Greate case for the price!

by william mahek from lamar, SC

Music Background: Hobbyist
Although this case is not as snug of a fit for my Ibanez aw80nt as I would have like I am still giving it 5 stars for the quality. I just received mine yesterday and went over it thoroughly and was v... read more [+]ery surprised at the quality for the price compared to many that I have seen for $50 more. I made up for the extra room by leaving my strap on (soft leather) and placing it in the side of the case and was enough to take the wiggle out. Seems to be very capable for the the giger with out having to worry about the precious cargo inside. close [-]
