Review: ENUF ROOM FOR A ‘BIRD AND THEN SOME - Love my BC Rich Mockingbird ST, but until now a good case meant shelling out $300. A 43”OAL case is tight and closes tighter. Went above my budget for this “Extreme” case, glad I did. Will invest in microfiber cloths to stabilize the lower bout; neck fit is great, under neck compartment for strap(s), iPad, etc. Latch closures are solid, interior padding is thick and plush, well finished and comfortable to carry. Not a small case, the point was not to crush the guitar when closing the lid.
Review: Left handed EVH - I have a few Gator items. I'm happy with all the bags and cases. They're well made. It's a way to save a few bucks but not get garbage. This case is a great deal if you ask me. It's a little tight but it's works. I actually like that it's so slim. It's easier for storage and it holds my guitar with it moving around. I have the more expensive case and it's great also. I just wanted to save a few bucks so I got this one. It fits my new EVH 5150 and it also fit my Strat. I'm left handed. So its important that my cases fit universal. A lot of times you will find cases that perfectly fit right handed. You need to check if you're a lefty like me. This will do the trick though. I prefer hard cases over bags for my guitars. This is basic. Has a spot for a bit of cables or whatever. The EVH just fits. If the body was any longer it wouldn't fit. So make sure your guitar will fit. It says it's made for strat style guitars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this case flight safe?**
A: I would say no, it's too thin to be thrown around by ramp hands and the plywood construction could crack. I would recommend the ATA plastic molded cases Gator makes for checked-in flight use.

**Q: Telecaster fit?**
A: Yes, a Tele fits in this case.

**Q: Will this fit a PRS SE Single-Cut?**
A: Yes! That's one that I have

**Q: will this fit an SE Santana and an SE 245? (I´m getting the new SE Zach Myers but i guess the dimensions are equal to the se245)**
A: Hello,This should help you figure it out:Interior Dimensions    Body Length: 18.00 "    Body Height: 3.25 "    Lower Bout Width: 13.00 "    Middle Bout Width: 13.00 "    Upper Bout Width: 13.00 "    Overall Length: 36.50 "- See more at: http://www.gatorcases.com/p/16136-768/gwe-elec-wide#sthash.0hPuEdXZ.dpuf
