"2 Gator case Experience review"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
So I've seen guitar cases for years. Let me stop there. Why spend a penny no a 100$ more on a case when these cases are the same quality. Very nice very sleek. Anyones Only complaint is why not in different colors. At 99$ or 100$ it's as nice as all the other cases, and I don't leave reviews that would hurt someone else's feelings after receiving the product. This is good. I have it a perfect rating because guys it deserves it. I Would gladly give it less stars and show you guys the truth if that were the truth.

Musical Background:

Guys I just fit in I don't turn my guitar up in the music store. I turn it up in stage where people want to hear it

Musical Style:

All. Like literally all. Which one are you best at though all though really pick one all.

"Solid budget case for the price"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)

ok, there are way better cases out there, but also they cost a lot more. for $99.99 this is a good value. the outer "pleather" is pretty thin, and the case lid is a little janky. that being said, it's a solid case for transporting to a friend's house or what not and you'll have plenty of protection. my only complains is that it's a bit "snug" for strats and PRS SE silver skies (what I bought it for) but it molds to your guitar pretty quickly. I have an SKB Economy case in ABS plastic that I got for $200 and it's BARELY (and I mean BARELY) better quality than this one. and it was double the price. for a single benjamin this is definitely 95% the quality of the SKB at half the cost. Don't go expecting this to be a touring or gig case unless you only put it in the back of your car and don't toss it in a big truck with everyone else's gear. this is 100% a hobbyist case that allows you to keep it safe and secure for a dirt cheap price in your guitar room.

"Gator Case failure!"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)

Bought this for a PRS SE Standard because it's supposed to be a good match, unfortunately it's Not and "fits way to tight". The case also came with some Q.C. problems, the lid shut crooked and some of the Tolex was ripped where the bottom seam was glued together probably due to over stretching during fabrication. It's sufficient protection at a modest price "If it fits correctly" and you just want to keep the dust off, otherwise spend a little more.

"Sweet case!"

I received this case in less than a day and when I unboxed it, I was pleasantly surprised by how great it looked. I opened it up and again, I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is very plush and provides plenty of protection. The outside is beautiful and surprisingly sturdy at this price point. I had looked at several Fender cases and was shocked how much they cost. For $99 and some change I have a great new home for my Fender telecaster. I will probably end up buying a couple more for my strats. Thanks Zzounds!

"Not as good as others claim"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The case started out great and went downhill fast. The slightest knock or scratch and the cover material tears. That's a deal breaker in my book.Pros: The case is sturdy and protects your guitar wellLots of room in the inside pocket for your tuner, capo, etc. I even have a small music book in it.Lots of space around the headstock Cons: Flimsy cover material that tears easily and negates the water resistance.Heavier than expected, If you have to carry it any distance your arms get tired.A bit too roomy inside for my liking. There is a tremendous amount of space around the body and headstock. You can fit a polishing cloth and a LOT more in it. This doesn't take into account the large pocket for your gear.
Quality
The quality is lacking. As I said earlier the skin/covering material is way too thin and tears easily.
Value
I would never buy this particular model again. I own several Gator cases but this one is sub-par.
Manufacturer Support
I have not yet contacted the manufacturer.
The Wow Factor
It's a case for my guitar. It doesn't really make music but protects my music maker.

Musical Background:

Been playing musical instruments for over 4 decades.

Musical Style:

All styles.

"It works"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I got this case because I read a review that a Fender Telecaster would fit in it. What that review lacked is that it fits SNUG. I have to press the guitar into the case for it to fit. After some time I'm sure the case will "mold" to my tele but I just thought I should let you all know that before you buy it. I'm a pretty easy going musician but I know some people might be put off by that. The case has a soft interior and it appears to be very cheap but usable. If the insides of this case ever fall out, I'll just super glue it at a later date. Nice for what you pay for.The little storage cubby inside of the case is small. It fits my capo, a set of strings, picks and one lava cable. Sometimes you have to rearrange the things inside for the case to allow you to close it but again, I'm easy going.One of the latches on the outside seems to fit more loose than the others. Thankfully it's not a big deal when all of the latches are...erm.. latchedOverall it's a decent purchase. Keeps my tele out of a soft case.
