Like many who read this, I spent time looking at the various cases - and really liked the way the Fender tweed cases looked. They were on the expensive side - around $150. And, I finally noticed they weighed around 13 pounds. 5 layers of plywood. The cheaper versions caught my eye - they were much less, are made of 3 layers of plywood, and the reviews indicated 'they are more protective than a gig bag'. Great. Then I started thinking that what I wanted to do was to protect the guitar - and would likely spend little admiring the nice tweed fabric - which apparently is very susceptable to dirt and wear. I noticed the Gator case. Seem them. Seemed to be very strong and extraordinarily protective. If I want to protect it, maybe this was the case. I noticed one of the reviews which complained the storage compartment was open - so I hesitated. The more I looked at the pictures the more it seemed the lid would fit over that part, making it secure. So, after a few weeks of looking here and elsewhere, I ordered a Gator case. It arrived on the 5th day - as did everything else I ordered. Opened the box - which was large - and took out the packing and the case. Its made of very thick plastic and a nice grain pattern - has Gator Case on an inset piece. Has 3 of what looks like very heavy duty latches and the type of key lock used on airlines. The inside is molded with a plush fabric covering - probably sprayed on, but certainly more than sufficent to protect the finish of a guitar. It is made so that the guitar body fits against the side preventing movement - its not crushing, it fits. The neck goed into a padded indentation. And the two storage areas are on each side of the neck. I put some picks and strings in one side, and a strap in the other, closed and latched the case - then first carried it as you normally would, put it on its end - did not hear any shifting. Checked. Nada. Closed it back up and actively shook it in every way and orientation I could. Opened it back up - and nothing had shifted. The guitar was in place. None of the picks had migrated as the lid does indeed seal off the storage compartments. You cannot crush the case by standing on it - and I weight 200 pounds. If you want to protect your guitar this is unbeatable. Looks good. And is less than half the cost of some of the wooden type cases - and comparable to the low end wooden ones. But this is a far superiour product.

These cases offer reasonable protection for guitar storage around the house and for careful transport. Not designed to be thrown around by Roadies; but do offer protection from kids and pets, who don't cherish your instruments as you do. This is my fifth Gator; this one was purchased as a gift for my best friend, for a new telecaster. So far, I have been very pleased with their quality and functionality.
