Normal mid level Gator case, but...
I have many Gator cases and they do the typical journeyman's job, but on this one...the guitar simply doesn't fit.
The guitar is a HB SC-450 plus, the case is a GC-LPS (for Les Paul style single cut guitars), but it doesn't fit. The shaped cutout in the styrofoam interior is too small to accept the guitar, even though the shape is correct. I have seen on You Tube that I can (literally) beat the styrofoam into submission with a hammer, and I guess that's what I'll do, but still...a Gator case for single cut Les Pauls should fit a Harley Benton Les Paul single cut style guitar, right? I've contacted Thomann to see if I should exchange it (no response yet, but I'm sure they will soon...their Customer Service is top notch!), but...to what? If this doesn't fit, then what DOES fit? There should be some sort of fitment chart to avoid this issue, but search though I have I can't find one. In any event, the guitar that I ordered with it is AWESOME, and I sincerely hope this case fitment issue is the very worst problem I have for the rest of this year. Man, that would make this a GREAT year!

I bought this for my PRS SE 245 but it wasn't a perfect fit. The neck joint is too thick and you have to find something to put underneath the body at the bottom of the case in order to level the guitar.
The material is as expected, not very strong but perfect for carrying it around. I personally traveled many times by bus and I had no issues.
The internal material is good enough for the guitar.
I think overall is a very good case for the price.

FOr the price very nice
Cant blame it for the cost. Have sturdier and more massive cases as well but those cost a lot more. Wanted a cheap solutio for the kramer assault 200 plus. fits nice and comfy. locks are fine.

Fint case men det finns bättre
Jag köpte detta case till en av mina Les Pauler. Det var lite billigare än det SKB 56-style jag hade till en av mina andra gitarrer så jag chansade på detta för att spara en slant. Det visade sig var ett fint case med bra passform men så här i efterhand skulle jag ha lagt till pengarna det kosade extra för SKB-caset. Det är framför allt detaljer som gångjärn och lås som gör SKB till det i mina ögon bättre caset. Jag fick även känslan att själva plastskalet var "sprödare" på caset från Gator men det kan vara inbillning.
Sammanfattningsvis är det ett helt OK case men har du några kronor till att spendera så köp ett SKB case i stället!

It simply works
I compared several cases for my Les Pauls, and this one convinced me because its cheap, solid and looks modest. On tour, i dont worry about my guitar anymore, i hope - with certitude - that the Gator ABS Case will save my dear Paula ;-)

Great case
An excellent case for the price. Not flashy, looks sturdy.
The neck is not really maintained flat. Not sure if a con but worth mentioning.

Good quality case
I've owned a few les paul cases, and have found this case to be a decent quality case for a reasonable outlay. Keeps the guitar safe, has some reasonable amount of room for straps etc. I do prefer my skb case though which feels better made but would have no qualms in using this case again.
