Good value

By Ralph Trueblood from Berkeley, CA on April 25, 2024

Very nice case with a pad that puts pressure on the bridge. I never thought much of that feature in a guitar case until my Gibson Hummingbird's soundboard (The Gibson case that the guitar came with had no such pad)bellied up, almost making the guitar unplayable. Keeping the guitar in the case with a towel folded up on top of the bridge for seven years along with grinding quite a bit off the bottom of the saddle solved (sort of) the problem. Moral: never keep a flat top guitar in a case without a pad in the lid.

Nice Case

By BSmith from Southwest USA on April 15, 2024 Music Background: Guitar Student

Comparable with new Taylor, Martin, and Breedlove cases I have bought in the past 5 years. It only cost $ in Spring 2024. The others cost $. Sweetwater and Mike Winebrenner are always good to deal with.

Yamaha Guitar Case

By Sweetwater Customer on March 4, 2024

The case was a great birthday gift for my son who bought his guitar without a case.

Great case

By DAvid from St. Louis, Missouri on February 6, 2024 Music Background: retired, 20+ years as a music business professional

I've bought cheaper cases in the past that sometimes fell apart; the latches fall off or whatever. When I needed a case for an old favorite guitar, I checked with Kevin Samuel, who made sure I got the right case for this guitar.

The standard for how cases should be made

By Danno from South Portland, ME on October 17, 2023 Music Background: Knows enough open chords to be dangerous

I am beyond impressed with this case. 4 Latches that are all a snug fit. The material used on the outisde is much heartier than standard hardshell cases. This case will last me a lifetime and then some. Only gripe is no Yamaha logo on the outside. I like to know what guitar I am grabbing which is why I buy branded cases. I can always fix that with spraypaint and a stencil later.

Nice

By Jerry walton from SPOKANE VALLEY, WA on May 16, 2023

Well built case.

Nice case

By Mike from Illinois on April 21, 2023 Music Background: For fun

I was looking for a well built travel case for my Yamaha
FG830. The guitar fits like a glove, the case is very durable and latches well. Since there is no visible brand name I would say it would be suitable for most dreadnought style guitars. Very happy with this case. I would not hesitate to buy again.

Perfect Fit

By Sweetwater Customer on March 29, 2023

Bought it for my Taylor 150e. Sweetwater made it easy with the certified fit. Nice durable build and fits perfectly.

A Great Case

By Rich from California on December 23, 2022 Music Background: Singer/songwriter

This is a sturdy case. However, I don't plan on traveling with is. I primarily use it to keep my guitar in a case that can be humidified. I learned years ago that the best way to regular a guitar's humidity is to keep it in a good case. I also put one of the popular humidity devices into the case that can be bought here on Sweetwater. They work great.

Nice case

By Chuck from NY on December 16, 2022

Excellent Case!

Perfect Fit

By David from Arkansas on July 8, 2022

This is a perfect, snug fit for my Yamaha FG820-12 twelve string. Ordered a demo model…it was perfect. Sweetwater shipped it the same day. Always great service from these folks.

Road Tested

By Geoff on July 5, 2022

Great looking case that I initially thought too big for domestic carry-on. Not true! I bought the case to protect a Keith Urban guitar with sentimantal value on its journey back home when I relocated to Australia. I had a soft shell but wanted to make sure that it was protected if I had to check it in. Once I resigned myself to the fact that the case was actually the protection and I didn't neet to box it up, checkin was a breeze, and I was offered to take it to the cabin door on American Airlines if I wanted to. Given I had made the big decisions already, I checked it through to Australia and its contents arrived in perfect shape. A good robust unit. Can't say enough good things about the personal service, reliability and overall good feeling of dealing with Sweetwater - old fashioned human contact with real follow up and everything happens as they say it will! Great product and great experience with Sweetwater - no I am not on commission :)

My Yamaha Trans-Acoustic fits like a glove

By Chris Butts from MABANK, TX on April 29, 2022

Bought this hard shell case for my new Yamaha Trans-Acoustic and it is perfect! Case comes with 4 nice latches and is lockable. The interior padding is very thick and the pocket holds all my essential stuff - extra set of strings, capo, tuner, extra batteries, strap and extra picks. The only thing I wish this case had was some sort of Yamaha branding on the outside. I really like the Yamaha logo and wish they had included it. But, other than that, it's a great case at a great price!

Like a glove

By Patrick from Upstate Ny on April 4, 2022 Music Background: Self taught

When you say guarantee fit. You are not lying. It fits my new 12 string like a glove. Very happy with purchase.

Yamaha AG1-HC Guitar Case

By Jett from Tallahassee, FL on March 5, 2022 Music Background: House-broken, but not trained

My Yamaha F325 lived in a gig bag for years. Even though it's an inexpensive model, it means a lot to me as it was my first acoustic guitar. I decided to go ahead and protect it with a proper case. After sending precise measurements of the instrument to my Sales Engineer, Mitch Dazey, to confirm fitment, I ordered the AG1-HC. It fits my guitar perfectly, offering much greater protection than the gig bag I carried it around in for so many years. The case is sturdy. The hardware appears to be quite serviceable. It even smells nice; for whatever that's worth. I try not to abuse my gear, so I look forward to many years of service from the AG1-HC.

Yamaha Acoustic Case

By Sweetwater Customer on January 30, 2022

My first case and the way this is put together I doubt I will ever need another! It fits my fg800 like a glove. Had a nice compartment for storing small items like picks, tuner etc. Nice soft, padded interior. Sturdy hinges and latches look like they should last a lifetime.

Good case

By Sweetwater Customer on January 24, 2022

Good case. Guitar fits snugly as it should. Seems solid all around.

Amazing

By Orlando Irizarry from OH on January 14, 2022

I'm very grateful for all good services and regarding the shipping items, I have to say that was excellent,all items packaged very well...
About my Guitar FGX830C, I'm very happy, I'm a beginner and getting along with it, and the guitar case, I have to say also that is wonderful,cause I wouldn't think that my nice guitar would get scratches and will be save as well.. Thanks to everyone of Sweetwater crew, excellent job...

Great quality case for a really great deal

By Lily Cannell from Chico, CA on January 6, 2022

This case exceeded my expectations. It is great quality and was a very good deal. The customer service was excellent. I will be using this site again in the future.

Thank you so much.

Beautiful Case.

By Sweetwater Customer on December 6, 2021

This is a perfect fit for my Yamaha FG-800. I had a Taylor 810 years ago, the case was as beautiful as the guitar and I would rank this right up there. Doesn't have the purple crushed velvet like the Taylor, but it does have a nice soft fuzzy black interior.
Very study protection for your Yamaha guitar, comes with locking latches too, a real bargain at this price.
Highly recommend it!

Great case for the price

By Sweetwater Customer on October 6, 2021

Bought it to house my Yamaha FG800. Case is sturdy, appears well made and fit my guitar perfectly. It went in so snuggly

Buy from Sweetwater!

By Jim Nivens from Fort Worth TX on September 11, 2021

Sweetwater has excellent customer service, good prices, and fast, free shipping. I almost bought the wrong guitar case (wouldn't have fit), but did not because of the experts at Sweetwater.

Everything I've received from them has been extremely well packed and the bags of candy are nice, too!

The right fit

By Sweetwater Customer on September 11, 2021

I bought this case for my Godin 5th Avenue. It fits fine and IMO it protects my guitar much better than the Godin case which presently can't be had.

Yamaha guitar case

By Robert K. Wheeler from MI on July 28, 2021 Music Background: Amateur musician. Been playing guitar for 60 years. Own 5 guitars. Just enjoy it.

Fits the guitar perfectly, and barely more than the cheap cases. I would highly recommend this case. I bought a sweet Yamaha FG461S guitar in excellent condition, and this makes a great addition.

Initial Impressions: A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!!

By David Labens from San Antonio, TX on June 24, 2021 Music Background: Still a novice after 45 years playing guitar

I purchased this case for my Yamaha FG365Sii, a guitar I bought new more than 40 years ago. It replaced an Epiphone but I kept that case all these years. I was really hoping to find an injection or rotary molded case, something indestructible like the gray CF Martin & Company cases. However, all things considered, this case is a huge improvement over even my original case when it was new.

To begin with, the case fits the overall guitar shape perfectly around the edges. It is snug but not tight. However, the full weight of the instrument rests on the neck and the the butt end, so I will lay in a plush to raise the body just perfectly. It fits the FG into the case, but it's not custom for any one of the FG guitars (other reviews show tighter fits).

As for the quality, I have to admit that I am impressed. The fit of the lid is, again, snug but not tight, until you latch it down. I saw one review where the guitar fell into the ocean (IIRC), and when he got the case out of the water and opened it up, there was no water in the case at all except for what dripped off the open lid. Another said he had trouble getting the lid to line up and close properly. I cannot vouch for water resistency (thankfully), yet, but I can tell you that the lid sits down perfectly on the body. You may have to put a hand on the lid to get the retainer loop over the latch, but that just tells me it's tight.

The padding is 2x as thick as my old one was when it was new (there's virtually no padding left after 40 years). I am confident that I could drop it off a vehicle and the guitar wouldn't know it had landed hard (but I'm not trying it).

The gear box inside the neck of the case is quite voluminous, providing room for not only the handful of items I kept in the other cases box (sidewinder, capo, polish), but also for the small Plano brand tackle box in which I keep my picks - that's cool because it no longer has to ride in the rest of the neck area. And, the neck area still has room for the (unused) shoe polish mit in which I store my extra sets of strings.

The edging trim appears to be heavy duty, well sewn in to the edge of the lid, I don't think that edging is going to fail, and that protects the rest of the lid and case opening edges.

The first two things that failed on my old case were the strap that keeps the lid from falling over backwards and the tab on the gear box tab that allows you to open the box without having to wedge something under the lid. Both of these items appear to be quite hefty on this case - the rivet tab holding the gear box pull looks pretty heavy duty. The flat nylon rope lid retainer strap doesn't show how it's connected, but the old one broke, and this one is the same heavy duty nylon flat rope that I used to repair my old one 40 years ago - & it's held up perfectly. I expect no less from this one.

The hinges and latches are all in good working order, even the locking latch works without problem. Fit and finish appears to be on par with Yamaha quality on a budget (my FG365Sii is Yamaha's version of the Martin D35, and mine sounded better than those when it was brand new, even better 40 years later. I am very happy with this case and would immediately buy another if I were to require replacing this one.

There are only two things that I rate as EXTREMELY minor, but that I would consider improvements.

First, in looking for a case, I really wanted one without a black interior. It's hard to look at this black interior and see the depth. It's even harder to take any pictures because it simply absorbs all the light, none reflected back to distinguish sides from bottom. Blue or green would have been fantastic. My old one had gold and it was pretty cool, if not loud. Obviously not a deal breaker, but if there were a choice, I'd have chosen anything else (even white, heaven forbid!). Note: I didn't post pictures simply because they were all indistinguishable.

Second, it came with a single key. I'm sure they ALL come with just one key. However, I would gladly pay for an extra key, just because I'd hate to have to break open the lock to play.

Again, I am very, VERY impressed with the quality of this case. It's sturdy (tho I'm not sure I'd sit on it like I used to do the old one - I was 25# lighter then), lightweight, seems secure enough, operates flawlessly, and does its job without complaint or revolt.

But, let me tell you about the VERY BEST part of ordering this case ... THE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I placed my order, gave my cell # for shipping updates, and didn't think anything of it - expecting my order to ship the next day. But, the next day, I got phone calls from an unknown number, which I never answer. But, then I got a text from Alex who told me the case was out of stock and that I could expect to get mine next month. I whined - gently, but expressed my need. He said he'd ship the first one in straight to me. Fast forward through several more texts, and the case arrived today, 6/24, not next month in July!!! He really pulled a good follow-through with keeping me informed of where we were in the process of getting the case to me. I come from a family owned appliance business, so I understand how customer service works. I'm not sure I'd trust someone else to pick out an instrument for me, but as far as assisting with the order and following through to the end, these folks have got it going on! So, yes, I'd order the case again, but I will also order from Sweetwater again!!! Thank you, Alex, for really putting the serve into customer service.

Couldn't Be More Pleased!

By Greg from Colorado Springs on May 12, 2021

I wondered, since I was buying the lowest price case shown on the page, whether it would be strong enough and built with good quality. Well, no worries! My new Yamaha A1M fits beautifully inside this Yamaha AG1-HC Hardshell Case and the case definitely is made very well. I'm happy with it!

Protect your gear with peace of mind

By Merrell from Austin, TX on April 21, 2021 Music Background: New

They were not kidding about it being a snug fit. After a few weeks it loosens up just a little, but is still very snug. In the beginning you wonder if the Yamaha FG800 will even fit. And it does very nicely. It is nice not having to worry about anything happening to your equipment while it is tucked away in this case. The accessories pocket inside gives you plenty of room to store spare strings, picks, and a few other items. If you are looking for a solid protective purchase you can't go wrong with this.

Solid, affordable case

By Sweetwater Customer on April 13, 2021

Mostly used to keep my guitar safe from my kids and during light travel. Does the trick and no complaints.

Quality built case

By Denny Griffith from AZ on April 5, 2021 Music Background: Intermediate

I purchased this case for my Yamaha fg700. When I received it I was so impressed with the quality and workmanship that I ordered another one for my Martin D 10E and it fits perfectly. I would recommend this hard shell case for anyone looking for a very good case for an affordable price.

Just ordered a demo for 71.00. Can't find a mark on it. I've been using a soft case but I'm playing out more now so this will work great. A very sturdy, well built case.

Yamaha AG1-HC Guitar Case

The Yamaha AG1-HC hard-shell Guitar case is as expected. Very good materials with excellent attention to assembly detail. My new FG830 fits snug in the well appointed padded interior and is very well protected. I'm very happy with the case!

Case for Acoustic

By Jeffry Wallmark from FORT SMITH, AR on December 20, 2020

I bought this case for my 1969 Red Label Yamaha FG110. Well it fits perfect and I am really pleased with the quality for 79 bucks. Does everything it is supposed to do in protecting your Guitar. I am o glad I did not have to pay 129.00 for what it seems every case seems to cost. I tried my Takamine left handed GN93CE NEX body , and it fit like a glove. So when they say it will fit other large Acoustics (jumbos), they are right on in that description. I was totally impressed with the job Sweetwater did with Cost, Delivery and follow-up. My sales engineer Jeff even called to see if He could help me further on my dinky 79.00 purchase. Just that they follow-up personally is so impressive. Its this kind of service that makes Sweetwater a great company to do business with.

A perfect replacement for an old guitar, fits like a glove!

By Jared from Los Angeles on August 14, 2020 Music Background: Drums, Bass, Guitar

My original case for this 30+ year old guitar was lost in an unfortunate flooding accident in a storage unit. Lucky for me the guitar was no in the case at the time! This case is a perfect replacement. My only acoustic guitar, a Yamaha FG-450, fits perfectly in this case, and barring any unforeseen incidents this one should last the rest of it's life. Really solid construction and a great deal...

Yamaha AG1-HC Hardshell Acoustic Guitar Case

By Irvine E. Sines from VA on June 30, 2020 Music Background: Still learning after sixty years!

Usually, if a Big Name vendor leaves their name off a product it is of suspect quality regarding materials or manufacturing . That is not the case here. It fits the Yamaha FG800 extremely well, fit and finish are superb. There is none of the offensive odor that some new cases may have and the price at Sweetwater is one that will make you come back for more of your gear needs!

Beautiful Case!

Very Good Case for the money

By Sweetwater Customer from SE Florida on May 29, 2020 Music Background: Guitar / Sound Engineering

Fits Yamaha LL16 12-string like a glove. Not as nice or form fitting as the case that cones with the A5M. It's a tight fit, but that's OK. Great case at this dollar point.

My guitar case

By Jonathan from Bethel, Alaska on May 26, 2020 Music Background: Acoustic country/rock

It's the perfect case for my new Yamaha FG-830 acoustic guitar and I can't picture another case for it. It fits perfectly and a great home and protection for my acoustic guitar. I love it.

A nice, solidly-built hardshell case at an affordable price

By Jason Thompson from Los Angeles, CA on May 15, 2020 Music Background: Taking up guitar and bass for the first time and planning to make it a long-term committent for once

Basically purchased this one in preparation for my Yamaha FG820L, which is set to arrive sometime early next month. First impression: for a guitar case made in China it certainly doesn't look or even feel like it. Materials used appear to be of sound quality ("environmentally friendly" if you're going by what Yamaha's saying about this product; if so, more power to them for taking the initiative). Exterior's well-tailored, with four solid metal latches (including one with a key lock option) safely securing the guitar within. Stitching's professionally done, no loose ends I could detect. Top comes down perfectly on mine, wasn't any need to move it around a bit in order to get it to fit properly over the latches. Also comes equipped with rounded metal footings which give one the choice to either store it upright or flat on its side. Interior's well-layered, plush yet sturdy enough with a hidden compartment to store your basic set-up gear at least. This case was originally designed with Yamaha dreadnought-styled guitars in mind, but Yamaha's calculated decision to leave off their brand name tells me that it could also be used to store a wide variety of dreadnoughts of a similar size or close to it. For the price it's currently listed at, I consider that to be a downright STEAL. Read that another reviewer on here was griping about this case being "too heavy", but it feels pretty darn light to me in my honest opinion. Perhaps a few more trips to the gym ought to be in order for that person, lol.

Thank you Sweetwater for safely packaging and shipping it out to me in a timely manner. Can hardly wait for my guitar to finally arrivem but I'll manage...

Hard shell

By J.D. on May 24, 2019 Music Background: Intermediate

This case is on par with hard shells at a much higher price point. In many ways superior to the case I purchased for my semi hollow at twice the price! Needless to say I was quite surprised at the perfect fit and plush interior. The wife's guitar is sleeping securely. Nice hardware and the binding is outstanding. Very happy with this purchase.

A guitar case for the ages

By Marcia Brubeck from Hartford, Connecticut on March 7, 2019 Music Background: Amateur

This guitar case exceeded all my expectations. It could probably withstand the impact of Amtrak bound for New York City. It could also function as an economical casket, being big and strong, though its lock and key would be unusual in this application. The case is beyond sturdy. It is also heavy. Fully loaded, it will help me build my biceps and triceps. While the guitar, at Yamaha's lower end, will die, this guitar case will go on and on and on. Wow.

YAMAHA AG1-HC GUITAR CASE

By Sweetwater Customer on October 31, 2018

PERFECT FIT. SUPER CONSTUCTION. VERRY PLEASED

First Class Case

By Sweetwater Customer on April 24, 2018 Music Background: Guitar, Bass Recording Engineer

Ordered this case to fit a Yamaha FG Series 12 string that was recently given to me. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. It is a perfect fit for the guitar, very plush interior, solidly constructed and with a nice large storage bin. Everything you could want in a case if your guitar fits. It compares well to Martin, Taylor, Fender, Takamine and SKB cases I use for other guitars and bases. A really good value compared to these other options

Yamaha hard shell case

By Sweetwater Customer on February 19, 2018

Awesome case! The exterior is so tastefully made from the stitching to the materials used, the interior is black which I personally love and my Guitar fits excellent, and it has that brand new smell to it also, couldn"t be any happier with it !

Matches my furnature

By Peter from Cornwall, NY on July 27, 2017 Music Background: A legend in his own mind... I mean time.

The first case arrived damaged.. The second case is terrific.. The case lives in my living room and the brass colored hinges and buckles match the rest of the room perfectly... The case is a bargain for $ (the current price).... It is light weight but strong enough for around town.. The FG fits nicely.. The compartments are well though out... It buckles right...

I looked at many other cases but I think this was the only one I found with brass colored hinges.. In many years when it gets some dings and scrapes... I think it will look good even then, but in a different way..

I will enjoy it in both forms... For now... It is a thing of handsomeness...

Yamaha AG1-HC

By Kevin S. from Winston Salem N.C. on August 14, 2016

Ordered this along with a FG830 and am as pleased with this case as I am the guitar. "Your moneys worth" is the phrase that comes to my mind with Yamaha products. My FG830 fits snug in this case. The case feels solid and has a key lock. There is about 2-3" of space in front of the guitar where the neck meets the body,perfect for a humidifier. Nice size compartment for strings, tuner etc. Very happy with this product. As I stated in my guitar review this is my first time dealing with Sweetwater and it has been a pleasure to deal with a company so focused on customer satisfaction. I will be back ! :)

Great case for my vintage FG-300 Red Label

By Larry Monce from Florida on February 9, 2023 Music Background: Self taught, been playing for 35+ years. Just with friends and around home. Never professionally

Pretty good quality for the money. Fits my vintage FG-300 Red Label snug but I'd rather it snug than loose. Hoping it loosens up a little over time.
My guitar lower bout measures 16.250". The case is slightly smaller at 16.125" I have to press it in a little but certainly do-able.
Of course Sweetwater customer service is always awesome!

Yamaha AG1-Hc Case

By Steve from Florida on February 6, 2020 Music Background: Novice

Although the case its fl is not labeled "YAMAHA" per se, it is apparently made to their exact specifications to fit the FG800 Dreadnought guitar. It has excellent interior plush lining plus padding in the cover to secure the guitar body over the sound hole and bridge ares, as well as a smaller padded area that secures the neck. The case itself is heavy duty with five (5) latches, one of which is locking. I rated it a 4.5 instead of 5 only because it seems to be on the heavy side, of course lighter weight composite materials to make it lighter would elevate it cost at least 2X or more.

This case seems to be the best bang for $… or less that I came across and as the saying goes probably, better than many costing much more.

Hardshell case

By Sweetwater Customer on September 23, 2018

Would have given it a five had it come with silver hardware over gold.

What you need

By Glenn from Daytona Beach on January 25, 2018 Music Background: Hobbyist aspiring professional

The case fits my Yamaha LL6 snugly and the interior is soft with no worries of scratching. It has feet on the bottom and side so that matter how you want to lay the guitar down it will be as stable as possible. I only give it a 4.5 because its a universal case and wish Yamaha made a specific one for my guitar.

Good tight fitting case.

By Sweetwater Customer on October 23, 2017

Fits my guitar perfect.

Very nice

By Robert Boe from Aberdeen, Washington on July 12, 2017 Music Background: Beginner, but learning fast

As I have said many times, nothing is perfect, BUT! This case is fine, just what I need to protect my A1M electric-acoustic guitar. Holds it gently but firmly, if you get my meaning. Love it. Thanks Joe.

acoustic guitar case

By michael green from Arizona on August 26, 2021 Music Background: singer-songwriter-performer

Good case, provides protection for my acoustic guitar.

Basic case that does the job

By Geoman15 from Louisville, KY on May 27, 2019 Music Background: Been playing since 68. In bands, church and for fun.

Well built. Good patches and handle. That's the important thing.
Padded where needed, but not plush.
Good basic case.
The attention was put where needed in the hardware.
Should last a long time.
Worth the price.

A bit snug (the head stovk)

By Freddie Beard from Batesville, AR on June 1, 2023 Music Background: Been playing most my life

While the looks are very amazing, and the overall construction appears to be very good! There is something that I want to point out. The body portion of the case fits very snug, as well as the neck rest. The part that may not appeal to some is the head stock is almost touching both sides of the case. You need to be watching carefully as you please your guitar in this case! I think I would prefer a little wider on this part. Maybe other guitars have more room than my new "IBG Epiphone Hummingbird" I just got from Sweetwater! It by the way is one more guitar for the money! But, I may end up ordering another case later and using this one for one of my older vintage guitars I am fixing up. I think it will be a long lasting case, and is very pretty to the eye! How this helps, thanks guys at SWEETWATER, this company keeps me inspired to play! I plan on keeping a running tab

A good case for the times

By Joseph Lipman from Maryville, TN on December 16, 2022 Music Background: Ky Thumbpicking, clawhammer, learing western swing

Fit is great, hardware works but is lightweight. I was disappointed that is was a flat top lid. I expected an archtop at this price point. I guess that's just a sign of the times. Overall I would buy again given the alternatives.

Overall Quality Case

By Sweetwater Customer on July 9, 2019

It had a very strong new case smell that smelled like fish, but that has sided down significantly after 2 weeks. The top also isn"t a perfect fit for the bottom. You have to squeeze the sides of the bottom to shut it but it"s not difficult, just annoying.

Everything else about is excellent. Strong exterior, soft interior, and I like the amount of clasps

Decent case. A bit snug.

By Jeffrey Smith from CLANTON, AL on September 13, 2023

If you are putting a hummingbird into this …. Even the Epiphone model.. just know it's a tight fit. You'll have to do some pushing. Pretty decent case though.

Vert nice nice case, has a noticeable smell of glue

By John from Fort White Florida on December 27, 2022 Music Background: Folf song writer artist

I really could use three of these cases, but I have experienced what seemed to me a strong scent of the factory glue they used to put the cases together, and then I had a nice solid rosewood yamaha scent somehow got imbedded with that glue scent that mingled with the glue and the glue turned into a strong scent of rosewood. I had to keep the guitar and the case out of the house. Nothing sadder to have a beautiful new guitar and case that has such a strong sweet scent whether, Rosewood or Mahogany, , those hardwood smells got stronger and stronger by the day, so i had to sell it all , the nice case and the Yamaha.A34 bye bye nice guitar.
The other thing that I liked a lot was the nice little bronze plaque that said YAMAHA. it was placed between the four brass screews on the side of the guitar case, it was classy and gave me a good visual seeing it there. There must be a better glue, perhaps water-soluble that can be applied to the inside of the case and help keep the soft fabric smoothly laid in without the carcinogen smell of glue, Pleae look into changing out that glue, it is effecting the quality of the guitars and please bring the classy brass plaque , I give 3 stars for the fine guitar case. And two missing stars, one for the missing bronze plaque and one for the carcinogen glue or.what.ever that is , hey I even tried the pressure clean that away, nothing fixed the problem, the CEO needs look I to this, thank you

good case

By aspie from smack dab in the middle of he.. , I mean AL on May 1, 2018 Music Background: autistic hacker

I got this to go with my new yamaha LL16 because I am not a fan of the soft sided case /bags . Fits the LL16 perfectly and looks good with gold hardware that matches the gold tuners . Probably going to be better for case humidifying too . well made and attractive , like me .


definitely worth the up-grade

Almost

By Phillip Harris from AL on February 18, 2021 Music Background: Nashville Published Songwriter

Got this for an old yamaha here at the house. Guitar fits perfectly. 3rd latch towards the back was very loose. One of the little gold pins that attach it to the case was halfway out. Oh well. Case still works good enough for the old beater I bought it for but paying full price and getting something already defective stinks. The box arrived from FedEx in mint condition so it was not damaged during shipping. Inside is really nice though.
