Gator Cases Lightweight Polyfoam Guitar Case for Electric Bass Guitars; (GL-BASS)

Update: I was about to return my Gator case, sadly because except for size it was exactly what I wanted. I thought maybe I could crush the foam at each end of the case enough to make it fit my guitar. Put the guitar in the case to see how much to squish and the guitar fell right into place. What happened? I put the headstock in first this time. The foam is hollowed out more at that end near the the bottom of the case (at least I think that's what's going on). If I put the bottom neck strap pin in first, in the space hollowed out for it, the headstock does not fit at the other end. Needs another inch or so before it will go in. If I put the headstock end in first, everything lines up better and I have a VERY snug fit. So I'm increasing my stars from 2 to 5 (I'm reviewing the case, NOT the packaging). No longer returning, happy again. Gator also responded to my comment, very important to see that they care. So, your mileage may vary, but this case works for me.Original review:Description says it holds a guitar up to 39.5" long, with body length up to 19". My guitar is that size (I measured before buying). Body length dimension is about 1/2" too short and overall length is an inch too short. My guitar doesn't fit even though it matches the the size listed. Guitar is a Schecter Omen 6 extreme. Very disappointed the description is so misleading (or they can't control their sizes, or someone decided to cut costs). Now I need to go through the hassle of returning it and picking out a different case. One reason I chose this case was because dimensions were given in the description. I won't trust Gator again (same dimensions are listed on other sites, so it's not an Amazon fault).Case seemed to be made well and was just what I wanted: lightweight and sturdy with some storage space inside for pedals, tuner, slides, picks, recorder, etc., and a pocket outside for music books and note sheets. Looks great also. If you have a smaller guitar this might be a perfect choice.Packaging was bad. It was shipped in a very large box and the tape was not holding the flaps shut by the time it arrived. Case could have easily fallen out of box and it was so loose that case was scuffed up from rubbing against the cardboard box. Why they bothered to put a single piece of crumpled paper in the box I'll never know; maybe there was more that fell out.

Excellent case. Offers great protection with the rigid sides. Lightweight compared to a hard shell case. Plenty of storage for straps, cables, and pedals. Don’t know that I would trust it for a plane ride but for around town it’s perfect.

I bought this case for my Ibanez SR605E and I love it! This case is as light as a gig bag but has the protection of a hard shell case! I can’t wait to buy more cases like this! The price was affordable! This is definitely an investmen and it looks aesthetically pleasing! This case protects my bass without breaking the bank!

Bought this for a PRS SE Custom Quilt and it fits so good it's almost like it was custom made for it. Nice and lightweight but still plenty stuff enough that I wouldn't worry about any damage to the guitar throwing it in and out of vehicles or whatever. Don't know if I'd quite trust it for air travel, but even then I think it would hold up fine. Love that there's extra separated areas inside where you can put pedals, cables, etc. I honestly can't recommend this enough. I paid more for a hard case that wasn't even close to as nice as this. And I honestly think the guitar is safer in this also.

OK, so I just moved on from this case and in some ways I miss it. I thought I should come back and put some review info in here.This is a fine case. I like it. I can't yet bring myself to let it go. The only problem I had with it was its size. It is physically very big due to the rectangular size. The location where the shoulder strap connects always bothered me too as I had to unhook one side every time I opened the case. I will add I replaced the shoulder strap immediately upon its arrival cause the one which came with it was cheap. Adequate I guess but minimal.OK, that is most of the negatives. I still liked it and and used it regularly. It protected my guitar well (PRS Semi Hollow just fit) and I really liked the inside dual storage boxes on each side of the neck. I used the outside pouches heavily also.I replaced it for one reason only, it is big. Note I didn't say too big cause you might love it.Now, I've moved to another case with backpack straps. I miss the shoulder strap a lot and will likely customize the new one to add one soon if I stick with it.The two things I miss most about it now are the inside storage which my new case does not have AND the weight. This thing is so light that you simply get used to it and don't realize how light it is. Everything else I carry now seems very heavy.I may go back. Only time will tell.For the price, I think this is an excellent case. Maybe I'll buy another guitar just so I can justify keeping it ;-)
