Gator GC-ELECTRIC-LED Deluxe Molded Case

Robust case. New Rapier 33 electric guitar fits nicely.

The shell on this case was shattered on delivery, despite copious protection with bubble-wrap. I have seen many similar reviews of other Gator cases on Amazon.com with the same ASB shell that have the same issue, often when delivered straight from the supplier in cardboard packaging. This will not stand up to the rigours of travel, let alone touring. The soft-shell cases with dense foam actually look a better bet-one guy witnessed his precious guitar inside such a case fall from the loading conveyor of a plane, yet both case and guitar were unmarked. And I bought one!

This is great case that actually fits a larger variety of my guitars than I expected. Here is a list of what fits from my personal collection: LyxPro 39" Electric Guitar TL Series Monoprice Indio Series 6 String Basswood Electric Guitar Ambidextrous Bonde (610261) GEAR IT GST-100 Mission Series 39 inch Full-Size Donner 39 inch Jazz Electric Guitar TL Thinline Starburst (DJC-100S) Donner Electric Guitar 39 inch DTC-100 Black Solid Body TC Ibanez GRG 7 String Solid-Body Right Metallic Light Blue, Full (GRG7221MMLB) Donner DST-152R Electric Guitar 39" Donner DST-200 Electric Guitar 39" All fit pretty nicely. The Thinline and the Ibanez Gio were a long as you could fit and a little snug at the top and bottom edge, but safely fit. Some you kind of wiggle to get the strap buttons to fit. The cushioning accomodates them and will conform over time. The case takes 4 AAA batteries and a smaller phillips to install. This is better lighter case than most. It isn't TSA lock equipped. So I would not recommend taking it on a commercial airplane. General Aviation should be fine. Bus or school bus. I would recommend it for daily use and abuse. Do not submerge it in water, but it should be rain resistant. Not something for a world tour. Get ATA Flight Case instead for that. Great for a weekend warrior wedding gig, school band, taking to school to practice after school. If you drop it it will probably crack the outter shell on concrete or asphalt. But it should keep you guitar safe. This isn't military grade, but it is a lot better than a gig bag. If you want military grade case, get a Pelican case. This is lighter and better made than a cheap $99 dollar case. The hardware seems adequate and not flimsy. It reminds me of the typical cases that they had for band instruments when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. If you have passed the 12 month mark and still play your guitar daily, this would be a good fit for a guitar worth less than $1000. This costs about the same or less than most of my guitars. But it will work for the majority of them. I only take then out of the house one or two at a time so I don't need one for each. Just one for each style. This arrived wrapped in a manufacturer plastic bag, packaged inside a larger Amazon box with packing paper. My only complaint if the label on the case for name, address, telephone number was slightly askew and not centered in the indentation where it belongs. Thakfully, I'm not Mr. Monk.

I think it is original. It is made in CHINA, however it seems it is LEGIT product.LED lights are fine, noting special, it will protect your precious instrument for sure.

It's a great case for the money. It won't be mistaken for a top-quality road case, but for safe guitar storage and basic light travel it's much better than a gig bag. The LED lights are a nice touch, though replacing the batteries shouldn't require removing screws and taking the whole light unit off. However I don't expect to have to change batteries often so I can live with that. All in all a great value. I'd buy again.

Outstanding guitar case! The Gator GC-ELECTRIC-LED is sturdy, secure, and fits my Strat perfectly. The internal LED lighting is a great touch—very convenient and looks amazing. Fast shipping and excellent packaging. Highly recommend!

Great for the $$!
