Great case
This case was made for my guitar
Nice case - little pricey
Perfectly fits my Honey Dripper. Very well made. Case is made by TKL. Gotta say, it's bit overpriced considering Fender and Gibson branded cases cost the same. That said, it will protect my investment for a lifetime. If you have the bucks, don't hesitate.
Affordable quality
Nice case… handle is comfortable and latches appear sturdy enough to last for a long time. The purple inside Is plush and provides great cushioning, and it perfectly fits the Gretsch resonator that I bought with it.
Fantastic case!
The case not only looks great, but fits great.
Case for black penguin
Good fit. Be careful of thickness of strap: may affect fit
Perfect Case for Gretsch Honeydipper
This case is a perfect fit and really well made and looks great inside and out!
mission accomplished
this case was bought for my gretsch 6122jr that has a 14" lower bout. nothing else on the market fits my gretsch 6122jr snug except for this
good case
seems to be a good case, better than a lot, but quite good for the price
perfect
The case was a demo, and when it arrived - two days after I ordered it!!! - I inspected it thoroughly....I uncovered no flaws! My Gretsch Boxcar fits in it perfectly. It's got great purple lining. and of course, Sweetwater customer service is first rate.
Nice Guitar Case
Very nice case. It looks great and fits my new Gretsch Resonator very well.
My Sweetwater experience was once again excellent. Prompt attention, shipping was on time and arrived well packaged. Nick, my Sweetwater rep contacted me before and after to make sure all was well. Thanks Nick!
Hardshell vs. gigbag
I didn't give it a 5 because it's hard to get "blown away" by a case. I have owned the Gretch Boxcar resonator for several months now. I waited for the cases due to the protection level over the gigbag also offered for these style guitars. The case is well made, with no flaws and it has a nice tight fit.. It has a very cool purple interior too. Spend the money for the case over the bag. It's well worth it.
It's a keeper
This case fits my gretsch honey dipper perfectly. I'm not overly impressed with the lining though. I think the lining in my gator journeyman reso case is more nicely done. My other reso fits perfectly in that one.i wish they made one sized for the gretsch.
Sweetwater was great to deal with.
Great case!
It's a fine case and fits the Gretsch resonator like a glove. Plush inside. Only thing is I wish it had at least one more closing snap on the back side. Other than that, it's a fine case.
Perfect fit / Way too expensive
First off, sweetwater is fantastic. I received my order extremely fast and couldn't be happier in dealing with them.
The case however is kind of a letdown. It fits my g9200 boxcar perfectly. Quality wise though I feel like I got ripped off. Its very light and the wood feels thin. There are staples protruding from both sides where i'm assuming they stapled the inner pocket. Which again speaks to how low quality the wood must be. At first I thought it had been damaged in shipping but I guess that's how its supposed to be?
If you own a gretsch resonator its tough because there aren't a lot of options out there. Seeing this in person makes me wish I'd of bought the cheap gig bag instead though im sure it also sucks. And the journeyman case might not fit it as well as this one does.
So 4 stars because technically it fits great and its a case. The price is robbery though.
Amazing Case how Sweet
Really nice, quite plush, very well padded, strong carrying handle, substantial; fits my Gretsch 9200 perfectly, as it should. (One should be so lucky as to be buried in a box this nice. ;-)
Not a complaint but I think it could have more than three clasps; many less expensive hard cases have four clasps. Might have arrived in a more timely fashion if fedex used GPS, Google earth etc.
Great case
I bought this case from Sweetwater because they have excellent customer service (thanks AJ!). This product was no exception. It arrived before Christmas and ahead of time. It also fit my Regal guitar perfectly and is excellent quality. I highly recommend it.
Fits guitar like a dream

Dissatisfied
I was not happy, to say the least, when I received this case. It fits my Gretsch round neck resonator perfectly, but this case is only four ply (flat top), it has only three clasp and it sells for over $150. Love the guitar, but I feel ripped off on the case purchase. Save your dollars and buy the new padded case. I doubt this hard case offers any better protection for your guitar. Save yourself the $95 difference in cost.
