Gator Cases Hard-Shell Wood Case for 6 or 12 String Acoustic Dreadnought Guitars (GWE-DREAD 12)

The case in itself is pretty sturdy and good looking.. however the faux leather seem to rip off easily around the edges within hardly a day.. Wonder if it's genuine..

Cumple con mis expectativas. Creo que es una buena relación calidad-precio. He visto mejores fundas (y mucho más caras claro) pero la verdad que esta funciona perfecto para lo que yo requiero. Si eres músico profesional y viajas constantemente o tus instrumentos están expuestos a daños, tal vez deberías considerar invertir un poco más en tu carcasa. Mi guitarra acústica encaja a la medida. En general los materiales del exterior e interior se ven bastante bien. El paquete que me llegó venía mal envuelto y creo que por ello se ha raspado un poco en el traslado. Realmente no me importa pues apenas y se ve. Los seguros de la funda y demás funcionan perfectamente. No tengo queja.

Embora seja um pouco pesado (aproximadamente 4 kgs), não diminui a informação importante: protege seu instrumento da forma correta e acompanha cadeado com chave por segurança extra. Downside: qualquer chave que for do mesmo case vai abrir esse cadeado (tenho 2 parecidos).

Der Koffer scheint wie für meine Ashton 12-String gemacht. Sehr sauberer Sitz. Sehr stabil. Vier Klappverschlüsse. Der Koffer ist relativ flach. Innenhöhe: 11,5 cm (Case) + 3 cm (Deckel). ("relativ" bedeutet dabei: Ein anderer Koffer, den ich für eine andere 12-String nutze, hat 13 cm + 2,5 cm.) Dabei ist auch zu beachten, dass im Bereich des Gitarrenbodys eine Handbreit vor dem Hals noch eine zusätzliche ca. 1 cm starke Polsterung die Höhe nochmals verringer; für meine Ashton ideal, da der Gitarrenbody zum Hals hin etwas an Höhe verliert, aber für meine andere 12-String, die eine durchgehend gleichbleibende, auch insgesamt größere Höhe hat, nicht so ganz ideal. Durch die schmale Halsform des Koffers fällt das Innenfach in dem Bereich ebenfalls schmal aus, so dass ein Saitensatz in den marktüblichen Verpackungen nicht flach hineingelegt werden kann, sondern nur schräg/verkantet. Man verschenkt also Platz. (Bei meinem anderen Koffer, der nicht die optisch schöne, aber unpraktische Halsverjüngung zwischen Kopf und Body hat, ist das nicht so; da liegen alle Saitensätze flach.) Die Verklebung des Außenmaterials ist an den Kanten nicht so ganz 100%-ig. Innenlänge gemessen: 111 cm. Innenbreite 42 / 32 cm. Wie gesagt: Für mich bzw. meine Ashton ist der Koffer von der Passform ideal. Wegen des schmalen Innenfachs (schmale Halsform) und der Verklebung würde ich einen halben Stern abziehen, wenn das ginge. So aber bleibt es bei wohlwollenden 5 Sternen.

Cannot fault this product, it is heavy and strongly built and it feels like my guitar is being well protected. It is large enough to cater for most Dreadnoughts as well as the body of the guitar has plenty room without sliding around inside. It has a small compartment for holding little things like your guitar tuner or spare strings under the neck which is handy and has enough room for my music material to fit underneath the body of the guitar when the case is closed. I mainly travel with it in my car so it maybe a bit heavy for even small journeys unless you have your own transport. I also like the fact that it has metal studs on the bottom so that it can sit upright on its own which makes it easier to store in any type of room without having to lie it down or lean it against something heavy. Looks good as well in case anyone is interested.

I received this about six weeks ago and it's been fine. It's sturdy and attractively built. It's a bit heavy, but it's made of wood and you can expect that. When the case arrived, I understood immediately why some reviewers complained about damage to their cases. It was packed in a large rectangular box with no cushioning in it whatsoever. During shipping, the case would just have bounced around the shipping box. I was lucky there was no damage. The case was a little difficult to open it the first time because one of the latches was stuck. A quick twist with a screwdriver took care of the problem and it's worked perfectly since. The inside of the case is very nice. It's well padded and fits my 12-string guitar perfectly. Some reviewers have complained that their case didn't match the advertised measurements, but I found my case to be correctly sized. The storage compartment is large and can hold what I need it to hold. Overall, I'm happy with the case and found it to be a good value for the money.
