Perfect fit for Alvarez AD30ce

Great case for the price you can't beat it and a perfect fit for my Alvarez AD30ce. Lighter than I thought it would be which is a good thing. The TSA latches are a little overkill for my needs as the case will likely never travel but in the event I need to I know my guitar will be safe. If your buying a dreadnaught with the specs of the Alvarez Ad30ce rest assured it's a perfect fit.

Fast Shipping. Well built

I own a Martin OMCPA4 acoustic guitar and needed a new case for it. Since this guitar is discontinued it's hard to find an "exact fit" case for it. Gator does make one that has the exact dimensions, but it's reviews are not great because the storage area for straps, strings…etc. is too small. I spoke with my store rep and he recommended this case. My Martin is a concert style body which means it's quite a bit smaller than a dreadnought. I wasn't convinced that I'd be happy with this case for this guitar, but it actually fits the case pretty well. Side to side the guitar fits pretty snug. Top to bottom there is about an inch of play where the guitar could slide. I made a point to close the lid carry the case around trying to see if I could hear or feel it move and it seemed to be very secure. The case is slightly thicker than this Martin also, but the padding seems to hold it in place.
I searched pretty hard for a hard shelled case at an affordable price. If you have an 000 or an OM Martin I wouldn't be afraid to buy this dreadnought case. It honestly fits in it just as well and maybe even a bit better than it fit in its original Martin case that I replaced with this one.
I am overall very happy with this case and wish I would have bought it a while ago. I highly recommend getting one.

This is a really nice guitar case.

My Martin gpc-16e fits nicely in it. I really like how the case has 4 little feet that allow the case be stored in the upright position without having to lean it against something. All around a beautiful case that's worth every penny in my opinion.

Great Case for Air Travel

Love the Gator ATA Case. Traveled internationally with a Martin SC-13E guitar and the case worked exactly as promised. While the outside was scuffed, the guitar was in perfect condition. I also appreciate the TSA locks as the customs team did open the case on my return to the US.

Excellent value

Watched a buddy's Martin take an awkward dive out of the top of a loaded Tahoe onto concrete in one of these. No damage at all. For a case, can't ask for more.
