Gator GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case

Great case for my Epiphone Casino. Perfect fit and comfortable handle. Seems quite strong for day to day use, however I'm not sure it would survive a very heavy object landing on it. The latches and lock are satisfactory. The inner lining is a very bright pink, and gets a lot of compliments! The compartment is big enough for several sets of strings and other accessories, and I keep my cables coiled in the upper section under the headstock. One con is that I have to remove my strap every time as the Schaller strap locks stick out a lot, however this speaks to the snug fit of the case, and I just roll the strap up and fit it in the hollow next to the neck joint. The case has extra foam padding above the bridge, and some foam that follows the contour of the headstock which is appreciated. As such, the guitar does not move around much inside. Somewhat unwieldy for walking around, however this is a large guitar. After over a year of consistent use, the tolex covering has some scuffs, but nothing major. I'm not sure if the tolex would withstand a tour however. Good value for money overall, and looks great to boot! :)

A very good quality case for the money, I tried an epiphone sheraton, Casino and and Riviera, all fitted snugly. It also looks better than the factory epiphone case in my opinion. I prefer the pink lining to the grey/black that comes with the Gibson 335 and epi cases, just think it has a classier look,...I'm not too fussed about the liner either way though. Incidentally, I tried a Rickenbacker 330, which also fitted... surprisingly!, although that guitar would benefit from a little padding at the back heel area to avoid stress on the neck/body area.

It is a great case and does a great job of keeping my Epiphone Dot safe when I have to travel with it. Only mark it down on quality as small stapels used to keep the padding on the frame fall out from time to time and there is a scratch protector which goes over the guitar which is not removable unless you rip it out. This could have easily been clip-on and the one I have was stained with glue. In Summary: not junk, but not super fancy either.
