Fashionable, but not good for your instrument
I bought this case online because I liked its layout, the way it looked and because most of the reviews were good. I loved it when I first got it. The distressed leather finish looks awesome, a Strat or a Tele fit well inside, and there's lots of room for accessories, which was important for me.
However, after using it once or twice, I noticed a few problems. The first problem is that the hardware is put together badly, or just low quality to begin with. The locks or whatever they're called don't lock very tightly, they're loose even when they're locked, and will unlock very easily if you even touch one by accident. The second problem is that the U-shaped indentation for the guitar neck is lined with soft foam which will deform after only one use. As soon as you pick up the case to carry it, the guitar will naturally pull down because of gravity, the neck will deform and straighten the right part of the U-indentation, and the guitar will no longer sit properly inside the case. Every time I open the case to take my guitar out, I find it sitting angled and with the neck going upwards over the accessory compartment, which is harmful.
I wish I hadn't bought this case. The cool looks are there to lure you in, but the main features of a guitar case are lacking. And once you figure out that the case isn't really good, you can no longer return it.

Good quality, delicate wrap.
A good quality case with sturdy hardware. The gator material on the outside seems kinda delicate and prone to scuffing and scratching. Not a deal breaker, but worth noting if you plan to travel with it

It gives my guitar a nice home.
I bought this case for my Harley Benton Fusion-III HH EB PSP and it fits just fine. I would say the Gator deluxe case is for those that need to keep their guitar safe. Tho I would not recommend using this case for touring.
In conclusion, I found zero cosmetic issues with the case and it keeps my guitars organized in my closet and safe from the elements at a great price. Cheers!

Simply a jewel
Elegant, metal latches work very well. I love the external coating, soft to the touch.
PRO: not so heavy as I expected. I guess 80% of electric guitars will fit in this case.
CONS: None. The handle is asymmetric, therefore depends by from which part you are carrying on the front, you might feel unbalanced.

A nice case with a soft padding inside. There is an additional pocket inside, as well as a lock on the lid.
Of the minuses, I can only note that the lining under the neck inside the case is made of soft material that has bent after a couple of trips.
Otherwise, I liked the case

Beautiful, classy and secure!
I bought this case for my tele and I could not be more satisfied!
This case is easy to carry and the instrument fits perfectly inside. Not to mention that it is gorgeous, the touch and the looks of it just draw the eye of everybody while I am carrying it.
The most important thing is that it feels secure and solid. There is also some storing place inside the case for your cables, picks etc that should be enough for a modern guitarist.
I cannot find any negative points to it, I am in love with this case! It combines security with good looks and a vintage feel.

Dope stuff
What a looker. Yum.
It is not very light though. With a Jazzmaster inside, it's a workout to go strolling. But it looks amazing. Just beautiful, vintage, and at a great price.
