Gator is a very reputable brand and I have owned their cases in the past. My only issues are that it's gone up quite a bit in price and as such it's not as much of a value as it once was. The case is lighter weight than other hard cases I've owned; while it seems less durable and robust that a Martin, Taylor or TKL case, some people might like to save on weight and give up a little strength. My other issue with the case is the latches feel kind of cheap and lightweight and I wonder about longer term opening and closing. I'm glad I'm only using this case to store my guitar in the closet. Overall, I recommend this case and it is a quality product as long as you use it for its intended purpose (i.e., not a flight case).

Overall, I recommend this case and it is a quality product as long as you use it for its intended purpose (i.e., not a flight case).
It's one thing to purchase a great case for a great price, but when customer support goes above and beyond like this (very quick responding too), I have to say that Gator has really exceeded my expectations!
Furthermore, I just realized that this case has a LIFETIME warranty to the original purchaser! What a GREAT thing to see a company stand like this behind the products. This is my 3rd Gator case that I have purchased over the years, and I think Gator will now always be my first choice!
The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that there are 5 latches that need to be opened or closed when taking the guitar in and out instead of 3, as on most cases. Maybe all those latches make it stronger or more secure, I don't know. I only know that if you take the guitar in and out of its case a lot, those extra latches get a little annoying. Certainly not a show-stopper, but annoying just the same. At least for me. I do, however, like the fact that the latch near the handle has a lock built into it.
Overall, this seems to be a quality case at a good price and I would have no problem recommending it to anyone less easily annoyed than I.
I'm most pleased with my purchase.
Fits guitar well

No se equivoquen como yo, que las medidas de la case parecen que eran exactas para mi guitarra, tengan en cuenta que son medidas externas, por lo que tienen que considerar el recubierto interior de 1-2cm extra de terciopelo.
NO CABE UNA
Fender cd-60sce
PRODUCTO:
Gati GWE-CLASSIC Estuche de Madera Ultra-Resistente para Guitarra Clásica
PROS:
Cubierta rigida, resistente, cubierta en imitacion de piel.
Soportes inferiores para colocar el case en el piso sin que la cubierta toque el piso y evite rayones.
Interior imitacion de terciopelo.
Compartimiento interno donde puedes guardar accesorios de guitarra (capo, cuerdas, afinador, slide)
3 Seguros de acero cromados, se ven simples pero duraderos
El seguro de enmedio tiene cerradura (llaves estan en el compartimiento dentro del case)
CONS
Los seguros se ven basicos, se ve que podrian romperse a la larga o fallar.
La envian en una bolsa (dentro de caja amazon) asi que espera daños cosmeticos.
*********Comentarios finales****************
Yo la tuve que devolver en cuanto la recibi porque mi guitarra era un poco mas grande que el case, desafortunadamente no pude medir el case, pero les paso las medidas de mi guitarra
Fender cd-60sce
41" x 15.5" x 5.5"
equivalen a cm
104 x 40 x 14
las especificaciones del producto son:
107.32 x 40.64 x 13.97 cm
y como indique arriba el problema es que las medidas son exteriores, yo asumi que la guitarra entraria como mano a guante, pero tienen que considerar que el interior del case es mas pequeño, inicie la devolucion, en cuanto tenga el dinero comprare el modelo que sigue
