Original review:
Description says it holds a guitar up to 39.5" long, with body length up to 19". My guitar is that size (I measured before buying). Body length dimension is about 1/2" too short and overall length is an inch too short. My guitar doesn't fit even though it matches the the size listed. Guitar is a Schecter Omen 6 extreme. Very disappointed the description is so misleading (or they can't control their sizes, or someone decided to cut costs). Now I need to go through the hassle of returning it and picking out a different case. One reason I chose this case was because dimensions were given in the description. I won't trust Gator again (same dimensions are listed on other sites, so it's not an Amazon fault).
Case seemed to be made well and was just what I wanted: lightweight and sturdy with some storage space inside for pedals, tuner, slides, picks, recorder, etc., and a pocket outside for music books and note sheets. Looks great also. If you have a smaller guitar this might be a perfect choice.
Packaging was bad. It was shipped in a very large box and the tape was not holding the flaps shut by the time it arrived. Case could have easily fallen out of box and it was so loose that case was scuffed up from rubbing against the cardboard box. Why they bothered to put a single piece of crumpled paper in the box I'll never know; maybe there was more that fell out.
Only two minor issues are that the mesh front pocket is worthless. I caught it on something when sliding it into the van, and it tore. No reason to have the mesh front pocket. Second, the velcro on the handstrap doesn't work very well. It's like they needed to make the flap a little longer, but even if it doesn't hold, it doesn't affect how I carry the bass.
I've never used the shoulder strap, there were a couple of times I wished for backpack straps.
Using a stencil, I painted my logo on the case with acrylic paints, and the material takes to the acrylics very well. Overall, I like this case a lot, and it tends to get used a lot because it's so light and it protects the bass.
----BEGIN ORIGINAL REVIEW----
I love this new wave of soft/hard cases. This is for a bass I built that has a larger than normal head on it, and there's plenty of room for the oversized head in this case.
Comes with a shoulder strap but not backpack straps. Well put together and should last a good amount of time.

Seems pretty good that it can fit a wide range of instruments. Which brings me to the most important point of this review (which, even if it helps one person, will be worth it): make sure you take the body length measurements of your guitar WITH the strap buttons as well, and compare them with the case’s interior dimensions. Like, actually do it and don’t just guess. Get off your butt and measure. I truthfully have NO IDEA what the other donut holes on this website are talking about when they write reviews that sound like “wahhh it doesn’t fit, the case sucks, why do bad things happen to good people, Gator sucks because I have a peanut allergy” or whatever garbage they’re spewing in these reviews - because I double checked the interior measurements once I received it, and they were EXACTLY as advertised (per Gator’s website AND Amazon). But hey, call me crazy! That’s just the kind of research I do when I make a purchase, because apparently there are other people who can’t be bothered to spend an extra 2 minutes out of their day to measure their instrument to see if the case will fit BEFORE they buy it.
Use some common sense here: If the instrument you’re putting into this case costs more than this case, then for all that is good and holy in this world, put down the bag of Cheetos for one moment, wash the cheese dust off your hands, grab a tape measure and measure your instrument. Be an adult. And if you don’t own a tape measure, well buddy, you’re on Amazon already - simple problems have simple solutions.
In summation: this is a great case, it is good quality, and it is well worth the money. Measure your instrument first, then compare it with the interior dimensions. I am satisfied with it, and will purchase a couple more in the future. I’m Batman.

Le sac est parfait pour se déplacer. La guitare est parfaitement placée dedans. j'ai une Gibson SG Cherry Wood. Elle est très confortablement installée dans cet étuis.
L'étui Gigson d'origine était vraiment trop serré au niveau des mécaniques et ça désaccordait à coup certain la guitare. Ici, les mécaniques ne touchent rien, l'espace prévu est juste parfaitement adapté. donc elle reste bien accordée quand je la range.
Je suis très satisfait de cet achat! Merci.
