My brother and I make bass guitars and so we find ourselves buying a lot of cases. For the first 5-years into our endeavor we knew what kind of bass we were building for our customers. Our niche was the blue collar musician. The guys and gals that play weekend after weekend in almost any venue imaginable. As a matter of consequence, given our clientele, it's safe to assume that we don't get any requests asking for us to ship our instruments in a gig bag.Yet still buying cases was a guessing game. We really didn't know which case would come out on top because it was a longevity of life question that had yet to be answered. We needed to buy one that was durable and also a real value. After five years with several brands, we decided to go with Gator. There are two models we buy, and we leave the choice up to our customer.We like the plastic molded GPE-BASS-TSA ATA models and for those that like the wooden cases, we get the Delux wooden GW-BASS cases.Both are obviously hard shell case and very durable. We like them both. But from here on out I'll leave this review to the case that is referenced above which is the deluxe wooden tolex case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GFQKQ/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_titleWe really like everything about them. They have a nice traditional look with the while piping. Since getting them our customers say the hardware doesn't pill or rust and the tolex stays in good shape.The case is heavy, balanced, and sturdy.What we really like is the material they use in the interior. There are some horror stories one in which I witnessed first hand with velour material. That's the kind of fiber that was used for the many of the earlier fender cases and surprisingly is still used today. With the right humidity conditions and if the bass sits in the case too long, the fibers will fuse themselves into the basses finish. It's a chemical reaction and it really stinks. These is nothing more sad than seeing a 1981 vintage Jazz bass ruined with orange fuzz sticking to it like two day old beard.Not so with the Gators. They use a different micro fiber all together for the cases we get. It's very soft, and fine. It might not look as dazzling as the shiny orange velours. But it's safe and that's what matters most.Dollar for dollar around $100 or so, this is a great case. It fits jazz styled and P-bass styled bodies, even five string Jazz style basses. The necks stay put in these, which helps keep the bass stable in the case while it's being jostled around. The Gator is quite popular with our bass guitar customers. So we'll continue to buy these and you won't be disappointed to own one as well.

Sturdy. Nice and snug for my custom PJ! Always protect your piece of art with a hard shell! Padded nicely. Storage is ample for some accessories! Well done again GATORCASE!This is a full scale American Jazz build and fits great! Special shout out to Gibraltar and Slack's custom shop in PA for the one of a kind bass!

Bought is awesome hard case for my Yamaha five string base a lot more roomy than I thought was afraid there wouldn’t be enough length for my instrument, but there was actually a little more nice padding and I love the Trim and very nicely padded handle. Yes it is a little heavy, but it is worth it. I am visually impaired and rely on things like Lyft and the city bus to get around much nicer than any gig bag. Also, this was return really appreciate the savings still haven’t figured out why it was returned, but like I said, I’m very thankful for the savings I got with it being returned

The build quality is great-- the tolex is nice as is the plush interior. However, my 72 Les Paul Goldtop does not fit. The neck is not supported at all. The main reason is that there is a lot of padding for the body of the guitar--so much that it jacks up the neck. What I ended up doing to make it fit wasn't too drastic. Rather than roll up towels, etc. I simply undid the screws on the outside of the case that support the two sides of the interior compartment and function as neck supports. I raised them up until they made contact with the neck of my guitar then reset the screws. The only other issue is that I jacked them up so much that the bottom screw does not go into the block. But it does add support being just underneath it. I will probably buy some matching screws and reinforce further. This also leaves a gap in the compartment which means thinner items will probably shift in the case, but I would rather deal with this than have the neck snap from not being supported. You can see the retrofit I did in the photo. So, not perfect in my case--pun intended--but it'll work. Now my Goldtop fits very snug for maximum protection.

This is a perfect fit for my SG. It fits nicely and doesn’t move around when in the case. I would recommend this to a friend for sure.

When I grabbed a used Gibson brown LP case with the logo on the front for $120 recently, I grew disappointed at the red interior lining and lack of the silk overlay for the guitar. These might be fine points that are not particularly functional, but I wanted to get as close to the classic case as I could without shelling out hundreds more for their vintage/heritage or such version. So after selling the Gibson one for $150, I grabbed this one brand new from Gator for about the same (it was a return or somesuch) and I could not be happier. The construction, lining, exterior material, locks, and fit are all equal to or better than the brand case. And of course the classic brown and pink with silk overlay really take it over the top. Plus no one is going to ask me upon walking in the room "is there an actual Gibson in there?" because of the logo. The old ones didn't sport a logo, anyway, and now the attention and focus can remain on my beautiful example of the Japanese lawsuit era Les Paul replicas - my 1981 Greco Super Real EGF-1000. Together with this case, the experience for me is as good or better than one might expect out of the tenfold more expensive genuine article of a similar vintage.

Muy contento con el estuche, y la relación calidad-precio despues de comparar con otros estuches en tienda. La marca Gator hace honor a su prestigio, y se ve un estuche muy solvente y rÃgido para proteger la guitarra, a la par con un toque 'vintage' para no andar con el tipico color negro. A mi Les Paul le sienta como un guante, mejor dicho como un sofa por lo acolchadito que está. Un detalle muy importante para mi y a la vez inesperado es la inclinación que tiene la base en la zona del cuerpo principal para absorver todo el peso y liberar al mastil de apoyos y esfuerzos innecesarios.Por poner un pero, el color fucsia es un poco... bueno mi novia está enamorada con el estuche me lo queria robar para sus cosas jajajaRespecto al envio por Seur, un desastre para variar, nada nuevo. Ni pasaron, ni llamaron al telefono (no se para que lo piden) ni dejaron aviso en puerta o buzon, vamos que hasta que no me llegó un mail de amazon diciendo que habia llegado no me enteré, y me toco ir a recogerlo a la agencia al poligono, nada nuevo, ya me ha pasado otras veces. Solo espero que cambien algún dÃa y por lo menos dejen nota de que han pasado.

Für die Paula etwas zu groß (würde, denke ich aber auch gehen) dafür saugt sich die Wildkat richtig rein. Hebel nach hinten und sitzt ohne zu wackeln den Deckel etwas drücken nicht zu arg und der Schnapper sitzt!! Perfekt!!Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich natürlich noch nichts sagen ganz neu bekommen!
