Jamie Shep: Fits our sons 3/4 (junior) guitar perfectly.

Debbie Cooper: My son is very happy with his new guitar case.

Stephen A.: This case fit my 1994 Marlin perfectly, and at 1/3 the price for other cases. It’s very sturdy, not cheap pressed cardboard. It has 4 latches and can be locked. Plenty of room inside for pics, capo, spare strings, etc and a shoulder belt.

Ron Anderson: You can’t go wrong with this case. It’s durable on the outside and plush on the inside providing top notch protection for your guitar. And to top it all off it comes with a lifetime warranty. I bought this case for my Gretsch Jim Dandy flat top and the fit is perfect. If you’re looking for an awesome case you found it. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You’ll be glad that you did.

R: Dope case. Good price.

Heath FergusonHeath Ferguson: This is a great little case for my 3/4 Dean guitar, but it was poorly packed in an oversized box, so it came really badly scuffed on one corner. I don't care about that because I expect this case to get scuffed anyway, but it would be nice if it were pristine to start with.

jonathan: ***************ADVERTENCIA*****************
No se equivoquen como yo, que las medidas de la case parecen que eran exactas para mi guitarra, tengan en cuenta que son medidas externas, por lo que tienen que considerar el recubierto interior de 1-2cm extra de terciopelo.

NO CABE UNA
Fender cd-60sce

PRODUCTO:
Gati GWE-CLASSIC Estuche de Madera Ultra-Resistente para Guitarra Clásica

PROS:
Cubierta rigida, resistente, cubierta en imitacion de piel.
Soportes inferiores para colocar el case en el piso sin que la cubierta toque el piso y evite rayones.
Interior imitacion de terciopelo.
Compartimiento interno donde puedes guardar accesorios de guitarra (capo, cuerdas, afinador, slide)
3 Seguros de acero cromados, se ven simples pero duraderos
El seguro de enmedio tiene cerradura (llaves estan en el compartimiento dentro del case)

CONS
Los seguros se ven basicos, se ve que podrian romperse a la larga o fallar.
La envian en una bolsa (dentro de caja amazon) asi que espera daños cosmeticos.

*********Comentarios finales****************
Yo la tuve que devolver en cuanto la recibi porque mi guitarra era un poco mas grande...

MusicatMusicat: I don't know what's going on with Amazon packaging these days - this is the second consecutive order i've received that has been damaged in transit - it seems to have gone from rain forest damaging wasteful use of paper overkill i.e. a tiny product in a box, in a bigger box, to flimsy polythene bags.

Ironic that a hard case designed to protect an instrument should arrive with a hole in the side (see photo). So it's second time lucky and hence this review. Despite the transit mishap, which says more about the courier that Amazon uses these days than the sturdiness of the Gator case, it is well made with a padded plush lining and set of keys (also "Life Time" Guarantee).

I bought the hard case so i could tale a small guitar with me on holiday, to add to my enjoyment and relaxation instead of miss playing my guitar(s)!
Most questions concerning this 3/4 case seem to be about what it fits. I found it recommend on an American parlour guitar forum website and researched it's internal dimensions in comparison to my Tanglewood Parlour Guitar, which has typical 0 size instrument dimensions. But i would advise anyone considering this case for their parlour to measure:...
