Gator Cases Traditonal Series Hard-Shell Wood Case for 6 or 12-String Dreadnought Style Acoustic Guitars, (GWE-DREAD 12)

D’Angelico Premier Fulton LS Acoustic-Electric 12 string guitar. Very well built quality case, plush lining, heavy duty fasteners. Holder for extra strings, capo, etc. Fits like a glove- like it was custom built! Great price. Very pleased.

I can't say enough good about this case. I bought this for my 50 year old Yamaha 12-string. The fit is not quite like a skintight glove - there might be 1/2 inch on either side of the upper bout, but I'm delighted - I had the guitar in its original hard case all these years, and this fits better and has much better padding than that original hard case. For comparison: My children gave me a Fender 6-string (without a case) for my birthday, and I bought another case, for $1 less, for the Fender. THERE IS NO COMPARISON in the quality of the cases. I was really picky about the measurements, and I bought a Fender case for this Fender 6-string, and the fit was really good (the 6-string in this GATOR case has extra headroom. So for fit, I made the right choice for each guitar. But, if you want strength in build and latches, the GATOR case is the case to buy. I didn't want identical cases (I wanted to be able to tell the guitars apart by just looking at the case, and I was very focused about fit) but I'm sorry I didn't just buy two of these and add a decal or two to the one holding the 6-string, as a way to distinguish between guitars. This is a FANTASTIC case, ESPECIALLY since circumstances were such that these two cases arrived a week apart, so comparison was inevitable! BTW: I bought the other for two reasons, fit and because I liked that there was a latch at the lowest end of the neck, near the handle. I didn't realize there would NOT be the standard two latches along the lower bout part of the case. So while both cases use 4 latches, on this GATOR case, there are two latches along the side, and two along the bottom (the lower bout), and that arrangement seems more secure. The latch near the handle appealed to me as a point of strength, but the GATOR case offers greater strength in every aspect of its construction. I LOVE this case.

great case, very well made

This case is solid. Fits both my Dreadnought and 12 string. Body is sturdy and the buckles are sturdy. If there is a weak point , it has to be the rivets for the handle. On second gig it snapped. No abuse involved. I contacted the company, and they were great about it. They sent me a new one in 8 days without having to ship the old one back, which is a big deal living in Hawaii. I thanked them and asked if they could check out the handle rivets.

I received this about six weeks ago and it's been fine. It's sturdy and attractively built. It's a bit heavy, but it's made of wood and you can expect that. When the case arrived, I understood immediately why some reviewers complained about damage to their cases. It was packed in a large rectangular box with no cushioning in it whatsoever. During shipping, the case would just have bounced around the shipping box. I was lucky there was no damage. The case was a little difficult to open it the first time because one of the latches was stuck. A quick twist with a screwdriver took care of the problem and it's worked perfectly since. The inside of the case is very nice. It's well padded and fits my 12-string guitar perfectly. Some reviewers have complained that their case didn't match the advertised measurements, but I found my case to be correctly sized. The storage compartment is large and can hold what I need it to hold. Overall, I'm happy with the case and found it to be a good value for the money.

Great case, I have bought several of these over the years for different guitars and they hold up. They are durable with solid latches and great interior padding. I highly recommend Gator cases.

I was waiting so long for this to arrive and when I got it, case was put in a box without any protection and one of latches is broken!! It was expensive! Ugh!!!!

I just ordered the Billy Strings D-28 dreadnaught. This is the 9th Gator Case I have purchased, and I wouldn't trust any of my guitars with anything other than Gator cases, and the price is fantastic for what you get! Everyone I've ordered has fit like a glove, acoustic and electric, 6 and 12 string.

Excelente producto , llego en buenas condiciones el material de muy buena calidad ! A mi hijo le encantó ! Gracias

Il prodotto perfetto e il venditore ottimo mi ha aiutato tantissimo per il trasporto gentilissimi e molto efficienti ... ricomprerei ancora da loro !!

Embora seja um pouco pesado (aproximadamente 4 kgs), não diminui a informação importante: protege seu instrumento da forma correta e acompanha cadeado com chave por segurança extra. Downside: qualquer chave que for do mesmo case vai abrir esse cadeado (tenho 2 parecidos).

Der Koffer scheint wie für meine Ashton 12-String gemacht. Sehr sauberer Sitz. Sehr stabil. Vier Klappverschlüsse. Der Koffer ist relativ flach. Innenhöhe: 11,5 cm (Case) + 3 cm (Deckel). ("relativ" bedeutet dabei: Ein anderer Koffer, den ich für eine andere 12-String nutze, hat 13 cm + 2,5 cm.) Dabei ist auch zu beachten, dass im Bereich des Gitarrenbodys eine Handbreit vor dem Hals noch eine zusätzliche ca. 1 cm starke Polsterung die Höhe nochmals verringer; für meine Ashton ideal, da der Gitarrenbody zum Hals hin etwas an Höhe verliert, aber für meine andere 12-String, die eine durchgehend gleichbleibende, auch insgesamt größere Höhe hat, nicht so ganz ideal. Durch die schmale Halsform des Koffers fällt das Innenfach in dem Bereich ebenfalls schmal aus, so dass ein Saitensatz in den marktüblichen Verpackungen nicht flach hineingelegt werden kann, sondern nur schräg/verkantet. Man verschenkt also Platz. (Bei meinem anderen Koffer, der nicht die optisch schöne, aber unpraktische Halsverjüngung zwischen Kopf und Body hat, ist das nicht so; da liegen alle Saitensätze flach.) Die Verklebung des Außenmaterials ist an den Kanten nicht so ganz 100%-ig. Innenlänge gemessen: 111 cm. Innenbreite 42 / 32 cm. Wie gesagt: Für mich bzw. meine Ashton ist der Koffer von der Passform ideal. Wegen des schmalen Innenfachs (schmale Halsform) und der Verklebung würde ich einen halben Stern abziehen, wenn das ginge. So aber bleibt es bei wohlwollenden 5 Sternen.

Cannot fault this product, it is heavy and strongly built and it feels like my guitar is being well protected. It is large enough to cater for most Dreadnoughts as well as the body of the guitar has plenty room without sliding around inside. It has a small compartment for holding little things like your guitar tuner or spare strings under the neck which is handy and has enough room for my music material to fit underneath the body of the guitar when the case is closed. I mainly travel with it in my car so it maybe a bit heavy for even small journeys unless you have your own transport. I also like the fact that it has metal studs on the bottom so that it can sit upright on its own which makes it easier to store in any type of room without having to lie it down or lean it against something heavy. Looks good as well in case anyone is interested.
