Gator Cases Molded Flight Case For Acoustic Dreadnought Guitars With TSA Approved Locking Latches, (GTSA-GTRDREAD)

I'm very satisfied with this case. Mine is a standard dreadnought. It's VERY tight and I was a little apprehensive about that at first but the padding is going to soften up just a tiny bit over time, so I expect it will be nice and snug for years to come. The pocket is fine, pretty stand room-wise. The latch on the bottom takes a little more effort to clamp shut, makes me a little nervous, but again over time this should prove to be perfect. I'm very happy with the overall fit and finish, everything aligns perfectly. I do wish the strap would stay out of the way better when closing, but that is my only complaint. I do actually feel confident enough to fly with this a few times if necessary, but not often. (It's not a Crossrock, but it's going to be the next closest thing without spending over $500.) I would dare say it is near-waterproof and that is really saying something. Will it float? Should it be submerged? No probably not. I ended up getting all my gear packed up at a gig before it all got drenched. No worries with the guitar, it stayed dry as a bone. I definitely would recommend this and may purchase another one for another guitar.

Hello, friends! I bought a GTSA-GTRDREAD guitar case for a Yamaha FGX830C acoustic guitar. The case fits this guitar very well. The guitar fits tightly in the case and does not dangle during transportation. The only thing I would like to say is that at the widest point of the body the guitar fits very tightly, right next to the case, but I think that over time the inner lining of the case will shrink and the guitar will fit more freely in the case. Considering that all Yamaha FG/FGX series guitars have the same dimensions, then I think that the case will fit very well for the FG/FGX series. Before purchasing, measure the exact dimensions of the guitar; detailed internal and external dimensions of the guitar case are available on the gatorco website. I won’t post photos of the case; there are a lot of photos on the Internet and on the gatorco website. The guitar case in person fully matches the photos on the website. The guitar case is made of high quality and protects the guitar well during transportation. If you need to transport a musical instrument, then this case will cope with this task very well. The only negative I would like to mention is the weight of the case with the guitar inside. The case, along with the musical instruments inside, is quite heavy (about 7-8 kilograms) and this can cause significant difficulties when carrying.

Bought for Yamaha FG820 — fits tight (I think it supposed to be this way, although at first seemed like it may be too narrow). Despite the TSA approved lock, they didn’t have a key for it at airport security, so keep the key close if you’re going to bring it to the gate. Survived a 14 hr flight, connection (baggage was transferred through, I didn’t receive it during layover), and another short flight. Some scratching on the surface but guitar made it to the destination fine.

Nice and sturdy case. With proper care it should last a long time.

I’m moving across state in a week and decided I need to check in my guitar. I needed a hard case stat and this came within 2 days. Super happy it arrived quick. Looks very sturdy, has a lock and my plans are to check this in. We will see if it holds up. Also since I am not a serious guitar player, I had a very difficult time picking a hard case. I own the big baby Taylor guitar. I could not find anywhere which guitar case would fit best. Was concerned it would be too big and loose, do not want my guitar to flop around inside the case. This seems to fit well, see picture. Will update to see how well it holds up on my overseas flight. So far very happy with my purchase.

4 Stars. Im stretching for this one. With a company called Gator, your expecting a tough, hard to beat anywhere product. There is a certain level you have to live up to. Lets dive into the pro's and cons. Pro's: 1) This seems to be well built. Maybe not pelican case, drop from a plane, but it certainly looks tough. Ill update after my flight. 2) Compact. It fits my Taylor like a glove, with no addded space, and is not oversized at all. Makes for easier travel. 3) TSA approved lock, with very little security. Fits right in with regulation substandard security that is the American way. We love it, that way the case and guitar doesnt get destroyed by a disgruntled TSA agent that wasnt paid. Con's: 1) Remember the expectations that I talked about for a company with the name Gator? Well this baby better have alligator skin, or be colored Orange and Blue. It is not!!! Not only is it not orange and blue, but its black and red. This leads me to believe that it may not live up to the expectations of a Gator. Summary: I will update as time passes, but for now, this case did not meet my initial expectations. I reaching and giving them the benefit of doubt, hoping it protects my guitar and the red fades to orange.

Very nice case, unfortunately I didn't double check the size of my guitar, so it didn't fit.

If it helps anyone, this case doesn’t fit the Yamaha FGX800C dreadnought body. I measured my guitar very carefully and, based on the interior dimensions on the product page, it should have fit. However, after forcing my guitar about halfway in - and I mean forcing, it was *extremely* tight - and seeing the sides of the case bulging significantly outward, I stopped trying, so as to prevent damage to the guitar. The case is slightly too narrow at the lower bout. Besides that, the case seems well-made (though it arrived with a good ding in the top, which I was ready to overlook) and it’s lightweight. The latches could maybe be a bit more solid (they feel sort of snap-able) but that’s just an untested initial impression. Hope this helps.

Leider war für mich nicht ersichtlich, dass dieses case nur für dreadnought aber nicht für 12 string war. Das case ist hervorragend (habe eins für ovation), die Beschreibung dürfte verbessert werden.

Received my Gator guitar case today in perfect condition. It fits my acoustic like a glove and feels extremely durable. The latches are solid, the interior padding is soft and protective, and it feels like it will last for years. Definitely worth the investment!

I checked in an acoustic guitar for international flight in cargo hold of airplane (Japan - Europe). The case containing the acoustic guitar arrived unharmed at destination. I cannot imagine any scenario (excluding a hypothetical air crash).

Es un producto de muy buena calidad. Me hubiera gustado que trajera una cinta para anclar el mástil al estuche. Le quedó un poquito suelta a mi guitarra (Fender FA-1250S) pero es algo que únicamente me preocuparía al viajar en avión, aunque lo solucionaría poniéndole uno o dos trapitos para que no hiciera juego. Para uso cotidiano no es tanto movimiento. El estuche es algo grande y bultoso pero vale mucho la pena por la protección que le brinda a la guitarra. Me gustan los broches que tiene, se le puede poner llave (incluída) y trae un compartimiento suficientemente grande para capotraste y alguna que otra cosa.

Awesome Case! The case looks durable with plenty of padding on the inside.Its got a really big storage compartment for strings, picks, cloths etc.I have a Yamaha FG 820 and wasn’t sure if it would fit inside the case.At first it looked like it wouldn’t as it is a really tight fit, which is actually good as I won’t have to worry about my guitar sliding around inside the case.Turned out it fits perfectly!
