Update on defective handle

So TKL really came through with the familiar handle issue. I explained that the second handle was also coming apart and they sent me a new and improved (grained leather). Looks like they dealt with the issue with the original version...they now have screws holding the material on the ends of the handle. This one seems better made.
Case is still holding up very well.
Interesting to note that TKL does NOT show this case on their website. You can find the 533 case all over, but I think that is the 3 ply case.

Good products:Good people

Someone at the top of this organization has realized the importance of the customer and providing them with quality products and 5 star service.
The Martin 545 guitar case is the perfect fit for dreadnought guitars. Brandon, my service representative went out of his way to solve the mystery of case selection for my Martin d28. Man what a great business model and customer oriented business. I think Sweetwater is NUMBER 1.

Beautiful and Classy

This case is gorgeous and exactly what a Martin should be in!! The stitching around the case looks awesome. It has a Martin oval emblem in gold that signifies it's a genuine Martin Case. The guitar is so secure inside.....there's no room to bump around. It has a very LIGHT vanilla scent.....not sure where that comes from....but it smells nice....not overpowering at all. Close all latches first and the locking latch LAST....couldn't be happier. Sweetwater's customer service is 5 star as well. I paid for expedited shipping (because of MY procrastination) it came the NEXT day!!

Class all the way

This case not only fits perfectly but is remarkable in many ways. It exudes class. As a luthier, when I build a guitar, this is the case it comes with. Add a humidification system, engrave the brass plaque and it's ready to go. A fine instrument deserves the best.

Exceptionally Well-made Martin D-42 Case

I acquired this Vintage and Golden Era Series 14-fret model, item ID: C545EC, for Penelope, my 21-year old Martin D-42. Although the case may seem a bit high-priced, it is certainly worth every cent if you truly care about your fine acoustic guitar. The quality is exceptional and it is well-made! Its classic styling is evident at first glance and the comfortable padded handle, six nicely plated latches, and plush wine colored interior give it a touch of elegance.

The case is solid. Close the lid and the latches align, close each latch and the over-center latch action is just right resulting in a lid seal that will easily retain humidity at the right level. Penelope fits perfectly snug and safe. Plus there is plenty of room for a strap, capo, tuner, spare strings, and other small items.

Overall, the fit and finish of this case is without a doubt far more superior to the original Martin 640 molded plastic hard shell case.

Sweetwater has a great price on this case and the service, packing and shipping is incomparable!
