Gator Cases Lightweight Polyfoam Electric Guitar Case with Protective Foam Lining

Samuel Gable: Well crafted and solid. Very nice lining. Good fit. Light weight. Everything I was hoping for. I will be buying a couple more in the near future.

Geoff Field: I feel very confident that my guitar will be very well protected in this case. Very lightweight too.

Keith Hamilton-SmithKeith Hamilton-Smith: This is a great case, and I figured I’d give a detailed review, so buckle up. I highly recommend purchasing this, as it fits my Schecter AM-6 snugly and securely with no movement inside the case. And, mind you, it’s not a forceful fit either… it’s as snug as a case should be. The exterior zipper pockets hold a couple bags of strings, as well as a couple of instrument cables, and the interior pockets harbour enough space for the usual suspects (see the attached photo). Having no lid on these interior compartments is not a problem for me personally, and although the photos don’t do a great job of showing it, there is a little extra padding jutting out into these interior compartments when the case is closed. So, they are sealed shut when everything is zipped up completely (not even a pick could weasel its way out). The case is quite rigid and has the right amount of heft to it (it’s not a hard case for sure, but offers more ease of mind than a gig bag). The zipper quality is rugged, the exterior fabric feels heavy duty, and the interior plush fabric is the same as any other quality case. The only thing this case would not be suited for is flight travel - it would likely...

Gustave A.: Livraison correcte.
Produit de très bonne qualité.
Bons compartiments pour rangement des accessoires. J'ai pu y ranger une guitare basse fretless à diapason long. Seuls insuffisance notées: la poignée de saisie en mode malette pas assez confortable. La sangle de transport en mode verticale peut être mieux positionnée.

Johanna H: A well made, lightweight, and highly functional case, it has protected my prized P-Bass and has pockets for extra strings, short cables, and my wireless unit, as well as power supply. Highly recommend.

Amazon Customer: I went back and forth between a Gibson hard case or a gig bag, researching all the options (not a lot of case options that form fit for SG style guitars). I found this Gator bag/case at a good price and had a similar style case for my Flying V, which I liked, and was at a good price here on Amazon. I was going to pull the trigger on a Gibson Protector case but decided to give this one a try first and I’m glad I did. This case is solid like a hard case would be but operates like a gig bag (including shoulder straps). The case is well built, very solid (no flex) and very light. Hesitate not..you won’t regret this purchase.

JuanJuan: La funda está bien. No es fea, pesa poco, pero tiene algún pero:
He probado a meter mi ltd ec-1000 y mi fender stratocaster.
La ltd para meterla hay que forzar la funda porque no entra bien. Entra demasiado ajustada, solo puedes meterla forzando los bordes. Moverse no se va a mover ni un milímetro. Incluso a la hora de cerrar la funda también hay que forzar la tapa. No estoy seguro que sea muy saludable para este modelo, porque como digo, hay que forzar tanto la guitarra, como la funda, y tal vez la culpa sea el material de la funda, que por fuera se ve ese terciopelo negro, pero es solo una tela de terciopelo adherida a una estructura DE CORCHO. Un material poco maleable y muy poco blando.
Es decir: si compras esta funda, tu guitarra quedará asentada en una base de corcho revestida con una tela de terciopelo. Aprietas y el tacto es duro. Para mis guitarras me hubiera gustado algo mas suave.
La fender stratocaster entra mas suave. No es que llegue a bailar, pero no hay que forzar el estuche para que entre.
Creo que el problema es por la estructura de corcho, que es muy poco maleable. Tal vez lo suyo hubiera sido que al menos los bordes fueran de un material...

Falcon1620: I like gator cases. This one is a good bass case. Fit my Schecter just fine. it has nice padding some ridgitiy on the outside and protects my stuff. I love this case. It's got some pockets and things. Most bases I've had I've used their cases to protect. The Schecter is a little short but it's been fine. It's got decent padding. I transport my heat in here in the car and Cary it around like it's an instrument so I'm not "bahgage handler rough" on them . My Dean was a little tight but after a week or two fit perfectly. Just needed some time to mold into it nice and snug. This is nice because it's a little lighter than the gator hard case and still great protection. Gator is awesome about customer service and questions form my experience as well. Good next support. Good bottom support where all the staps go. A little foam block for shorter bases would work if air traveling but it had nice padding and a snug secure fit. I've been happy with gator gear it's worth it. Keep it nice 👌 👍

Dave Thorson: Update: I was about to return my Gator case, sadly because except for size it was exactly what I wanted. I thought maybe I could crush the foam at each end of the case enough to make it fit my guitar. Put the guitar in the case to see how much to squish and the guitar fell right into place. What happened? I put the headstock in first this time. The foam is hollowed out more at that end near the the bottom of the case (at least I think that's what's going on). If I put the bottom neck strap pin in first, in the space hollowed out for it, the headstock does not fit at the other end. Needs another inch or so before it will go in. If I put the headstock end in first, everything lines up better and I have a VERY snug fit. So I'm increasing my stars from 2 to 5 (I'm reviewing the case, NOT the packaging). No longer returning, happy again. Gator also responded to my comment, very important to see that they care. So, your mileage may vary, but this case works for me.

Original review:

Description says it holds a guitar up to 39.5" long, with body length up to 19". My guitar is that size (I measured before buying). Body length dimension is about 1/2" too short and overall...

Rob M: UPDATE: I gave a short review of this 2 years ago, so here's the update: I still use this case on a regular bassis (pun unfortunately intended), it still looks great, no major issues. This easily fits J-basses and P-Basses with very little wiggle room, but for a 5-string J-bass close, I found that the case is a big snug (read: I wouldn't use the case on a regular basis with this particular style of bass since the body bulges the case), but it does fit my cheap Fernandez 5-string.

Only two minor issues are that the mesh front pocket is worthless. I caught it on something when sliding it into the van, and it tore. No reason to have the mesh front pocket. Second, the velcro on the handstrap doesn't work very well. It's like they needed to make the flap a little longer, but even if it doesn't hold, it doesn't affect how I carry the bass.

I've never used the shoulder strap, there were a couple of times I wished for backpack straps.

Using a stencil, I painted my logo on the case with acrylic paints, and the material takes to the acrylics very well. Overall, I like this case a lot, and it tends to get used a lot because it's so light and it protects the...
