Gator Cases GW-JM-LPS Guitar Case

Sometimes, when writing a review you have to pause to decide whether an aesthetic issue is actually all that important when compared against usefulness and whether an item is fit for purpose. In this case it's the interior which is a shocking pink that made me stop to think. There's also a silky cover attached to the case by straps which allow it to be folded over the top of your instrument. The strap which stops the lid falling back is as fluffy as the fluffiest cuddly toy. The only word to describe all this pinkness is KITSCH.But is that enough to deduct a star?Does the case do a good job?Is it strong and well built?Does it protect your guitar and can you store a good amount of accessories inside the interior compartment?My experience of using this case suggests that all four answers have to be 'Yes'.I don't think I'd recommend this case for heavy gigging but if you're doing that, you'll probably be looking for a much stronger case anyway. For general day-to-day use + storage + safely moving your guitar by carrying it in a car or van, it does a good job. As can be seen in the montage of photos that I've attached to this review, the accessory compartment can hold a good amount of items. If you transport several pedals (especially any needing power transformers) you will probably already have a pedalboard or maybe a different type of strengthened case such as the 'Armourdillo Lightweight Hard-Foam Case for Full-Size Electric Guitars'.So - interior aesthetics aside - the case gets a full 5 stars from me. I don't leave it open to admire the inside, so those aesthetic issues are irrelevant to how well the case does its job.

Bought this for my Fender Jaguar, after it came with a Gig Bag instead of a proper case.Its important to get the right size, and comparing this to similar cases for Strats and Teles it is larger due to the size of the offset body. The case fits my guitar well, if anything theres a little too much room around the edges, but not enough to worry about the guitar getting damaged.Theres a large storage area inside as well, large enough to store the tremolo arm and a few bits and pieces.Overall case feels pretty sturdy. This is a budget case, so dont expect top quality construction. But the job of a case is to protact the guitar and take a few knocks. For this purpose the case is great value.

I’ve only had the case a few days, but it is very beautiful and robust. It has a lovely suede outer and a very plush interior. Its very well made and you can tell. Its a fair weight, but I wouldn’t say it was too heavy. You won’t regret buying it. It fits my Ibanez rg370 perfectly, and would fit most strat or telly style guitars. I bought it on prime, the delivery could have been better took four days to arrive, and I had to email amazon about it, it should have been next day. It arrived in a monster of a carboard box very well protected, which I thought was a little ironic because I bought thos case because I wanted something that could take a bit of abuse. I will update this review once I’ve had the case for a few months. So far it has been incredible!

This is a truly lovely guitar case! Feels very robust and the suede type dark brown covering is superb giving a very luxurious look to the case I love the mink coloured soft fur effect lining too which sets off my pearloid finished vintage Telecaster type guitar perfectly! I note someone gave it one star as it arrived broken but I hope they will re-do their review once they have a replacement as this is a five star product! The catches etc seem very sturdy and it is all screwed not stapled together! A very fine case at a very reasonable price! It was very poorly packaged and arrived in a soft corrugated cardboard wrapper that was ripped in several places but thankfully the plastic protective bag had not been punctured so the case was perfect! A really lovely guitar case and just that little bit different! I am really pleased with it and do not hesitate to recommend it to other purchasers! I don't think it is too heavy and with my pretty heavy guitar inside it is not any heavier to carry than any other case I own!

This is just a gorgeous Mandolin case and I am very pleased with It! Internal protection is thick and nicely shaped for the curves and points of a vintage shaped F type instrument The blue velvet gives a very luxurious effect and the little pocket should hold a tuner, picks and whatever safely. The outer case is a lovely linen type fabric in a natural greyish finish with a classy brown trim The handle is nice and robust with a leather type grip and the catches seem strong and have an antiqued gold finish which looks great on this case It suits an F type Mandolin perfectly and sets off my antiqued pale yellowish wood Mandolin to perfection I will investigate perhaps finding a spray on protector for the light coloured cloth finish which might be sensible, particularly if you plan to take the case out and about a lot I am absolutely delighted with this Gator case and would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a really lovely and unusual case for their precious instrument!.

Lovely case nice finish etc BUT be warned this is NOT really big enough for a Jaguar/Jazzmaster shape contrary to what other reviewers state (AND despite dimensions giving adequate length - which it is btw - but the width is more like 38cm not 40cm+ as it states in product details) Anyway I have made it fit just about but requires some shoehorning which isn’t optimal... I would have returned & swapped for Jaguar specific case but I was only going to get partial refund on shipping so it was going to be expensive! Anyway I imagine for more standard Strat/Tele shape guitars it’s 100% fine.
