"Sire G5A Hard case"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Just so everyone knows, you can only get a gig bag for this guitar. I even got in touch with Sire and they do not make a hard case for this. Yesterday my son cane over with his bass and he had a Roadrunner hard case for his bass, the one for $130 bucks. Let me tell you i tried the G5A in the case and it fit just about perfect. Other than being about 5" longer than the guitar, it was a tight fit, just right actually. So please try this out for yourself. I went to 2 music stores in my area, including guitar center and they didn`t even try a bass case. But it works great and guitar doesn't move at all.
