Quite good for the price
Anonymous 29.07.2015
I've had 2 of these cases for around 3 years now. I've had them in and out of cars/ vans/ houses/ venues over 500 times and theyre still working.
The latches are getting a bit shook but thats to be expected with all the use they
get.
Inside:
Inside, the cases fit my strats/tele quite well, theres only a tiny bit of movement around the neck slot, nothing I'm worried about.
Shipping:
I've had these cases shipped by courier a few times and they've come back in the same condition they went out in.
The lock works well too, I feel safe enough locking the guitars in there overnight in a van.
I'm not sure if I would ship this in the cargo hold of a flight as I don't think it would stand up to baggage handlers.
Overall:
Overall, for the price I'm very happy, when my cases finally break I'll be ordering more of these.

Comfy Case
Dev W. 25.12.2013
This is a great case for the price. I bought this case for my baritone 7 string electric guitar and my long scale bass. The instruments fit perfectly in the case. The inner plush lining and protective foam makes my guitars really comfortable and safe.

It has an accessory compartment which is really useful to keep your guitar accessories such as picks, tuner, guitar cables, etc. One feature that I like is the key lock which is vital to secure my guitars from curious people at a show.

Until now the case has been holding quite well, except for some cracks on the outer plastic body which has been due to heavy gigging.

You can also modify the inner shape of the case if your guitar can't fit well. This has been the case for my Ibanez BTB bass guitar which has a long upper horn. This can easily be done with a cutter.

An awesome product for the price, especially for gigging musicians. However, is you're thinking to travel with your guitar I'll recommend an aluminum case.

Fits all large axes.
Arash T. 22.01.2014
This case is ideal for long, 26 and 26.5 scale or even longer I suppose. I've got it for about 2 months now and I'm really happy with it. I was worried about finding a case that could protect my axe and fitted the 26.5 large scale. I got this finally and I'm not disappointed 'cause It's very light, well-padded quality which is created from EPS foam and it's very soft. The Guitar stays very tight and feels comfortable in moving. It looks pretty durable, has accessory space for storage, the plated lockable latches work great. All in all, it's best choice for those who need an extra long case with a very good quality.

Fits a Strat perfectly with extra neck length
veggieman 18.08.2020
I have a Peavey neck on my Squier strat so the extra length is good. The body fit is perfect.

I've also used it with these extra-length guitars:
PRS SE 277 Baritone - pretty good fit but not tight.
Ibanez Studio series (ST-50 ST-100 ST-200 etc) - good snug fit.
Ibanez SRC6 baritone - some minor adjustment of the foam partition is required and it's wider than you'd really like, but this is one of the best options for the SRC6.

Like all ABS cases, it's light weight and the aluminum frame can bend if you drop it, but it will protect the guitar inside. I would fly with it occasionally, but if you're touring there are probably better choices.

IT'S OKAY.
G.Rahul 24.03.2020
YOOOO.
I contacted thomann guitar depratment to check the case if it fits or not for my IBANEZ RGIXL7 BLACK FLAT,which is baritone which had scale length of 686mm/27". I was unsure at 1st shall i buy it or no.
THOMANN checked as i requested to them then they sent mail,it fits .
I bought.....ONLY negative is it's built construction is more plastic.Let see the test of time...
If thomann cases would have built cases for baritones i would have definately gone for that.
Thanks for service guys!!!!

Very versatile
Kelvin F. 25.12.2014
as more and more 7/8/9 string guitars come on stream these cases are an excellent method of protecting your extra strings!, very durable and light so its not going to break your back carrying around those heavy beasts. the interior is well fitted with plush material to keep the scratches at bay

Good value
Jackfisher 25.05.2020
Bought it for my Ibanez RG7620, it wouldn't fit in a standard sized case otherwise.

As with all Gator cases, this one is well built, well finished and feels like it will last a lifetime if appropriate care is taken.
It's solid, not too heavy, the plastic is thick enough, although I don't think I would fly with it as the plastic won't hold up against airport staff.
It fits my 7 string perfectly and it only cost 70€ before tax, I call this an absolute win.
It's actually pretty close in quality to an Ibanez Prestige case.
Just buy one.
