Strong, Well Built Great
The case is very well made and is well worth the price.The outer casing is very strong, the metal joining the two sides together including the hinges is of a high quality and isn't cheap and tacky.The inside protects the guitar very well, it has a soft fabric that the guitar can sit on and it will protect the guitar well.The shape of the inside is shaped to fit an electric guitar so it's secured into position as you travel.There is also two slot on the left and right of the guitar neck where you can store additional items, i've got my main guitar lead in one, an MXR pedal in the other can i have another guitar lead in the same slot as the MXR. Perfect fit.You can store you picks or anything in there and it's secured in.I leave a bag of picks in the guitar section.The only point of criticism which is only very slight, depending on how your using your case is the lock.The lock isn't the best lock in the world.There are latches which hold the sides together which are very well built and the center latch is the only one with a locking mechanism.The lock could easily be forced open but no one is really going to do that if your in the same room as your guitar so the lock will do it's job. Hence 5 out of 5 stars.

Ideal budget buy!
I purchased this case I recently bought a Mexican telecaster and diddn't trust my gig bag to protect it. I have owned gator cases before so When I saw this was on sale for £59 instead of £75 I jumped to the opportunity.There were some cheaper cases I found but most of them were a curved shape specific to each guitar model and I wanted something more universal to throw any of my guitars in. The cheaper cases all seemed to be made of wood, Whether wood is better or not for protection I am unsure as I know most high end cases are wooden but this heavy duty ABS seems like a no brainer to me.The case is really robust and seems really durable. I don't know if its on the level that id want to throw it on a plane but it wouldn't surprise me if after doing so it remained intact. The case is really light too despite its rigidity which is a big plus since most of the weight when you are carrying it comes from the guitar itself.The case has a tag on top to write any contact details if it was lost (although a good idea I do wish it was removable as it is glued on) and on the side a simple gator logo. Around the case you'll find a strong carrying handle and 3 clips to hold the case closed, one of which is lockable with the included 2 keys. Inside the case everything is perfectly lined with a soft, black, fur-like material. While the moulding inside is firm and holds its shape very well there is still some flexibility if things don't fit perfectly as I could when trying my Schecter Omen Extreme FR in this case. The headstock of this guitar is slightly longer than most but with a bit of pressure everything squeezed in firmly. My Telecaster however was slightly different, the body is slightly shorter than the common Strat shape so the body had some free space to move (only an inch or so) up and down, not horizontally though as the neck is held firmly in place. This isn't a massive issue since the inside is so well padded but if you plan to use this with just one guitar check the inner dimensions listed on the product page. Also inside there are some pockets for some cables, strings, straps, capos or whatever it is that you carry with you which is a nice touch.Overall a great buy and I strongly recommend this case especially if you just want a one fits all type deal. Even if this case was not on sale I still would have picked it up and been just as happy with it as I am now. Yes there are cheaper cases but I guarantee you won't be getting the robust strength and quality.

Perfect and safe storage for my guitar
I bought this for my Gibson SG, and it's a perfect fit and is very good quality. Definitely worth the money.

although I honestly wouldn't like to keep testing it
Fit my classic guitar (admira flamenco) perfectly (I did measure it first) enough room to put a T-shirt on top it and tuck it in to the edges.Survived 2 short Europeon flights with the case receiving some very minor scuffs, although I honestly wouldn't like to keep testing it.Case is not super heavy and feels pretty sturdy. Small compartment on the inside which could out a few things in but not a lot. Its a little bigger all round than a ps4 controller.My only complaint is the key and lock is a bit weak and fiddly. You do need it as the latches can be knocked whilst being transported.Overall, great for the money and considering classic guitars are already super light this really isnt a hassle to carry is worth protecting your guitar.Hope this helps.

Which Bass case???
I bought this with a view to storing a 4-string J-type bass in it. Currently, it contains an Ibanez SRF 705 (5-string shorter bodied) bass which also fits snuggly too!Sturdy construction from a trusted manufacturer at a good price point.

It's a really big box...
My large Gretsch hollow body needs to get looked at. I acquired this travel case to take it to the repair shop and I'm quite happy with what I ordered.The case looks like your fairly standard travel case. The outside is pretty hard and quite solid. Something built to take a good knock or two. The actual weight of the thing is as expected, quite heavy and even more so with the guitar in it. I didn't have a problem with the clasps. It opened right up, the guitar fit in quite snuggly and closed without a problem.I was a little concerned that it was going to smoosh my tremolo bar as it is a very snug fit, as mentioned above. But it seems to be okay with it tucked in behind the bridge. There was no rocking around when the case was in motion and no bumps were had. I really can't complain.I obviously can't say whether this travel case is good for serious gigging, especially travel that involves the questionable package handlers at airports. But it was perfect for what I needed it for and I can't complain.

Perfect fit for the Gretsch G5622T
I put Gretsch G5622T in the title because that is the exact guitar I was trying to find a case for. This case is really sturdy and was a much better price than buying an official Gretsch one. Some people will want the Gretsch name on their case, I'm sure, but for me, it's just a case! I just want one that is sturdy and reliable, and this case ticks those boxes.
