I needed a hard case for my Generic Telecaster .......and this case was perfect for fit and has very adequate protection inside. The fit was perfect for my Tele .....it just laid in place perfectly as if this case was (custom) made for it.
The handle on this case is off-set for perfect balance. It's to one side by ⅓ or so away from the center of the case.
Given a solid body Telecaster is heavier all towards the main body, I was delighted to find that my guitar in this case allowed for a perfect balance when using the handle. The case was dead level in hand when carrying it.
The exterior of this case is solid and protective. My take is for those who might treat the case w/ guitar in it roughly when loading/unloading and/or during travel, the case is going to hold up fine and more importantly, protect what is in it!
5 Stars all around! Another Gator product for me that is a keeper!
Very pleased with this case all around!
The extreme version has worked for me with:
Schecter e1
Epiphone explorer
LTD EX-7 Baritone
I would assume this would work for a Snakebyte, as well.
Has not worked for me with:
ESP LTD Arrow
Schecter Abbath (V style)
Solid case, not too heavy - wouldn't trust it with the luggage crews for a flight, but that isn't what this is for. Well padded, plush interior, looks great, fit my Donner DST-152 which I bought it for perfectly and has a plenty spacious accessories compartment.
Great bang for the buck, can't believe how much cheaper it is to get a good wood hard shell case compared to 20 years ago when this would have been (not even adjusting for inflation) $300 easily.
Something you may overlook but will appreciate is the rounded corners that others don't offer in this price range. What else to say? It's a good, nice looking wood hard shell case on a budget, it does what it says and what you intend it to do. Oh, and the hardware has a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, so they stand behind the product.

The case is solid. The locks are great and very secure. Inside - the lining is very plush and there is a small space to tuck small things away for ease when carrying.
One thing I noticed - the space inside the case is slightly more than needed. So we laid a small rolled up towel at the bottom and that adequately addressed the issue.
Case exterior is hard and tough. Exactly what I was looking for. I would buy this again.

1 stella al vettore (esterno ad Amazon) per il pessimo trasporto, penso che l’ultimo miglio abbiano preso a calci il pacco.
