Good Enough
Case bought for my first Gretsch guitar. Slightly miffed that none of the hard cases I already owned were a good fit, but such is life.
Case seems sturdy, though not sturdy enough that I’d trust it in the cargo hold of an aircraft.
It’s definitely a case for sticking on the back seat of a car, or for hand carrying on a shortish journey.
I’m not the biggest fan of gold hardware; plus, it can rub off and look a bit tacky. I’ve not had the case long enough to know if that’s an issue here. Aesthetically it looks fine, with a big gold ‘Gretsch’ emblazoned on the lid.
It also looks small when compared to other rectangular hard cases I own. It’s also a fair bit lighter, and easier to cart around.
I’m sure there are better made, and less expensive cases around, but the odd-ish dimensions of my new Gretsch meant I was unwilling to buy a generic case, on the off chance that it was a poor fit.
That said, I don’t regret buying it.
Thomann’s customer service was excellent throughout, There was a few weeks wait for the case to be restocked, but they kept me updated on the likely schedule, and explained the delivery / tracking info very well.
Will be buying from Thomann again.

Expensive but good
Nice solid case for my g5220 Electromatic Jet. Excellent quality, no complaints there. the guitar is held firmly and safely in place. Shame that the Electromatic Jet is not a "standard size", because no other good quality well fitting cases seem to exist in the way they do for Les Pauls or strats.

Nice case for Gretsch Double Jet
Bought this case with the Gretsch G5441T from Thomann.
The case looks fantastic. The guitar fits great, even with the Bigsby (folded back) and I love the fact that there is no sliding or movement of the guitar while being carried.
There is a good sized storage compartment and the grey interior linning looks and feels great.
My only minor gripe is that the latches feel a little bit cheap and they have no built in locking function. There is an option on one of them to add a small padlock, but this too looks quite flimsy.
Overall though I am quite happy with this purchase and hope that it stands the test of time.

Great looking, good quality case at a nice price
I bought this to go with my Gretsch Electromatic, as part of a Thomann bundle deal. I wasn't expecting to get a top quality case for the money, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is an authentic Gretsch case with great looking gold hardware. Nicely padded, perfect fit for the guitar (of course) - even the tremelo sits nicely without pressure being applied.
Large internal compartment for strings, picks, capo etc, and sufficient space under the neck for a strap. I expect to get years of use out of this case.

Fancy case for fancy Gretsch guitars
It seems really nice and solid. The fur is smooth and has a specific good smell.
After 1 year of normal use the copper locks totally faded.
