Perfect fit for my Cordova
Love the tight fit for the guitar and the extra space for accessories. The sponge and mechanism for humidification is easy to use. The case is made very well. Worth the cost.
Top Quality Case
This Cordoba case is very well made, top quality throughout. Fits my wife's Cordoba C3M perfectly. As expected the Humidity Control works great. However I do feel it is a bit pricey, almost as much as I paid for her Guitar.
Exactly what was needed.
The case fits the guitar precisely.
There is no gapping or slop and the guitar is held securely.
The HumiCase is a great invesstment to preserve the instrument.
Excellent Case!
When you buy this case (within 30 days of buying a Cordoba guitar) and registering both with Cordoba your 3 year guitar warranty turns to a lifetime warranty! I like that. Case is well made and fits my C7 perfectly and SweetWater gave me a nice deal (with guitar). Thank you HumiCase, Cordoba and SweetWater (Uncle Phil)
Great case
This guitar case is very fine. It supports your guitar as one would expect from years of development. I am very satisfied by the instrumental fit an I would buy it again by request in the future.
You need this case.
If you have a Cordoba guitar, you need this case. The guitar fits perfectly inside the case and you do not have to worry about cracks in your guitar with the built-in humidifier. During the warmer months you don't even need to soak the sponge. I will leave it out until the temperatures start to drop come September. Underneath where the headstock sits you can even fit a cheap hygrometer to keep an eye on the real humidity levels. And as a bonus, the case smells wonderful and your guitar will too!
Nice and stturdy
Perfect fit for my brand new Cordoba C4-CE Classical Guitar.
It is a must have to protect your guitar investment for years to come!
Perfect fit for GK Studio
Humidity is staying at 45% with D'Addario Humidi-Pak's. Also is sturdy, although not a flight case.
Perfect fit and function!!!
The case fits my Cordoba C7 classical guitar perfectly. It is solid and very well made. It's lining is thick and soft and holds the guitar immobilized so it never slides around. The handle is correctly placed to make the carry balanced. The clasps are sturdy and close perfectly.
Perfect for Cordoba C7-CE
Very nice case that fits my C7-CE perfectly. Good neck support and the guitar does not move once in the case. Cordoba also extends the three year warranty to a life time warranty if you purchase the HumiCase and sue it to keep your guitar properly humidified and protected.
A perfect fit
I purchased this case for a Cordoba fusion (12) orchestra ce crossover. The fit to this instrument is perfect and the humidity feature made the choice even more appealing.
Córdoba Humicase
I love my new Córdoba Humicase. My Córdoba C7 fits perfectly and the humidity is nearly constant. I put a small hydrometer in it and I use the D'Addario Humidipak for reliability. It's a well made case and looks like it will last me for decades. My only issue is there some sharp edges on the latches.
Definitely an upgrade
I bought this case for better protection against the dry Colorado winter air. If fits my LaPatrie Etude like a glove, the lining is very plush and one look at the exterior shows that overall it's very well made. All the latches line up perfectly and it's surprisingly lightweight. Currently I'm using the D'Addario gelpack system for humidity control because I already had them. So I haven't yet used the built in humidifier and will probably wait till the other system wears out, but I like knowing that this case is specifically designed for the humidity control I'm looking for.
Also, I had a question on the built in humidity control system right after the case arrived, and the customer support person, Jamie H. got back to me quickly and was very personable.
Give your guitar some love, buy this case!
Perfect fit
I purchased this case to store my new C7 in. The case fits perfectly, and I appreciate the comfort in knowing I can keep the guitar in an appropriately humidified environment. I also bought a cheap hygrometer to keep in the case.
Great case
Fits my Godin Concert CW perfectly.
Really nice case!
I'me very pleased with the quality of this hardshell case and having the humidity control integrated is perfect.
Awesome hardshell case!
Solidly made with padded plush interior lining to protect my ax, along with a humidifier pod. Fits my Cordoba GK Studio Negra Lefty like a tailored suit!
Really nice little case
Buying this case for my Córdoba GK Studio Negra was a no-brainer... Córdoba gives you seven days to buy one, and they'll upgrade the guitar warranty from three years to limited lifetime. That's all well and good, but if it wasn't a great case, it might not be such a good deal. Happily, this is a really nice case. For a 7-ply case, it's surprisingly light. Yet, it's very nicely made. The lining is padded, plush, and fits my guitar perfectly. I'd read reviews about the latches not all lining up, etc., but all four on my case are great. I'm glad that it locks, too. I'll be interested in how well the humidifier over the sound hole works over time. I keep my guitars well-hydrated, and keep hygrometers inside each case, especially my more-expensive Martin and Taylor guitars. Overall, this is everything it's advertised to be, and seems very well made, especially for the money. Time will tell if it's the quality of a case that ships with $3500 guitars, but even if it isn't, I won't be traveling much with this one.
Perfect guitar case!
This was a Christmas gift for my husband and he loves it! It fits his guitar perfectly and the interior is so lush that he has left it open to admire!
Perfect
This case is perfect for my C-7 CE. One email to Bob Mondok and this case was shipped the same day as they arrived at Sweetwater and that was during the Christmas rush. Bob Mondok and SWEETWATER ROCK.
love it
my c7 fits super in it, and heavy duty, it be very well made
caparison
next to a Gator case, it is a rock star, way better fit much better Quality
The Case For Córdoba
Always great service from Yuval and the team at Sweetwater. This case came with my Cordoba 45FP also purchased at SW. The Case looks great holds the Córdoba 45FP snug. The latches work well and I personally like these better than what"s on the new plastic shell humi cases. The Case is not to heavy and will protect my guitar for local travel. I would not check this case in Bagage clame. I would travel with this on the overhead on Southwest. The handle is comfortable too.
Making a case for this humicase
Wow!!! This case is sturdy, durable and beautiful. Perfect for protecting my new guitar. Thanks Sweetwater!!!
Perfect for your Cordoba!
This case seems very well made and is quite attractive. The Seams are stitched rather than glue and This case seems very well made and is quite attractive. The Seams are stitched rather than glued and the brushed velvet interior is nice. It also fits my Cordoba GK Studio perfectly.
I can"t comment on the humidifier feature, don"t know much about it really.
I think this case would probably be best suited for home use and an occasional trip out, maybe not hard road use, IMO.
Overall I"m very pleased with the quality, functionality and good looks.
Thanks Scott Brobst and Sweetwater, always great to deal with.
Exceeds Expectations
This is the BEST guitar case I could have ever wanted for my Cordoba! It will protect it not only with the Humidifier, but also with the plush, padded interior. The quality of workmanship is excellent and should last for generations! The guitar case is only exceeded by the fantastic customer service at Sweetwater. Yes, I"m a happy customer! Thank you!
GREAT Case
This is one of the nicest cases I've had for one of my guitars. It's made well with lots of padding, nice handle and balance and the built in humidification system is excellent! If you have a guitar that will fit in this case (even besides a Cordoba) it's well worth it!!!!! The biggest factor is to get whatever you need musically from Sweetwater......not only for the BEST customer service in the business but they match GC pricing without the problems and inexperienced techs.
AWESOME CASE!
I love the case it fits my Cordoba maple 12 great. I bought a humidity reader and works perfect. I keep my case at 50%. Case is sturdy and really nicely made. If you have a cordoba you get extended warranty that is worth it.
Excellent product, excellent service!
I just purchased the Cordoba HumiCase Protege hard-shell case with a built-in humidifier, for my nylon string Cordoba guitar. This is, in my opinion, the best case regardless of whether you have an inexpensive C3M or one of their expensive master series guitars. On top of all that, I just wanted to state that their 55-point product evaluation is the best in the industry. My personal Sales Engineer, Stephen Oppenheim, personally checked out my order from top to bottom to ensure everything was up to specs before the product even left their store! I cannot speak highly enough of Sweetwater Music and their dedication to taking care of their customers. But the best part of the experience was that I never felt like a customer; I felt like a friend! These guys are not just sales clerks; they are musicians! They know what real musicians want and need, and they speak our language. Dealing with Sweetwater music was a great experience; I will never go anywhere else!
Humicase
A sturdy solid nice looking guitar case. I've had cheap cases before and this isn't one of them. THANKS Sweetwater !
Impressive Case
I bought this to go along with a Cordoba C7-CE based upon the recommendations of my sales engineer Jay (x1288). I reminded him that the guitar already came with a gig bag. Well, I'm very glad I bought the case. I have cases from Martin and Gibson, and those are nice cases. However, the finish on this jewel looks like polished stones.
As I removed the case from its packaging, my wife said 'Wow, that's an impressive case!'. I agreed, but reserved final judgement until I opened it and put the guitar inside. Perfect fit for the Cordoba C7-CE with plenty of room for additional supplies. Padding and lining are top quality. The humidity canister fits nicely above the sound hole, but the active material is rather thin and may not hold lots of water.
Personally, I will also add a Herco can to the case (there is plenty of room) in the winter just to help with the dry air (gas heat in house).
My only other recommended accessory for this case..... a Cordoba C7-CE guitar.
" CORDOBA HUMICASE PROTEGE CLASSACAL GUITAR CASE "
I BOUGHT THIS CASE FOR MY CORDOBA C5. NICE CASE. I ORDERED IT THURSDAY AND GOT IT SATURDAY. GET YOUR GEAR HERE THESE GUYS ARE GREAT. THANKS BEN !!!!!
Excellent!!!
Solid case. Seems really well constructed. It's nice to know my guitar is bathing in the correct humidity.
Don't buy a guitar with out this case
Great case Great for the warranty
Great Case
I wanted a good case for my new flamenco guitar. This one was only about fifty dollars more than an el cheapo. I am glad I chose it. It is well made and looks great like fine luggage.
HumiCase
I've had this case for 3 years now and I love it. I keep a humidistat in the case and it always reads45-55%. Even if I've forgotten to check the humidifiers in it and they've gotten a little dry
Great Guitar Case!
I love how solid and well built this case is. The humidifiers that are built into the case make this a great choice for acoustic instruments. If you have a guitar you value, buy one of these cases for it. Thanks David (1398)
Perfect fit for a Cordoba GK Studio Classical Guitar
There's not much to find wrong with this case. It's beautiful looking with nice hardware and it fits like a glove for this instrument and has padding that you would expect from a quality case. The case is smaller than a dreadnaught or concert case, so, much less bulky to carry. However, if you don't intend to use the case for a Cordoba GK Studio, make sure to measure the upper, lower and middle bouts, the body and overall length, and depth of your guitar against the published specs for the case before making your decision. I did it anyway to avoid the need to return.
As for the humidity feature, you won't find anything sophisticated like the low maintenance humidipack type system. It's a sponge that snaps out and needs to be checked and wetted to provide humidity during the dry season. Here in NYC, we're still in the humid season, so I haven't tried it yet. I know from my other guitars that the cheaper sponge systems need to be checked daily, and the higher density sponges, which last a few days, have to soak longer. There wasn't any documentation regarding the humidifier, but there is info available online. Make sure the sponge doesn't drip before putting it in the case. I may just use a humidipack instead come winter. It's easier.
Sweetwater is a quality vendor of musical equipment with great support, so you can't go wrong making your purchase through them.
Humipod problem
A good solid case. I have a humidity problem here in the cold New England climate. My only problem with this case is that the entire pod comes out many times when I am trying to just twist off the peeforated cover to get at the sponge. The plastic cup that holds the sponge and perforated cover all comes out together as one piece. The is supposed to stay in the inside of the case cover. It takes some tinkering. I am also using a D"Addario sound hole humidifier but placing it under the headstock.
good quality for reasonable price
Sturdy construction. I'm not sure if humidifier helps. I thought that there are 2 humidifiers but it has only one. Great shape and better quality than what the Guitar Center has on its store.
A fine product
There are many guitar cases on the market and I own several. Cordoba Humicase Protege stands out because of its easy to handle built-in humidifier pod. Many far more expensive cases have pods that attach with velcro which you must first convince to adhere via sticky patch to the velvety case lining. They don't work.
Your guitar will love this case
I recently purchased a Cordoba C7-CE SP/IN. Probably the last new one in online existence. I spent the extra money for this case, because of the built in humidifier and the extended warranty Cordoba provides for my guitar.
The case maintains a humidity of 49-51%. My case came with one new style humidifier over the sound hole. I also installed a hydrometer to monitor the temp and the humidity. The inside of the case is luxury padding with full neck support and a built in storage compartment. My guitar fits in the case snugly so there is no bouncing around. Nice and cozy!
I highly recommend this case, your guitar will like it too!
I also want to thank the folks at Sweetwater for there outstanding Customer Service!
Codoba Humicase Protege
This is a grreat case it looked great in the photos when I received it I was very pleased with the appearance and the fit to my 1976 Yari was very good there is very good room in the accessory area for strings
Good
I had picked up an old Korean guitar from the '70s, no case, and Mr Sweetwater patiently took all my measurements as we honed in on the Córdoba. That is now one happy old guitar.
Great case for the money
Overall, this is built quite well and I like the small "humidifier" that's built in. It gets very dry in the house during the winter thanks to the heater, so it's good to have a little humidity inside the case. The lining is plush and fits my Cordoba C5 like it was made for it, perfect fit. The only negative is that the latches feel a little misaligned, one doesn't want to close unless you push it just right, another doesn't feel like it draws very tight. That's fairly minor compared to the overall quality, but it does stand out given how good everything else feels. I'd still recommend it for anyone looking for a good hard-case for their classical-style guitar.
Lovely case, but my new guitar fits too loosely
Very well made, beautiful case. Had to fish the key out from the inside. But my Cordoba Fusion 12 fits loosely inside. I'll have to add some padding or a towel or something to keep it from banging around.
humicase protege
this case is a good fit for my GK Studio Negra. It is a tight fit, but works, on a LaPatrie crossover.
Construction is good, finish is good. The humidification insert is mickey mouse compared to the set on my full size humidicase.
But, For the money this is far superior to Cordoba's padded gig bags, and is very easy to carry. Wouldn't consider putting a decent acoustic guitar in any other kind of case.
5 stars to Sweetwater for price and service on this case. It's standard on the GK Studio Pro and I think it should be an available option on all the other Cordobas, too.
Cordoba HumiCase Protege
The case looks good and is solid. The interior is nicely cushioned. The latches and handle are not the most solid feeling and would not feel comfortable putting the case through airport baggage treatment.
The case came with no instructions or anything to use for humidification. Would like to have that included.
Overall - for the price, a decent case for local use but not hard traveling, due to the hardware. A plus with life time warranty on the Cordoba guitar when case is purchased along with the guitar.
Humicase
This case is nice but a little pricey. I bought it because I don't think "gig bags" provide a good level of protection and also I intend to keep the guitar for as long as I can. Also, I found out when registering my guitar purchase with Cordoba, they extended the warranty on the guitar for a year because I bought this case with the guitar. The built-in humidifier is very convenient.
Decent case
These cases are just fine for home storage. As humidification systems, they are kind of a joke. If you are buying the case as a solution for keeping your guitar at the proper RH, you will be very disappointed. If you just want a decent case to keep your guitar in, this will work for you. I should also add that these cases scuff very easily, so if you use them out of the house, they will look road worn pretty quickly.
Humi Case for Cordoba Guitar
Case and interior lining are great. Latches, not so much. Latch that has the lock on it has to be pushed to the side to latch and it will not lock at all and once it is latched it is very loose. None of this is really a problem since I only use it for storage in my home and rarely transport it anywhere. I have another Humi Case that is older. Latches are much better quality than this one. They are made of a much heavier material and they close and lock securely.
I cannot believe how badly the case smells of headache inducing chemicals
I have had this case for a couple months now and the chemical smell coming off of it is just as potent as the day I got it. I honestly thought with time the potency would go away but it has not. As much as it is a great fit for my guitar for keeping it safe I have stopped using it all together and simply accept the risk that at some point my guitar could be damaged because I don't have a case I can use for it until I find another one. The potent chemical smell seeps into the guitar the longer I store it in the case. When I take it out to play it makes me cough and I can taste it. I really don't understand how this case could have such a glaring problem. Hopefully, I just have a lemon and for other people it is not such a problem. I think I will give it away on craigslist this weekend.
Buy this case if intend not to use it .....
This case is not meant to be used. Or at least not moved, You know, like in traveling musician. If you contact the outside of the case with anything involved in travel, the case unravels. Outside appears to be made of paper mache. In the old days cases were covered in leather. Plus the case is not "balanced", so that when you open it to remove the guitar, the lid stays up instead of crashing down upon your guitar - like this one does .........
If you actually use this case - don't buy it.
I am a professional solo performer - work 4 - 5 days per week to earn a meager living ..... bought this case as part of my worn-out Cordoba CE replacement plan (see my reviews of the Cordoba C-12 Fusion Orchestra and Roland Street Cube for more eye-openers). This case looks good - in the beginning - but after being transported once or twice you will discover the black covering is nothing more than paper-mache and tears away from the case. What you have is a very disgusting looking case. But it does not end there, this case will injure you. The closing clasps are made of flimsy metal that easily bend when impacted during transport. The bent claps do not close correctly and will cut your fingers and hands when you try to grab the case out of the back seat of your car. End of story.
