Review: Very nice but not the size listed in the description (but size is deceptive) - Update: I was about to return my Gator case, sadly because except for size it was exactly what I wanted. I thought maybe I could crush the foam at each end of the case enough to make it fit my guitar. Put the guitar in the case to see how much to squish and the guitar fell right into place. What happened? I put the headstock in first this time. The foam is hollowed out more at that end near the the bottom of the case (at least I think that's what's going on). If I put the bottom neck strap pin in first, in the space hollowed out for it, the headstock does not fit at the other end. Needs another inch or so before it will go in. If I put the headstock end in first, everything lines up better and I have a VERY snug fit. So I'm increasing my stars from 2 to 5 (I'm reviewing the case, NOT the packaging). No longer returning, happy again. Gator also responded to my comment, very important to see that they care. So, your mileage may vary, but this case works for me. Original review: Description says it holds a guitar up to 39.5" long, with body length up to 19". My guitar is that size (I measured before buying). Body length dimension is about 1/2" too short and overall length is an inch too short. My guitar doesn't fit even though it matches the the size listed. Guitar is a Schecter Omen 6 extreme. Very disappointed the description is so misleading (or they can't control their sizes, or someone decided to cut costs). Now I need to go through the hassle of returning it and picking out a different case. One reason I chose this case was because dimensions were given in the description. I won't trust Gator again (same dimensions are listed on other sites, so it's not an desertcart fault). Case seemed to be made well and was just what I wanted: lightweight and sturdy with some storage space inside for pedals, tuner, slides, picks, recorder, etc., and a pocket outside for music books and note sheets. Looks great also. If you have a smaller guitar this might be a perfect choice. Packaging was bad. It was shipped in a very large box and the tape was not holding the flaps shut by the time it arrived. Case could have easily fallen out of box and it was so loose that case was scuffed up from rubbing against the cardboard box. Why they bothered to put a single piece of crumpled paper in the box I'll never know; maybe there was more that fell out.
Review: Great built and great protection - It is the second lightweight case I got from gator. The first one was for an acoustic guitar. Both case were bought in order to travel on train and plane with my guitars (overhead bin as carryon). They both arrived safe and sound after many long flights. The built of both case is really good, very strong and good quality. Both the acoustic and less Paul guitar fits perfectly. If you are looking for a good protection case for travelling or to secure your guitar it is perfect. The only cons I can find is for daily use as the backpack straps that are very uncomfortable and looks a bit weak on the hooks. Also it is not possible to open the cover fully and it does not stay in place when it is opened.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit the fender vintage modified jaguar special short scale?**
A: I don't think it will...headstock will not reach up to the upper cut out "section" for the standard 34" scale headstock....in other words, the short scale headstock would lay right where the C- shaped neck cut out for the 34" is.....hope this makes sense....

**Q: Will this case (because it is foam) fold up for storage? Primarily using to transport daughter' electric guitar to and from college.**
A: No it will not fold. It is solid formed foam like a hardshell case but very lightweight.

**Q: Works for a Flying V?**
A: I don't think it would be wide enough

**Q: what's the compartment size?**
A: Interior Dimensions    Body Length: 19.00 "    Body Height: 3.38 "    Lower Bout Width: 12.75 "    Middle Bout Width: 12.75 "    Upper Bout Width: 12.75 "    Overall Length: 39.50 "
