  • Quality Hardshell Case from Gator
Style: Triple O Acoustic Pattern Name: Guitar
I needed a case for my new Sigma acoustic guitar, 000/OM body size. Another Sigma owner here on the Amazon Q & A said this Gator case (model GWE-000AC Hard-Shell Wood Case for Martin Acoustic Guitars Black) fit his Sigma perfectly. I took a chance and am very pleased at the fit and condition of the brand new case. Very plush and nicely padded. Not a scratch on it. Gator is a very reputable brand and I have owned their cases in the past. My only issues are that it's gone up quite a bit in price and as such it's not as much of a value as it once was. The case is lighter weight than other hard cases I've owned; while it seems less durable and robust that a Martin, Taylor or TKL case, some people might like to save on weight and give up a little strength. My other issue with the case is the latches feel kind of cheap and lightweight and I wonder about longer term opening and closing. I'm glad I'm only using this case to store my guitar in the closet. Overall, I recommend this case and it is a quality product as long as you use it for its intended purpose (i.e., not a flight case). ... show more

  • Sturdy, beautiful case
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
I love my Gator guitar case. It is extremely sturdy, easy to open and close, and has a nice soft lining that does not shed. I love the little gear box inside too. I use this case for my full-size acoustic guitar. And it fits perfectly. Very nice case!

  • Guitar case
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
This case fits my martin guitar perfect. It's a little heavy but well made. The latches are solid. One minor detail They should have installed 4 latches instead of 5. You can store a lot of items in the storage area.

Very nice case, with ample room for all of the ‘extras’ (tuner, strings, picks, capo, tools to change strings, etc).

  • Offers great protection
Style: 6/12 String Dreadnought Pattern Name: Guitar
Bought this for my beloved acoustic guitar. Protecting it from getting banged up is a priority. Very solidly built and plush inside. Reminiscent of the interior of a 1979 conversion van.
