Gator Hard-Shell Wood Case for 3/4 Size Acoustic Guitars

Really good well made case for the £75 price. Sturdy and strong and good latches. VERY tight fit for 1994 Epiphone Bluesmaster - involving a small alteration made to to the shell to accommodate end pin. Stated dimensions are exact so don't assume there is any give. But all in all happy with this purchase and value.

I own a turn of the 20th century parlour guitar which I rebuilt a few years ago. Beautiful but small body with lovely tone. I needed a solid case for travel this year. (I have a case already which is fine but big.) I measured and re-measured the guitar to compare with the measurements shown for the case and ordered it. It arrived and to my surprise it fit perfectly! I was very pleased. VERY PLEASED! The quality of the build and fittings (hinges, latches, lock and handle) are all first rate. The inner lining and padding fit around the guitar snugly but are not tight. The total package is Excellent Quality...and superb value for money. It feels solid and I feel will protect the guitar very well. Let's hope the airlines don't test it to hard. I've had excellent good baggage experience so let's hope it continues. Thanks Gator, thanks Amazon.

I don't know what's going on with Amazon packaging these days - this is the second consecutive order i've received that has been damaged in transit - it seems to have gone from rain forest damaging wasteful use of paper overkill i.e. a tiny product in a box, in a bigger box, to flimsy polythene bags. Ironic that a hard case designed to protect an instrument should arrive with a hole in the side (see photo). So it's second time lucky and hence this review. Despite the transit mishap, which says more about the courier that Amazon uses these days than the sturdiness of the Gator case, it is well made with a padded plush lining and set of keys (also "Life Time" Guarantee). I bought the hard case so i could tale a small guitar with me on holiday, to add to my enjoyment and relaxation instead of miss playing my guitar(s)! Most questions concerning this 3/4 case seem to be about what it fits. I found it recommend on an American parlour guitar forum website and researched it's internal dimensions in comparison to my Tanglewood Parlour Guitar, which has typical 0 size instrument dimensions. But i would advise anyone considering this case for their parlour to measure: upper, mid and lower bout dimensions as well as overall length and instrument width. The curves of the case don't follow those of my parlour exactly (see photos), nevertheless the case fits the guitar and there is nothing "fouling" - the fluffy lining accommodates the pick up end jack socket. There's even a small compartment for picks, tuners, strings or case keys. Hope this review helps fellow parlour guitarist who want to protect their "baby" and may be take it on holiday with them!

If you value protection over portability, this is the case for you. Check dimensions carefully - I did, and it fits the 3/4 size Spanish guitar I bought it for very snugly. The lining is lovely, there's a handy compartment for tuners, spare strings, picks etc, and the case is sturdy enough to survive children. It is not, however, exactly light. I mean it's light for what it is, but it's not casually-sling-it-accross-your-back light, nor does it have a shoulder strap, nor is the handle particularly comfortable. But it will protect your instrument very well.

Pros: This case is sturdy, well made and will offer very good protection. Cons: It is relatively heavy so perhaps not the best choice for a 7 year old to lug to school. The clasp design is not as good as I have seen on other cases but it is not bad. It has a clasp on the hinge side which is at risk of breaking if forgotten It comes with a WARNING "This product contains materials known ... to cause cancer and birth defects" - see the attached photograph

I am lucky enough to own a little martin guitar and was looking for a hard case to protect my baby. This case is cheap, but of great qaulity, robust with good fittings and a nice furry inside to protect your guitar. there is also a small storage compartment for your capo, spare strings,tuner etc. My little martin fits well, not perfect but close enough and does not move around when closed. A bespoke case would cost a lot more than this and to be honest would not provide more protection. if you have a little martin, baby taylor etc and want a hard case, get this now.

Bought to protect a Fender ESC80 3/4 size classical guitar. Perfect and excellent value. Case is heavier than a gig bag because it is a solid construction obviously. It is no heavier than other hard shell cases. This will offer far more protection over the life of the instrument for about the same price as a sturdy gigbag. Tips: Always measure your guitar before purchasing a case. If your guitar is a looser fit pad it out with some bubble wrap, towelling or foam.

Bought for a vintage small Martin....it nearly fits! Body shape - length, width - is spot on, but it's made for a shallower instrument, as most parlour guitars are. I wanted it for a tenor guitar and the Martin is particularly deep. Nonetheless, decently solid at a very reasonable price and it does the job...just.

Past perfect

Llevaba tiempo buscando un estuche para una guitarra antigua (del 1901) y que poe sus medidas y características no encajaban en ninguna case. He visto las medidas de esta (la de 3/4) y se acercaba muchísimo a lo de la guitarra y decidí arriesgar. Encajó perfectamente, como un guante! Aparte de esto me parece una case de calidad, he tenido varias y de varias marcas y esta para el precio que tiene es de verdad excelente.

Custodia robusta ,arrivata in perfette condizioni calza come un guanto per la mia gretsch jim dandy parlor. Soddisfatto.

Very good quality, fit 1/2 size 31” guitar nicely, the lining is beautiful! Very happy with this purchase. FYI all that quality comes with a bit of weight But my 6 year old grandson can still manage it. He’s so thrilled with his new case.

I was having a hard time finding a good, affordable hard case for my son's Yamaha JR1 so I bought this one. I was concerned it would be way too big. It fits the guitar nice and snug, and now if/when I upgrade my son to a larger guitar, we already have a case for it. This is a really well made case. Just try not to pay attention to the fact that it has doubled in price in the past few years.
