Solid case BUT for that price ...
Case is very solid and it's a great alternative for big-square bricks like cases. You can save some space in your touring vehicle although it could be a little bit smaller in some places (It fits well with my epi flying V and there is some space left for guitars like Dean's V I suppose).
There are 2 big cons that I can not ignore in this review (considering its price).
- The top lid closes involuntarily no matter what. To take out your guitar safely you need to hold top lid because it's always falling (and it may scratch your guitar).
- It's bad balanced. Handle is in wrong place. When you are carrying your precious piece of wood it's always lean to front. Forget about going upstairs without supporting upper part of case or uncomfortably tighten up your muscles you event don't know about in your wristle.
- And 1 more little cons - after 3 years of active usage 2 out of 5 locks are feel like "used" - I mean when I lock the case sometimes I need to place it manually (pressing down from above when nothing is blocking it underneath) after it "clicks"
Pros are of course:
- Internal and external material is very solid and securitive.
BUT... for that price I would expect rocket-nasa-case rather than bad balanced always lid-closing solid case. Unfortunately except original cases (which are free from cons above ) for guitars there in no as solid alternative as this.
I would recommend this case partially. Great for secure your guitar. Not good at all for transporting in long distances without any vehicle and convenient use when taking out stuff from it and using the inside pocket.
