Doesn't fit a Guild Polara S-100 without modification, but it's a great case so it's worth it
There aren't a lot of hard cases available for a Guild Polara. It looks kinda like a Gibson SG it's not exactly the same shape and dimensions. This case was "close" to fitting perfect, but the left horn was slightly too long and the strap button on the base of the neck protruded too far.Fortunately it's very easy to modify. Bend a clothes hanger into a hook and slip it between the foam and side of the case to grab and pull up the felt lining. Carefully peel back the felt to expose the foam underneath. Remove foam using a sharp knife/hot wire/etc. When you're happy with the fit, carefully spray some contact cement/spray adhesive onto the foam and press the lining back into place. Quick, easy, perfect fit, no movement.In case you're curious, under the felt is white styrofoam. So if your guitar is really close to fitting you can just force it in and it'll take the shape pretty well. Mine wasn't close enough, so I had to modify it... but it was totally worth it. The case itself is amazing.Pros:- The shell is super rigid, it's difficult to even make it flex when pushing down on the side.- The plastic latches are great, they self align so you don't need to screw around with them to get them to close- The carry handle is big and comfortable- It's very well balanced when the guitar is inside, so it's easy to carry.- Not terribly heavy, especially for the amount of protectionAlso, it's worth noting that when the felt was peeled back, I was there was a thinner area of foam with a void in it. They had reinforced it with a piece of plywood on the outside and some extra soft foam on the inside. Arguably, it would be better for them to toss the foam and use a perfect casting instead, but it still shows they have a good level of quality control and care about protecting your guitar.Cons:- One of the latches is floppy, so it doesn't stay in the up position when opened. It has to be moved out of the way when closing the case, which is a little annoying.

The best guitar case for long travels
The absolute best guitar case for travel. On the plane or ship it via DHL. All you have to do is put on tag on it and it ships out safely. I did this from Australia to New Orleans. It will last a life time

Great case
This is a great case. I checked it as baggage for a three-transfer flight and felt no worries. Very sturdy, and the lock seems solid enough to prevent accidental opening. At the same time, it is very easy to carry around and fits in most cars.

Sturdy case, definitely recommend
Cannot recommend this enough. I bought this to transport my Fender Jazz bass when flying across the country. I checked the case and the case and the bass made it through the journey completely unscathed. It's sturdy and actually lightweight. There's also different compartments to store accessories for your instrument as well. The locks work well and are TSA approved. Absolutely worth the price.

AWESOME
This is a great case! I needed a case that would make it on a flight overseas. The case and my bass made it in perfect condition. FYI... The light for the inside requires batteries (you have to buy)

Really good case, except for heat.
Purchased this case for a trip to the Middle East. Case held up really well between airline and military transports and those guys were NOT gentle with it. This is a case that can take a beating over and over again and keep coming through fine.However, and this is something I did not do my proper research on beforehand so totally my fault, the case does warp in direct, prolonged sun exposure. On the day it did this it was about 90 degrees and the outer casing plastic developed a nasty warp and the interior glue for the lid strap completely melted off. Once again I put it through just about the mot extreme heat situation this thing could face and after it cooled down the warp, while still present, was MUCH less noticeable and with zero damage to my insturment or accessories.Overall I feel like the case held up its end pretty well considering.
