Schecter SGR-1C C-Shape Hardshell Guitar Case Reviews

The case is beautiful. plush interior and best of all a good tight fit.

I had a great experience with Tiberius and Sweetwater on this purchase. The only negative had nothing to do with Sweetwater,it was a bad weather delay for the delivery. I only mention it because the wait is still fresh in my mind. So, hats off to Tiberius and Sweetwater! A special note: Tiberius has been excellent for answering my many questions about various products, including PA systems, and he is never pushy. Thank you Tiberius for that.

This fits both of my Schecter guitars perfectly. What I especially like it is that all of the padding is almost completely form fitting save for some slight extra room around the "horns" on the guitar body. It's also what I would call compact in the sense that there is no extra wasted space, yet the built-in compartments are generous with what they can hold.

Also, I can assure you this case is tough: I accidentally knocked the case over the long way (with a guitar in it) and despite crashing to the floor there was not one single dent, chip, or crack in either the guitar or the case. Protection like that is priceless! I will be ordering another one for my other guitar soon.

I own a Schecter Hard Case for all of my Schecter Guitars. I feel 100% comfortable with their security. Schecter makes the best quality products!

This case checks all of the boxes for my needs. It secures the guitar firmly, feels sturdy, looks good and is lightweight. Mind you, I'm a 100% at-home-only player so I can't speak to this case's durability, but I have had no issues with it.

Very nice case here. I don't play in a band so my guitar doesn't endure the rigors of traveling, but I do have three young boys in the house which may test the integrity of the case beyond the intended purpose and design. So far so good in that area and not only is the case good at keeping my guitar safe and sound but it also looks great while doing so. I would encourage any fence sitters contemplating this purchase to throw caution to the wind and just do it. You will have no regrets!

What my review title says! It's soft, very pretty on the inside, has a pockets for cables, picks, rags, strings, etc.

The only thing it's missing is an espresso machine!

Case is amazing quality! Lining is perfect and there is TONS of space in the case. Holds my C-1 FR S perfectly!

Holds my guitar snug I like the storage very durable

This case is awesome. I've owned two of them and they work amazing for my Hellraiser C1 and Reaper-7 MS.

I purchased this case with the guitar and had them shipped together. Perfect and tight fit. I have heard some people saying it doesn't lock or have a key but it absolutely does. I would definitely recommend it ! Thanks Cory Medina for the great customer service and fast shipping. It comes very well protected in the box and has plenty of padding all the way around it. Definitely worth the investment !!

It's almost unreasonable how much I like this case. I bought it for my Hellraiser C-7 FR-S, and it fits like a glove. I love all the storage compartments, the blue lining, the black hardware, the texture of the shell material, the molded Schecter logo. I would not hesitate to buy another Schecter case for a Schecter guitar.

I will say, though, as others have said, that if the body of your guitar is thinner and the back doesn't make good supportive contact with the bottom of the case, you really need to put something under the body to fill that space and support the weight of the body. Otherwise, the neck will tilt up, and when you close the lid, the lid will push down on the neck and put a risky amount of torque on the neck as it lifts the body up. My Hellraiser does not have this problem, but I know that a CR-6 does.

Bought this for my Hellraiser Hybrid, it did not disappoint. Superb fit, looks fantastic and I really like the way the pockets for your case candy are blocked off when you close it up. No chance of items getting thrown around and into places they don't need to be when you open it up.

It's a perfect fit for my new Damien and they utilized almost all the space with storage compartments.

Got it for my Reaper 7. Body fits nice and snug, neck is a little wide for the cutout but still holds super well

This is a beautiful case. It does a great job protecting the guitar. Excellent fit.

The case itself is perfect for my needs.
I was assisted by Sweetwater on what case would make a good match for my gear.
They delivered in more ways that one!!!

11/10 on the case and 11/10 on the service!!!

Support these people, they are doing things right!!!
They might even be creating a new standard in sales and service!!!

Owned for a short time and already thankful I decided to purchase a matching case for my new Schecter Hellraiser. It's took a couple spills and no cracks and hardly any scuffs. Protected my guitar like it should.

All pieces are well made, nothing feels cheap. My C1 Schecter fits perfectly in it no wiggle room and the additional spots for accessories are extremely useful!

Perfect case for my Hellraiser Hybrid!! Looks great too.

I purchased this case for my Schecter Omen 6. It fits perfectly with no wiggle room. It is an extremely well built product. Great plus interior that is also very appealing. Highly recommend this case.

Glad I ordered this with my Hellraiser, the box was tore up,
Guitar was beautiful.

I ordered the schecter Damien 6 FR in the heavy hard case. Do I personally need it? I don't know, I almost never take my guitar anywhere but if I do this will have me covered. There are compartments inside for any essential things you need like wrenches, a cord, picks, elicit magazines, etc. The padding is firm and smooth to protect your guitar.

Good quality, latches work well. It's made in Asia, no surprise there.
I would likely recommend to friends and family, solid purchase.
Sweetwater has the best on-line music store, massive selection.

My new Schecter Omen Extreme-6 fits perfectly. Soft inside but not so much as to add unnecessary wiggle. Plenty of space for the little things I might need (cleaning, tools, spare 'this and that'). The lock is cheap, but does it's job as well as can be expected. It'll for sure assist in keeping the case closed though the 3 closures have no issues.
There's a mild flex but that adds to the toughness and I think helps resist any 'bump' damage to the case and the guitar inside. The temptation to color in the lettering on the one side of the case is strong, but doing that might be adding too much to it making less appealing to the eye.

This guitar case arrived faster than flash could run, and in mint condition. It fits my Schecter Damien Platinum 6 PERFECTLY with a few compartments to store my picks, a pedal or two and my cables. Sweetwater is an excellent company and I will always buy from them if they have what I'm looking for.

fits perfectly

When I initially picked up my Schecter Omen 6, I'd grabbed a universal case to carry it, but the case wasn't thick enough to account for the angle of the Omen's headstock. The case I ended up purchasing as a result is a perfect fit. The contouring fits the guitar perfectly with approximately a finger's thickness between the lowest point of the headstock and the bottom of the case. There's plenty of storage for the whammy, strings, picks, straps, etc. long story short, is case is ideal for fit and protection. 5/5.

This case fits my Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid just PERFECTLY! A very nice case.

I bought this case to go with my Schecter Omen-6 and the guitar fits it perfectly no wiggle room at all. Definitely a confidence inspiring case.

A perfect fit for any of my C-1 Schecters. Interior is nice and good neck support. I definitely recommend and a good value for your buck. I've paid more for less...lol

Fits great, looks even better, seems ready for the road

Guitar case is working out perfectly! Folks at Sweetwater very friendly and professional.

If you want a nice case for your beautiful Schecter to live... this is the way to go.

It was exactly what I needed for my Schecter Guitar. The guitar fits perfectly with all the extra compartments needed for my accessories. Thank you!

I got this for my c7 blackjack. It's fits in there well… The outer shell is tough and it has a lock so that your guitar will remain protected long after it's stolen.

The case was everything I was looking for and more. My guitar fits perfectly into it. Shipping was fast as well. I highly recommend Sweetwater to any musicians looking for great gear!

First schecter case for my first schecter guitar. I have too say, so far everything is fantastic. Kind if mad it took me so long to discover this brand as I can't find one thing to gripe about. Shout out to Geoff Allen who was great as always.

perfect for your c1 or similar schecter guitars. schecter cases are sturdy af, and the fit is spot-on. the open compartments are great.

I got this case for my omen6. The case looks great and looks to be very solid. Plenty of room for accessories and the mold is perfect. The guitar has no movement very good fit. Thanks Kevin.

Bought this for my Schecter C-1 FR SLS Elite and it fits like a glove. While not up to shipping as a freight case, for basic gigging and protection, it's great. Guitar snug and protected. Of course, you have to remove the trem bar. My only wish for improvement is that one of the internal storage compartments had a cover that would close. It relies on the main lid closing to "cover" or close the compartment, but that's not quite tight enough to prevent small items like picks and allen wrenches to slip through and rattle about. So I keep this in a zip bag in the compartments. But a great case, especially for the money. And Sweetwater's price beat everyone else. Fast shipping.

Case os set up great, but my research lead me to purchase this thinking it’d be an exact fit for my Reaper 6. Its ALMOST a perfect fit, but the case is a little too deep for it so I use a cloth to lift the guitar body and it works just the same. Great case, would definitely buy again if I bought the correct guitar

My Damien platinum fits perfectly in this case. It's a very nice case with plenty of room for other stuff. Thanks Riley for hooking me up. Got to have the case.

It may be heavy if you're used to carrying a normal gig back on your back, but for the protection it gives your guitar it's totally worth it. Fits basically anything that's C-1 shaped, it's padded, and hell it even looks good.

Sweetwater,

This Shecter SGR-1C Guitar Case is nice, I love it , It is going to help take care of my Cool Shecter Guitar that I bought, It is also cool, That Sustainiac Is really far out, there really are no words to describe how much I really like that Cool Pick up.


Thank you,
Frank Borges

These cases are awesome. And as always, shipping was fast and cheap! I love Sweetwater.

Great fit, perfect actually. Plenty of isolated compartments inside the case for extras. Picks, Power strip, guitar strap, tuners, etc. It's a nice hard case and really protects the guitar. Absolutely recommended if you've made the investment into a new guitar then you have to invest in a nice case.

Mine came blue inside. Its really nice.

Not only does this case fit the 9 string Hellraiser, but it has several storage compartments. One is big enough to fit a standard power strip and there are a few more for straps, tools or smaller effects pedals. Really nice to have a solid case for my C-9.

Fits my c-7 sls elite like a glove!

It's a great case with plenty of room for extras. Very happy with this purchase. Better than I expected.
Christian Baer was great as well. Thanks

I nicked named it U Haul due to the significant amount of storage it has. This is a really nice case to protect a guitar. I have another hard case which is a SKB. Great product but I would choose this over it due to the over protection it provides. Yes, it's bigger but when traveling or just short transport of a guitar why wouldn't you want the extra protection with added storage? No, brainer, it's like showing up with a mini van to a gig vs a box truck and it's custom molded with a Schecter logo!

Perfect case for my Schecter! I buy all my gear from Sweetwater

I ordered this case with my New Schecter Damien Elite-6 and it protects my new guitar. Great looking case also, with a big schecter logo.

GREAT HARDSHELL CASE FOR MY Schecter JLFR!!!...and plenty of room for your strings/picks/strap and heck!!!...I think my pedal fits!!!...WOW NICE JOB SCHECTER!!!

I read the other reviews and was sold on it. Ordered it and my Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 FR fits in the case perfect. Thanks to the other reviewers!

Love the new schecter guitar and the new case!!! Thank you mark magdich

I got this case for my km7 and was shocked at how nice it really is!! And your guitar fits like a glove!!! Locks are sturdy and it feels like a top self case. I highly recommend this for anyone buying a new Schecter guitar with th"c" body style. I have 2 km7s and I'm going to order another one asap! Get this case!

Well-built, sturdy, road-worthy, and plenty of space for all your miscellaneous goodies. Fits my Hellraiser perfectly, and it's fairly lightweight. Don't skimp, get this. It makes you look pro.

My Hellraiser fits perfectly in this case.

I love this case my Hellraiser fits just perfect in it. No more wrapping my guitar up in a blanket when I take it places. I think the Schecter guitar case is just short of bullet proof! So I no longer have to worry about my guitar being damaged in transport. Thank you Schecter for building such an AWESOME guitar case and Thank you Sweetwater for offering it at such a fabulous price.

this is a must have to go along with your schecter

Very well built case

I love the many spaces to store various musical accessories. I haven't found anything that I can't take with me wherever I take my guitar. I love that it has a formed fit for the body ensuring that my guitar won't move or shift when I travel with it.

Fits like a glove! It's a great looking case with plenty of room for picks, tuners, straps, you name it.

I bought this case with my new Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 FR-S. (Mine ended up being blue.) It's a very nice, appropriately dark color. The guitar fits perfectly in the cutout, and there's enough room to tuck in a strap too. High quality case, looks to be very durable.

Excellent for the price. Durable enough to take a beating on the road and then some. Reminds me of that luggage commercial from the 80s where that gorilla jumps up and down on suitcases. I also like the detail of the Schecter Guitar Research that was put onto the cover of the case. Nice touch. The inside is spacious and smooth and almost feels like fur. I wonder why it takes song long to receive a bill if you purchase something on the sweetwater credit card? That aside, awesome case!

The case arrived quickly and met all my expectations...looks good and the guitar fits great. Customer service was outstanding

Not only does this case keep my guitar perfectly snug, it has tons of storage space for my strap, tuner, picks, an all those accessories that you just can't live without. I was a little concerned at first as my guitar is an 8-string (ATX Blackjack), and the case is a little bit tight right around the neck joint. However, in the end, it just goes to keeping the guitar in place in the case and hasn't caused any issues. The hardware is also really nice - polished black metal rather than shiny silver. And of course, the Schecter logo on the outside just seals the deal.

A very solid case and not too heavy. Lining is in great shape and is very cushy. My Hellraiser C-8 is definitely very well protected in this case. Looks great, inside and out, too!

Fits my Schecter Hellraiser perfectly.

Ordered this case. Love it my omen fits like a glove. Came in a rad blue interior and in perfect condition, just 1 little paint chip on 1 latch. But the that's only 1/2 the experience. The other half is the great customer service. Got a call from Ryan a tech from sweet water just to say thanks and ask if I had any questions about my case. And he answered all of them. Great service Ryan! Never have I received a personal phone call from guitar center or musicians friend. Will be making future purchase her for sure. That little touch makes all the difference! Thanks Sweetwater for the bitchen case!

This case is great and offers great protection for my Omen-8. However, I feel that if Schecter had changed the orientation of the guitar cutout a little bit, we could get a larger unified area for bigger accessories. This is a minor nitpick, because otherwise the case is great.

Let it air out for a bit first, since it still has some of the VOCs left over from manufacturing.

this case fits my new to me 2007 Diamond Series Classic like a glove..Thanx Sweetwater and Ken Nace !!!!

Very nice case for the money. Crushed blue velvet and plenty of room for accessories.

Case was exactly as described. Was a perfect fit for my older model C-1! Had to send one back to another company due to it being the wrong one.

Great guitar case! Fits my Schecter Hellraiser DLX and the Damien Elite 8 I bought it for! I was afraid it wouldn't fit my 8 string but it fits pretty well. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was the blue interior. I really wish it was red or black but overall a great hard shell case!

I bought 2 for Schecter Banshee 6 and 7 string guitars. It fits but the body sits too deep and all the weight is on the neck while the guitar is in the case. I put a magazine under the guitar to boost the body so it rests evenly.

This case fits C model guitars perfectly. There is absolutely no movement inside. There are not any other cases available to fit these guitars properly that I know of. The tilted back headstock and strat type body make these guitars a little different. I don't think these cases are at all built for hard handling or touring. But for normal storage, hauling around, etc. they are great. Be careful when getting a case for a guitar that has a tlted back headstock. Most cases will make contact with it at the tip end of the headstock and not support it properly. Most cases that are made for a tilted back headstock are for Les Paul or SG type guitars. This case is specifically for the C model guitars.

This is the case you want if you own a Schecter C-1. It fits perfectly around the guitar, has a nice blue interior and the cool Schecter logo on the outside! My favorite feature is the many compartments which can fit my strap, extra strings, wire cutters, mini flashlight, picks, earplugs, power supply, slide, E-Bow, tuner, etc. Yes, I am able to fit all that stuff in this case.

A good bit more bulky than any guitar case I ever had, but weight is about the same. I certainly feel this guitar is protected better than any of my wood-based cases provides. Fits my new Schecter snugly, just wish it was included with the price of the guitar.

Perfect fix and quick delivery. Couldn't ask for a better case to protect your investment.

This case is very nice! Solid ABS molded plastic. Plenty of storage space. Nice, thick padding inside (mine is blue). My guitar fits nicely (I have the Schecter C1 E/A semi hollowbody.) The case is a little heavy compared to my SKB case for my other electric; however, it is much more sturdy and I trust the case to hold up better than my SKB. I personally don't mind the extra weight for the added sense of security. I agree with the other reviewer that it would be nice to have a lidded storage compartment for small items. It is worth mentioning though that none of my electric guitar cases have lidded storage compartments (only my acoustic cases do.) I have not had any problems with items falling out of the storage compartment, not even a pick and I have no reason to think they would.

It's a case, it's as described and seems to be well built.

The Sun Valley Super Shredder does fit in the case, as it is the one recommended by Schecter for that model, but it's not a 100% perfect fit. There's no slop side to side or up down, but it tends to rock just a little bit near the neck joint. Hard to see what happens when closed, I'm sure it's fine, just slightly annoying. Otherwise great case and solid!

Not an exact fit, but it works great.
I have to put two pieces of cloth underneath the guitar body for now to make it level and fit flush other than that it fits.
Not digging the blue but that's a personal preference. I'll reupholster it soon and fix the foam so it's sits more level.
For now, it works for what I got it for.

It's a really nice case. It has a really nice interior, great design, and very sturdy. The only issue I have is the lock doesn't work. The key fits very loosely and just spins around. I don't need it to lock, but it would be nice to use all the features. Be aware of strong glue smell.

Good case but does not fit the new Schecter Van Nuys traditional model.

Met my needs

Perfect fit for Schecter Damien. I wanted a case that had zero wiggle room when the guitar was in transit, and this does that job well. Plush inside, durable hard shell outside with black hardware.

I bought this for a C-1 Apocalypse. The shape is perfect for this guitar, but body cavity is about half an inch too deep for this particular model.

Unmodified, the guitar sits at an angle that when the lid is closed puts all the weight on the neck leaving a half inch of empty space behind the body of the guitar.

A handtowel behind the guitar will solve this problem. I bought trimmable high density foam for a more permanent solution.

The case appears to be fine for other C-1 guitars, based on the other reviews, but the C-1 Apocalypse will require some additional padding for proper support.

I do like the case overall.

The case looks great and fits my C8 FR like a glove as well as my C7FR. I was worried the C8 extra scale length of 28" would be too long however it fits with room to spare at the headstock tip. Nice plush interior. Only reason I gave a 4 is because of no closing compartment. Still an outstanding case built for all C Models

I recently bought a Hellraiser C-1 FR Extreme and needed a case for it. This is the case Schecter makes for this guitar, so of course, it fit like a glove. And, of course, Sweetwater had the best price on it.

Obviously this isn't a flight case, so you probably wouldn't want to hand it off to the airline baggage cro-mags, but in any other circumstance, this case should hold up very well. The hardware works smoothly and the lid latches positively. Whenever I open the case, there's a little resistance as if a vacuum seal is being broken and it actually makes the strings ring. That's pretty tight!

Although there are no individual lids covering the accessory compartments, because of the case's interior design, everything stays put. And there's a LOT of storage space.

This case has great aesthetic appeal both inside and out. All-in-all, not much more you could expect from this style case, especially at this price.

Fits my C-1 stealth like a glove.

This guitar case is well built and sturdy. My Schecter C1FRS fit in the case very snug. I recommend this case to anyone looking for a good guitar case.

Great case. Looks sweet and C-1 fits perfectly. Space for accessories. I'd give it a 5, but I;m leary of molded cases

It's a molded case what else can you say . It fits the Schecter guitars it is made for snugly and well protected .

This is a very nice case I needed one for my 8 sting schecter but was worried about the fit even though schecter recommends it, they also recommend it for several other guitars so that was my concern. I'm happy to say it fits perfectly and looks really nice with the guitar. my came in dark blue not red as in the picture the newer cases are blue so keep that in mind when ordering, my only gripe would be the accessory areas are open, there is no lid to cover them so if you keep a lot of small parts in your case pick tools whatever they might not stay in place, with the lid closed tight things will probably be fine though.

The case is very nice and high quality. However, it is worth noting that it will not fit a strap comfortably when left attached to the guitar. This is especially true for thicker leather straps. So, you may want to consider a larger case if you like to leave your strap attached.

Mine is a demo model and it came in excellent condition. Nicely crafted case looks great and the guitar fits like a dream. Plenty of storage space but surprisingly no lids on them. When it's closed the top half of the case prevents anything from falling out so it's really not a big deal. My only issue is with the underside of the outside shell. Mine is a little flimsy, maybe just not glued to the inner shell. And that could be because it was a demo model. Overall, very happy with it, price included

I love the case, Fits the instrument so well , Nice quality and convenien internal compartment . The guitar doesn't move around inside the case like so many instrument cases . Really secure . I would have given it 5 stars , I would like to see better latches used that My only sticking point . Other than that great case . Definitely recommended .

I bought this for my Schecter SLS Elite 7 FR that is a neck thru. The body portion of the case is too deep for the guitar to fit properly in the case without undue stress on the neck when the lid is closed. It sits too deeply in the body pocket and would require an extra pad or shim to bring it up to the proper level. Otherwise, the neck is put under pressure by holding the guitar body up to level it with the neck pocket when the case is closed. Buy something else for neck thru guitars.

I purchased this case for my C-1 exotic spalted maple guitar- which I love. However the case isn't an exact fit and the body isn't as deep as the body cavity in the case, which causes the body to sink in the case and angles the neck and headstock up to the ceiling of the case. Additionally, there's no cubby with a top/lid in the case, just open cavities to place stuff. Definitely not my favorite case, but it'll get the job done.

This case will keep my Evil Twin safe, but it could be better. I use 2-1/2-3" wide straps, and if I roll one up and put it in one of the compartments, the top won't close. If they would just leave a cavity on the top side to match the bottom cavity this would be fine. Probably not engineered by a guitar player. I know, I'm being picky but if you're carrying your guitar, chances are you'll want your strap to come along with you. If I had known this I would have got a quality gig bag, all good bags let you leave strap on when traveling. If you're guitar gets thrown in the van, this case is fine, just don't forget to pack your strap somewhere else.

Well, to start, let's just say, if your gonna buy a nice guitar, you'd be an idiot not to protect it with a nice hardshell case. At least it does that and looks pretty. But there is a lot of open area in the case and you can't really put accessories in it that won't have an opportunity to bump into the guitar. None of the compartments are covered. Then again, if I had to choose between the quality of the case or the guitar, I choose the guitar. Just use common sense to keep things that would damage the guitar out of the case and it is fine.

Have an 8 string Omen series and the neck is way too thick. Had read other comments saying it needed the Schecter case because of the headstock angle, except it doesn't fit the base of the neck properly.

Just ok, your better off with a Gator the dutiar it is for is awesome the case is simply ok, not very hardy seems kind cheap, compaired to other brands

Bought this case without reading the reviews about the apocalypse not fitting properly. See attached photos. Read where some are putting towels or a magazine under the body. I am trying my cleaning cloth under the neck instead. Still don't like taking a chance on udo pressure on the neck. Probably will go back to keeping it on the stand and only use the case if I go mobile. Waiting on a response from my advisor before I send it back which is always a pain.

Had to put a towel in it for my guitar (Schecter Mach 7) to fit in properly. I will try to avoid keeping my guitar in this case at all cost. Feels cheap on inside and out. It's a shame it's the fitted case for my guitar.

Ordered this case for my schecter banshee 8 string and it judoesnt fit right the neck and body kinda wobble around
