Great fit for many of my guitars
This is great case that actually fits a larger variety of my guitars than I expected. Here is a list of what fits from my personal collection: LyxPro 39" Electric Guitar TL Series Monoprice Indio Series 6 String Basswood Electric Guitar Ambidextrous Bonde (610261) GEAR IT GST-100 Mission Series 39 inch Full-Size Donner 39 inch Jazz Electric Guitar TL Thinline Starburst (DJC-100S) Donner Electric Guitar 39 inch DTC-100 Black Solid Body TC Ibanez GRG 7 String Solid-Body Right Metallic Light Blue, Full (GRG7221MMLB) Donner DST-152R Electric Guitar 39" Donner DST-200 Electric Guitar 39" All fit pretty nicely. The Thinline and the Ibanez Gio were a long as you could fit and a little snug at the top and bottom edge, but safely fit. Some you kind of wiggle to get the strap buttons to fit. The cushioning accomodates them and will conform over time. The case takes 4 AAA batteries and a smaller phillips to install. This is better lighter case than most. It isn't TSA lock equipped. So I would not recommend taking it on a commercial airplane. General Aviation should be fine. Bus or school bus. I would recommend it for daily use and abuse. Do not submerge it in water, but it should be rain resistant. Not something for a world tour. Get ATA Flight Case instead for that. Great for a weekend warrior wedding gig, school band, taking to school to practice after school. If you drop it it will probably crack the outter shell on concrete or asphalt. But it should keep you guitar safe. This isn't military grade, but it is a lot better than a gig bag. If you want military grade case, get a Pelican case. This is lighter and better made than a cheap $99 dollar case. The hardware seems adequate and not flimsy. It reminds me of the typical cases that they had for band instruments when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. If you have passed the 12 month mark and still play your guitar daily, this would be a good fit for a guitar worth less than $1000. This costs about the same or less than most of my guitars. But it will work for the majority of them. I only take then out of the house one or two at a time so I don't need one for each. Just one for each style. This arrived wrapped in a manufacturer plastic bag, packaged inside a larger Amazon box with packing paper. My only complaint if the label on the case for name, address, telephone number was slightly askew and not centered in the indentation where it belongs. Thakfully, I'm not Mr. Monk.

Good case for basses
Great quality case. Had to order a replacement because of rough shipping, but came quick. Fits my Rick bass.

Fits Strat Size guitars and PRS - Lightweight
This is a great hard plastic case. Fits many standard Stratocaster sized guitars snugly when the case is closed. The Ibanez S-Series thinner guitar body does move around in the case when shaken but would be fine for transporting to gigs in your own care. PRS is a little snug across the widest part of the body but does fit. Les Paul goes in snugly but I cannot close and latch the lid, the Les Paul body is too thick but this case was not designed for that model of guitar. The latches are good enough, not the highest quality hardware, but matches the strength of the plastic and keeps the weight down. This is good value at less than $90 in 2025. Here are some pictures of different guitar models with the lid open. Note as with most cases, you will need to remove your tremolo bar when closing the lid.

Great protection for most guitars, for the money.
I bought this case for my brand new Fender Telecaster because the price lured me away from a hard shell Fender case. I haven't taken it on any long journeys, but for lugging it around town and in the car, it gets the job done. Here are a few things I like/ dislike about the case I received: Pros- -The case will fit your guitar very snugly. My Telecaster fits firmly in place, the headstock brushes up against the top of the case and the body brushes up against the bottom. There is also little wiggle room horizontally if you plan on standing the case up. The plush is surprisingly soft for the price. -It's stackable. If you own multiple guitars and are tight on space, the groove on the bottom of the case fits inside the one on the top. -There is plenty of space inside the case. I've got a strap, a set of spare strings, a cable, earplugs, picks, a tuner, etc. all comfortably fit in the two compartments. There's also room by the headstock if you need extra space. -It's tough enough to get you most places. I wouldn't necessarily recommend stowing it on a plane or in a cargo bay, but under your watch, and with care, this case offers protection as well as any other one does on the road. Cons- -Craftsmanship is a bit of an issue with the case, or at least the one I received. The outside of the case feels a bit cheaply made. Whenever I close it, I have to pull (with some force) on the lid to make sure it aligns properly with the bottom. Otherwise it jams up when it latches. Not a huge complaint, as it's pretty easy to live with, but it's worthy of knocking a star off. -Not as much body contour and neck support as you would get with a brand name case. My Fender hard shell case, for example, is softer plush and carved exactly to fit my Fender P Bass. Since this case is half the cost of brand name cases, however, and doesn't advertise to fit any guitar specifically, it doesn't have to. -Doesn't fit all electric guitars. If you have a guitar with a very wide body, for example, my friend's Gretsch hollow body is too wide for this case. Be careful and measure your guitar or try one out before you spend the money. In all, this is a cheap case that is very good value for money. It's a little short, and fits most electric guitars snugly. Although there are some minor issues with quality, I know that my Telecaster is well protected by this case and I trust it enough to carry around and haul in the car.

Great case, a little thicker than my fender wood/leather case but nonetheless a sturdy and durable case. I would recommend this case. Fits my PRS SE 24

It says it is extra long case but in reality it is only a very small amount longer than a standard case. Wasn't any good for the bass I ordered it for but has been used to replace a very old case for a standard electric.

I actually own 3 of these. Holds a strat or tele guitar really nice. It's not too heavy and feels sturdy. I probably wouldn't trust it on a flight but looks fine for everyday use.

I think it is original. It is made in CHINA, however it seems it is LEGIT product.LED lights are fine, noting special, it will protect your precious instrument for sure.

Doesn't fit a Les Paul Epiphone guitar without a few mods, I had to squash the sides a little to fit the body which makes me ask if it is authentic, as I have another Gator case that fits a Strat no problem
