Perfect for my project!

I bought a Chinese ES335 guitar kit, added a Bigsby, Wilkinson Roller Bridge and Gotoh locking tuners then wondered if I could find a case to Cary it in??? Behold! The case..

Great case great price

Outstanding fit for my new Epiphone ES 335 and great looking case as well. Padding everywhere and it seems very durable. Cody Kraus has never steered me wrong, he and people like him are what makes Sweetwater's customer service so top notch!

New home for an old guitar

About 45 years ago I bought a case for my Dad's guitar, a Harmony Meteor - a hollow body two pickup guitar, he had bought used in the early 1960's. This was one on the old black cardboard type cases. The old case was past wearing out so I tried this one hoping it would fit. A near perfect fit. Only way to get a better fit would have been to buy one made for the guitar, which I doubt I could find for a product that hasn't been made in maybe 50+ years.

Construction seems excellent and it really looks sharp. Don't know if it will last as long as its former home but I suspect it will still be in great shape long after I'm gone.
Music background: Been making noise on a guitar since I was so small my fingers wouldn't reach the low E or A strings, now approaching 70. Just play to have fun.

Gator case

I love this case..I call it the coffin,for my ESP LTD 12 thinline in black,which did noty cvome with a case,Because the head stock is so tall,it needed a taller case,which took a little researching,,Michael at Sweetwater came through,having one ion stock, and getting it right out,,A good solid quality case,that did not break the bank,when it comes to these

Cool Looking Case!

One thing I have learned is that a cool looking case can be a good part of my decor. Certain cases look tired and dull. I have recently added a couple 335 sized guitars and now have three and only one has a budget gigbag. I need to have at least one more case so I can rotate which one is out. This gator case is pretty nice looking with real burlap-type fabric on the outside and leather looking edges. It fits my three guitars even though they have slightly different shapes to the horns (Guild Starfire, Epiphone Casino, and a White Stripes style Crestwood).

I'd give it five stars if it seemed a bit more road worthy. This is perfect for moving and storing in my house. This case is surprisingly light—that may or may not equate to toughness… Definitely has a vintage vibe to it.

But, coolest feature is that it can look cool in the corner of a living area—as opposed to some ugly black gigbag or a boring black hardshell case.

Cheers!
