Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Unfortunately, the first shipment of this guitar case was inappropriately packaged and arrived damaged, having had the lower end of the case smashed at some time during shipment. It would be inadvisable to use this case as a shipping crate or to send it through airline luggage...at least not if you value your guitar. The molded plastic is definitely too thin and brittle to withstand shipment abuses. I do have to mention, however, that Amazon was EXCELLENT in quickly resending a replacement case appropriately packaged to prevent damage. In regard to the guitar case itself, the INNER sizing of this case does NOT fit a standard dreadnought guitar. I bought this case to protect my old Dobro, which fits in it fine. However, even though it's supposed to be a 'dreadnought' case, it was too shallow for my Fender DG-11 dreadnought. The lid pressed down on top of the bridge and the neck even before the lid closed all the way. I believe that closing/latching the lid would eventually have damaged the guitar body due to excessive pressure, particularly on the bridge area. The shell of the case itself is big enough, but the design of the inner lining eats up a lot of the depth of the actual case. The accessory compartment is roomy enough but sticks up too high and does not support or cradle the neck of the dreadnought. In addition to using a (better?) more resilient molded plastic, I think Gator needs to make some revisions to the design of the interior of the case so that it can actually be used for a standard 'dreadnought' style guitar.
