The RIGHT size

By Douglas F. from DEER PARK, NY

FITS larger size Classical just right (rare Guild-C2) Always measure! Molded cases are superior to wood cases for Hydration retention. This case has a good seal around the edge. A+ Gator people!

Fits Martin 00 perfectly

By Chris from AL

I own a Martin CEO-7 which I bought used that didn't have a case. This is a slope shoulder 14 fret 00 and I was having a hard time finding a case and couldn't find a Martin factory one for whatever reason. While perusing the new CEO-7s on Sweetwater noticed this case was listed as a great fit, so I tried it. This thing is fantastic! Solidly built, fits the guitar perfectly, and feels almost as light as the Mono Gig bag I had been using. Love the latches, which are only 3 on the front and eliminates having to undo all the front & back latches on the factory cases. If I don't change my mind, I think I'm going to replace all my Martin factory cases with these!

Fits my Martin 00-18 like a glove

By Sweetwater Customer from MD
Music Background: Mainly an upright bass player

Kind of an "ugly duckling" IMHO, but at about half the price of the Martin branded alternative, this case is sturdy, light, suited for purpose, and inspires confidence. I have no plans to check it on a flight, but I would not be stressed in the event I have to gate-check it.

Exceptional Customer Service

By Chester C. from TOMS RIVER, NJ
Music Background: Guitar Hobby

I recently ordered the Gator classical guitar flight case from Sweetwater, and I was impressed right from the start.
The next day, I received a friendly email from Kenny, one of their sales representatives, confirming my purchase to make sure everything was in order. After I confirmed, Kenny promptly shipped my order the same day.

Just two days later, my FedEx package arrived. Although I received the wrong item, I quickly reached out to Kenny, who responded within minutes and advised me to contact Sweetwater directly. I spoke with Colin, who was incredibly helpful and professional. He provided me with a return label for the incorrect item and generously offered a complimentary high-end music stand to make up for the mix-up. Colin also arranged for a replacement to be sent via FedEx overnight, and the guitar case along with the music stand arrived in excellent condition the very next day.

The customer service from both Kenny and Colin was outstanding. It's clear why Sweetwater has such a strong reputation in the music equipment retail space. I am very satisfied with my experience.

Good fit for Gibson L00 or Guild P250e

By Sweetwater Customer from Atlantic Highlands NJ
Music Background: No one cares

Snug fit for the Gibson L00.
Slightly loose on the body for a Guild P250 but a sock will do for fixing that issue.
Both guitars are same in length and the head stock slightly touch at the top inside case but I don't think that will be a problem.
I have these cases for a SG and a Les Paul. They are built tough and the handle is nice as well.

A sturdy case that fits classical guitars that are a little larger than average

By Sweetwater Customer
Music Background: mixture of classical, folk, blues and jazz

I needed a sturdier case for a Fraguela classical guitar that is a little wider and deeper than the average, by about 3/8". Previous experience buying cases taught me that careful measurements were needed to fit an instrument that is a bit different from the average for an instrument type. The Sweetwater description of case interior dimensions were a great help in selecting a case - the dimensions given for the Gator case indicated that it should fit. Most other sites did not give full interior dimensions on their cases. A few years ago I bought an SKB case for the Fraguela that wound up being a little too tight, so I use it for my Taurus classical instead. When I actually put the Fraguela in the Gator case, it was as if it were a custom fit, not too tight, not too loose. The case seems sturdy, a thicker grade of plastic and metal reinforcement is used than many of its competitors, and the locks and hinges look strong as well. It does weigh a couple of pounds more than most of its competitors. I possibly could have gotten a strong case that fits by shopping at a specialist classical guitar site, but the serious travel cases they had were in the $800-$1200 range, probably because they use a lot of carbon fiber and are made in small numbers; some of them also required several week lead times.

Great case for the money....

By David H. from St. Paul, MN
Music Background: Performing songwriter

Got one of these to travel, carrying a Farida OT-22 (similar shape and size to a Gibson LG-2) and have checked it on international flights. While not marketed as a "flight case," per se, it has provided great protection. If a baggage handler abused it, it sure doesn't show and the guitar inside has been just fine upon arrival. I'm glad I found it. Excellent value.

Sweetwater is terrific!

By Sweetwater Customer

My wife bought me a guitar case for my guitar as a birthday present. Of course she called Sweetwater. The sales person was extremely helpful, and I love my present. Sweetwater is the best!

Well-Built and Perfect for Classical and Smaller-Body Guitars like My Gibson LG-1

By Michael

I bought the Gator ATA Molded Guitar Case - w/TSA latches for Classical Guitars to replace a previous hard case that was aging out. When it arrived, its quality was immediately apparent. Then I put my Gibson LG-1 in it... and I realized it wasn't just a replacement case, it was an improvement upon my previous case in pretty much every way. More durable exterior, much better padding without making the case bulky, and it hugged the contours of my guitar like a glove, much better than my previous case did. The accessories pocket is a decent size, big enough to fit a tuner, a Fishman pickup, a little screwdriver box I use for the pickup, a capo, and picks. If you don't tote a pickup around, there's plenty of room for an extra set of strings. The case has other great features, too, like the little feet that make the case stable standing upright, and the TSA lock.

I don't like the look as much as the classic hard case look, but that is a small price to pay for much better protection for my guitar. The latches have a wonderful feel to them, but time will tell how the plastic holds up. Hopefully they're as durable as the rest of the case.

And Sweetwater delivered the Gator case quickly and at a good price. Thanks, Sweetwater!

Gator ATA Molded Guitar Case

By Bonifacio from California

Perfect fit for my 1943 Hauser replica. I didn't need a $700- nor $1100-fiberglass case; this Gator case sufficient protection. I'm totally satisfied.
