Powerful Hybrid Protection From Gator

Gigging musicians at Sweetwater know that the Gator GL-MANDOLIN lightweight mandolin case is just the right blend of protection and convenience. From your car's back seat to your spot on stage, protecting your instrument is always the priority. The GL-MANDOLIN's semi-rigid frame is covered with a 600-Denier nylon outer shell that resists moisture and tearing, keeping your mandolin clean and safe. Convenient exterior pockets are ready for your gig essentials and the plush interior lining leaves your instrument's finish scratch-free — you'll always be ready to play with Gator's GL-MANDOLIN lightweight mandolin case.

Protection and convenience for your busy gig schedule

The 600-Denier nylon outer shell is just the start of the protective powers of the GL-MANDOLIN. Soft and strong — EPS foam padding forms a barrier between your mandolin and the thumps and bumps that happen when you're on-the-go. The foam also provides support and protection for the most vulnerable part of your instrument — the neck — ensuring your mandolin stays ready to play. Two accessory pockets grace the front of the GL-MANDOLIN giving you plenty of space for your cables, pedals, and strap. The pockets and the case are secured with heavy-duty zippers for easy loading and unloading of your precious passenger. For transport, choose between a sturdy parachute-nylon web handle or the removable shoulder strap. Gator Cases are made to withstand anything, making the lightweight and durable GL-MANDOLIN a must-have piece of gear for your gigging life.

Quality Gear from Gator

Gator offers a host of rugged cases and bags, so you can make sure every element of your rig is secure. If you need protection for a mixer or rackmountable equipment, Gator offers multiple hard-shell cases, durable bags, and covers. Likewise, there's no better way to protect your acoustic or electric guitar, bass, or keyboard than by using one of Gator's gig bags or hard cases. Gator even offers an extensive line of pedalboard accessories, laptop cases, PA bags, microphone cases, and more. When it comes to your gear, trust Gator for the ultimate in protection.

Gator GL-MANDOLIN Lightweight Mandolin Case Features:

  • Perfect cross between hard case and gig bag offers convenience and protection for your instruments
  • Semi-rigid, firm construction of dense EPS foam keeps shape and protects from impacts
  • Plush interior supports and reinforces without scratching your mandolin's finish
  • 600-Denier nylon withstands the elements and takes the brunt of gig abuse
  • Nylon web handle and comfortable removable shoulder strap gives you carry options
  • Two zippered accessory pockets for all of your gig essentials
  • Fits both A- and F-style mandolins

Sturdy, Lightweight, and Good Price

You get alot of bang for you buck on this one. My wife bought me a Fender PM-180E for my birthday. I love it and wanted something better to haul it around in that a cheap gig bag. I found this and knew it'd be perfect. It fits my Fender mandolin like a glove. You'd think it was made just for it. It looks great. Very well built. I keep my tuner and picks in the inside compartment and my extra strings in one of the outside pockets. My mandolin stays in tune better now that the tuning knows are adequately protected. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Music background: I just like to play around.

Nice gig bag

Nicely padded, plenty of storage with good protection for taking a tablet or other accessories to the gig. Secure but still good access for unpacking and packing your instrument.
Music background: 30 year gigging local musician

Great Case

This mandolin case is my third Gator gig product and I love it! Safe storage, easy to use and maintains humidity better than its original hard shell case. Plenty of inside storage space for mando strap, tuner, humidifier… outside pocket for iPad, song sheets, performance agreements… Love it
Rated 5/5

Great Quality affordable case.

It's material and stitching provides a long lasting quality case to protect your instrument.
Rated 5/5

Great gigable case

Got this in conjunction with the Gator Transit Acoustic gig bag with the plan to carabiner it to the d-rings on the top of the Acoustic so I'd have one bundle to carry on acoustic gigs... Mission accomplished! It holds either my Washburn Timeless Celtic or my Breedlove and is lightweight enough that, combined with the acoustic, it's still easily portable. It is solid enough that only a serious crush would differentiate it from a full hard-case.
