Ibanez MR500C Molded Hardshell Guitar Case - Multi Series Reviews
The MR500C hardshell case from Ibanez is a durable, ABS plastic case that protects your electric from the dings and dents of getting to and from the gig. The rugged shell of the MR500C is your first level of defense against colliding cases, amps, stage floors, and the back of vans where so many instruments and gear get damaged. The interior of the MR500C is the second line of defense, featuring a plush, contoured molding that hugs and holds your bass securely while it travels. This versatile case also fits 7-string, 8-string, and even 9-string models. Finally, the MR500C comes with its own Ibanez tool case and can be securely locked up while flying or traveling with it TSA-approved lock — a feature Sweetwater bassists really appreciate.

Excellent case
I was looking for a case to hold my Ibanez RG450 guitar and had kind of settled on a different one when my sales engineer John suggested that I look at this one. It fits my guitar really well and secure. I was wanting something similar to my nice Fender hard case for my Strat. This one doesn't have the compartment with a lid like the Fender but it does come with a nice case that holds my picks, tools, and other small items. I can't recommend it enough.
Really Good Baritone Case
I have two of these now. One for a PRS Mark Holcombe SVN (26.5" scale 7-string) and one for an Ibanez RGIB21 (28" scale 6-string). It fits both perfectly. If you have (or are getting) a baritone that doesn't have a case - this case will probably fit it.
Sweet! Yes...Sweetwater! Refreshing Sweetwater!
I have purchased guitars, amplifiers, and accessories from Sweetwater. I have yet to be disappointed. Sweetwater is excellent in every aspect of eCommerce and all sorts of music and recording equipment. Man, they have everything. And top brands with no better prices anywhere! I am a fan of Sweetwater, obviously, and continue to be! Way to go!!
Great case
Bought this for the PRS Silver Sky Roxy Pi k guitar and it fits perfectly. Super solid design and a really good value.
Excellent case
This case offers some serious protection for your strat style guitars. I house my Jackson SL2 in it and it fits great. the case also fits my Ibanez RG, Fender Strat, Yamaha PRS style guitar, and Fender Lead III just fine.The lock works great and the latches are rugged and easy to open.The only slight downside to this case is that there isn't much storage, but for the protection that it provides it's not a dealbreaker.
Great Quality Case
Very good case at a great price! Perfect fit with adjustable padding. Sweetwater guaranteed the fit and my LTD Eclipse Tele fit like a glove. Very happy.
Awesome
Really nice case I highly recommend it!!!
Ibanez MR500C
A nice home for my ESP LTD M-1007. Has a couple of inserts to adjust to different guitars.
Ibanez MR500 Hard Case
NICE Case!!, well worth the money spent, very high end and protects very well. Fits the RG series perfect, and all the tools that come with the guitar. The only thing I dont like is the boring interior color, red or pink would have been a nice option.
Great ERG Case
Fits anything I throw in it, and provides an interchangeable pad for different neck widths as well as one for varying body sizes. I have three Ibanez"s (a prestige, FTM33, and the new Axion ALMS), and this by far the best case I have out of all of them.
Perfect fit
Very rugged and it works like a charm for my Ibanez RGD
Mr500C Guitar Case
Great Quality Universal Guitar Case at a reasonable price point! I bought it for my newly acquired Solar A1.7TRB with a 26.5" scale and it fits beautifully!! Not an exact fit, but it is an Ibanez case with a Solar Guitar in it!! Overall, very robust and the TSA latches are a nice touch. Very much recommend!
Meh
The case for me personally is kinda disappointing. The interior fits baritone guitars 6-7-8 etc ad advertised. The inside is nice plush and has good fitment with options for the neck cavity and body to provide a more snug fit. I personally don't care for the latches, cheap feeling bulky plastic latches seems like if you hit them hard they'd crack or break. The case itself doesn't feel quality to me: the side are soft and bow in when just putting a little pressure with hand. When grabbing it or it touches anything you can see the flex in the case and the seal where the top and bottom meets together is wiggling around. Just feels cheap to me. Again this is all personal preference. Expected a LOT more out of a $ case to be honest
Not a perfect fit :/
So I got this case because it was supposedly a guaranteed fit for the Yamaha Pacifica 612 and I trust Sweetwater to give good recommendations. It finally arrives and I put it in the case just for it to not fit correctly….very disappointing. So if you happen to have a guitar that isn't specifically an Ibanez and is supposed to be a guarantee fit for the guitar your buying I don't recommend buying this one. The quality of the case itself is alright. The outside definitely sells it but it's the inside that's lacking for me.
