This case doesn't exactly fit all strat body
Another disappointment for the SKB case, this case doesn't exactly fit all strat body. I tried three of my strat guitars. Only two of them fit right through the foam molding.
This issue is the design of the molding doesn't leave extra enough room for a potential slightly size differential between each strat body, especially around the neck pocket area. One of my strat suffer from this design defect, it results my strat cannot completely lay flat, which means there is an obvious gap between the foam itself and the back of the neck.
Even my other two strat suffer the similar issues, but with a much less gap in between, the cheapest solution i did is to use bubble foam to fill in the gap, so the neck itself will not bend in a backbow shape when the case is completely closed.
In conclusion, I don't expect a silly flaw from a high end case again. I think if the manufacturer is willing to readjust and make more room for the foam molding, this can be easily solved. I suggest buyers should really consider this potential before pulling the trigger.
