not at the item, but at the shipping department. This is a beautiful, sturdy, great quality guitar case. However, it was damaged during shipping for lack of packing/shipping material. It was literally just put in a plastic bag and dumped in the shipping box. No packing/shipping material whatsoever!!!! Now I have to pay for packing material or UPS won't accept it in order to return it. I'd like to repurchase another case but don't want to risk having to return it, too.
