Nice case
I needed a guitar case a bit longer than normal, to accommodate my latest build. I built a 12 string telecaster, and the headstock was about an inch too long to fit a standard case. This case works well for that. The case shipped quickly and arrived with no issues. Would buy from Sweetwater again.
Excellent Case
It is a solid case with everything you need to protect your guitar
Great fit for Schecter 8 strings
Fits great, sturdy materials
GC ELEC XL
It fits my Baritone Ibanez RGIB21 perfectly. Good Case for sure.
Great Case!
This case is very sturdy built and does what it should. The inside has plenty of room to store extra strings, picks, etc. A big thanks to Rob Barraza for always helping me out with the gear I buy.
Good Baritone Case
There are not a whole lot of options for baritone guitar cases, and mine came without one. As this seems to be designed to fit most baritones, it is a good case. I have a Squier Paranormal Cabronita Baritone and it fits the guitar with a couple of inches to spare, so if you are looking for a tight fit you may need to add some extra padding (foam, polish cloth, etc.) I don't believe the extra play could damage the guitar in any way if you didn't. I is a solid case and the interior i nicely lined.
IT'S A NICE CASE BUT...
This case was recommended for a Danelectro Baritone guitar. This in no way fits a Danelectro Baritone guitar. I will use it for another guitar but be careful of the recommendations on here.
Exactly What I Need
I use a Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI, a Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI, and a Squier Vintage Modified Baritone Jazzmaster. That is my thing. Ask anyone who knows me, and they will describe one of those guitars.
The problem for me was finding cases. I recently learned they fit in Jaguar Bass cases (forehead slap moment). However, if you need something more sturdy than wood cases, more roadworthy than wood cases, go with this case.
Great Case for a good value
This is a very nice case and not overly expensive like some other brands. I use it for a ESP LTD MH-1000B and it's great. One disclaimer, it does NOT fit ESP LTD Viper baritones.
Gretsch short scale bass
I looked everywhere for a case that would accommodate my short scale. With this case, it fits nice and tight, with plenty of room for storage.
Durable
This case is exactly what you need if you want to keep your bass protected when not in use.
Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Bass Short Scale Case
Just like the Sweetwater staff recommended, this case is a perfect fit for the Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Short Scale bass.
If this instrument was 1/2" longer it wouldn't fit. There is zero wiggle room, so the bass is held snugly.
The case is exactly what this instrument needs.
Gretsch short scale bass
I read a previous review will it said it fit my short scale which it did. There plenty of room on each side of the neck for tuner cables and straps. There was a certified fit below the case that it wasn't fit my instrument which it did.
Great case
Well worth the money! Good quality.
Does not fit Ibanez TMB35
So firstly just want to say this is a great case, Gator makes good quality stuff. The reason for the 3 stars is that this case is shown as a "certified fit" for the short scale 5 string Ibanez Talman Bass (TMB35 - Mint Green model), and it absolutely does not fit. The case is not long enough for the instrument or wide enough for the neck or body. I'm assuming it will fit other Talman-style short scale basses, but again it is a no-go for the 5 string model. With Sweetwater being Sweetwater they obviously took care of me when I pointed this out to my rep (special thanks to Todd Cotten for fixing everything). I'm just writing this review in the hopes it saves anyone a headache who has the same bass as me and is looking for a hard case
Perfect Case for the Gretsch Jet Jr.
I bought this case after reading that my Gretsch would fit it perfectly and it did. Well constructed as most Gator cases are and plenty of room for your straps, tuner and strings. Worth the price to get.
Nice case, loose fit on FR7
Well-made, no frills case.
Just a word of caution: I bought this for my Jackson FR7 and while it fits the extra length of the guitar, it doesn't hold the body firmly without a good amount of extra padding stuffed in along the sides. No fault of the manufacturer, just the tradeoff of being universal fit.
Fits Music Man/Sterling short scale Sting Ray perfectly.
I have always been pleased with Gator cases. When I got myself a short scale Sting Ray bass I used Gators "Will it fit" helper and this was the best option. My short scale Sting Ray fits in there perfectly and the case is of good quality. I am very pleased.
Nice case
Got this case even though I don't have a baritone guitar. My normal double cutaway 3 pickup guitar (Electra X185) wouldn't fit in the standard length version. This one is pretty much perfect.
Amazing!
I feel very secure and taken care of when I shop here in Sweetwater. The products are always excellent quality. Not to mention the service. Adam did an amazing job at helping me find this terrific case. I came to him with nothing but a picture of the instrument I needed to keep protected and he gave me a name and perfect description of a good case right from the start. Even after as I kept showing him others that could maybe find themselves needing to fit in this "case" he was given the task to find, he still continued to offer me different kinds and his opinions. It was great! Sweetwater has an amazing system and amazing team. Thank you so much Adam and Sweetwater!
Gator Hardcase for 8 String Guitar
Fast delivery and well protected, fits perfect for Ibanez 8 string guitar.
Perfect fit for my PRS SE 277 Baritone
This case is a perfect fit for my baritone. When I took it out of the box it looked smaller than I was expecting, but my PRS SE 2777 Baritone fit perfectly. For comparison, I also tried my PRS Tremonti SE, which had ample space as well. The case is lightweight as well. Good deal for the price.
Excellent!!!
I bought the case for my new Schecter that I bought from Sweetwater and the guitar fits perfect in the case. It's very durable and well made.
Solid case
Fits both the guitars I wanted it too, but it is very tight for a 27" scale length telecaster.
Fits the Gretsch Junior Jet II Bass perfectly
Excellent case for the Junior Jet II Bass. Highly recommended.
Great case
This case is great. Just as advertised it fits my schecter 6 string reaper perfectly. Thanks again Sweetwater for your great products and services.
Does NOT fit Danelectro Baritone Guitar...
As the title states...this case will not fit a Danelectro Baritone Guitar. The case is too short. I would rather the case have been longer with some filler foam to compensate for the extra length.
Good option for short scale basses
I landed on this case after trying to find something for my Fender Mustang PJ bass. Short scale cases are tough to find! For anyone else with this problem: The PJ *just* fits in this case, the headstock does touch the lining and the G tuning peg ends up hitting the lining and turning most of the time... but it"s so much nicer than anything else I"ve tried that I"m keeping it. Great storage, lightweight, and sturdy.
Esp fits perfect
Bought this for my esp/Ltd Kirk Hamett k-202
Fits perfect!
Another great quality deal from Sweetwater.
Great option for my short scale bass
Fits my custom made short scale bass perfectly (check your own instrument's measurements before ordering though!). Snug and without overly crushing the guitar, like some hardshell cases I've owned in the past did. Plenty of storage space. No weird upholstery smell on the inside either. Well balanced when carrying. Perfect price too. Couldn't be happier. And major props to Chuck for quickly getting it out to me in time for tour, my only regret is not getting one sooner :)
Fits Ibanez RGIB6 Baritone
Fits my baritone Ibanez RGIB6 (28 inch scale length). Body fits perfectly. There's 1 inch more of space by headstock, so it should be able to fit a 29" in there. You can lock the case also; it comes with keys. Quick and easy to open with the latches, as opposed to zipper. I wish there was a soft case option, but no complaints. Fair price, around what can be expected for a standard case. I just needed a case to fit and protect my instrument. This does what I needed; I'm satisfied.
FIts BC Rich Assassin guitars
Good case for the price. Fit my Zoltan Signature Assassin perfectly. The body of guitar fits snug in the lower pocket, so even with the slight extra room at the top where headstock goes, the guitar does not move at all when sitting inside. Can leave strap on guitar too, no issues.
GATOR AND WASHBURN SOLAR 17ETC!!!
Fits my washburn solar 17ETC rather well I would say!!!!...very pleased!!!!
Good case.
This seems to be a well constructed case. I have a Gretsch Jet Baritone but I really bought this for my G&L Comanche. The case is long enough but the body area is just a bit small so I will have to make some small modification to accommodate the strap buttons (actually strap locks).
Specs are off
For the money, it's your decent average hard case.
Two issues:
1. Interior length is not 42", it's 41-3/8. My baritone will not fit (warmoth baritone neck on a strat body). It's 42" on the nose, and with this case, the end of the headstock gets pinched in the padding if you try to close the case. This could severely damage the headstock when using it to transport the guitar, negating the use of the case completely.
2. Interior length including padding is 43"
3. Gator has a nice video showing how they make their products in the US, but when you open it up, there's a 'made in china' sticker right on it. I know they do some onshore manufacturing, but not this case. Ah well, can't win them all.
Good case
It's a case. It works. And, it fits a baritone guitar. It could be $10-20 cheaper I thtink but the price is still quite reasonable.
Works great for Danelectro 63 (reissue)
Although it's designed for a baritone Tele, it works just fine for my "63" Danelectro baritone. Nice that the accessory compartments don't have extraneous doors-- covers are built into the case lid. Otherwise, just what you expect of a hardshell case.
