Gator GWE-TBIRD-BASS Thunderbird Basgitaar Houten Koffer

Very snug fit for a Twisted Wood tenor, wouldn't work for a wide base model. Case appears well built, and a good value.

The case was delivered just wrapped in clingwrap. The "leather" is damaged. I won't return it as it was the last one in stock unfortunately and it does the job of protecting my solid koa wood Martin & Co Ukulele.My initial impressions of the case ignoring the damage:It feels solid. Heavy. The fake leather gives a robust impression but the tear concerns me about the longevity of it. The handles and latches feel fine. Not great or fantastic. But fine. 4 latches (3 on one side and one last one on the opposite side to prevent accidental opening) make me feel secure that it wont open unless I intend to. The lock is Meh at best. But its there..The inside is nice overall. Basic but all you really need. Not sure how long it will stay nice though. But for now its fine. There is a medium sized storage compartment which I find great for keeping extra strings, picks, tuner, a cloth etc. My Tenor Ukulele fits very nicely. There is definitely space for me to add my Daddario 2 way Humidifier as well as a Hygrometer.Overall I'd say this case is all you need and nothing more. I'm not sure how long the outside finish will last. I'm reasonably happy with it for what I paid (65 USD) mostly because it is the only case available where I live in Dubai (Ukuleles not very popular here it seems). I believe KALA sells cases for around 99 USD. If I had the chance it would MUCH rather have gone with that for the extra money.Overall 3.5 stars. 3 starts because mine arrived damaged and this seems to be a recurring problem.

I've had a couple of these cases, previously purchased from a music store, with instruments. I ordered this one to replace a "poly-foam" rigid case that I didn't like as much. I didn't see any flaws other reviewers have mentioned such as material peeling away. I don't transport them frequently either, so I don't see a wear and tear problem cropping up. The other case I have like this is a couple years old and no signs of wear.Odorless, minimum security lockable, ample room for small odds / ends in storage compartment

I bought this for a KALA KA-SA-T8 eight string Ukulele that I own that I was struggling to find a hard case for (due to the long headstock).After lots of measuring I decided to give this one a go. It fits perfectly, well the length is perfect and that's with an end strap pin fitted, the lower bout just fits but is 'snug' but I'm sure that it will 'loosen' with use.It's very good quality with good secure latches.Delivery was in two days (and this was less than a week before Christmas).So, a great case and an excellent service from the seller.

Arrivata con 2 giorni di anticipo.Gator Gwe-335.Perfetta, non un graffio.Leggera e abbastanza robusta. Non flight-case ma adatta ad un trasporto normale.La mia semiacustica Eko C-39 del 1985 ci calza a pennello.Le misure dello strumento sonoCassa: spalle 28.5 cm, vita 23 cm fianchi 40.5 cm, lunghezza 44 cmManico con paletta: lunghezza 60 cmLunghezza totale della chitarra: 106 cmL'elegante imbottitura di peluche nero molto morbido la accoglie in modo preciso (spalle/fianchi della cassa) impedendone i movimenti.Sul fondo un cuscino a profilo variabile sostiene la cassa armonica distribuendo il carico in modo uniforme fino alla sella poggia manico.Questa medesima, anch'essa precisa, assicura una ferma posizione della chitarra.L'ampia sede dedicata alla paletta garantisce che le meccaniche di accordatura siano a debita distanza dal rivestimento.I cuscini del top, alla chiusura dell'astuccio, completano il fermo posizionamento dello strumento.Lo spessore della GWE-335 dichiarato non corrisponde a quello reale che è esternamente di 13 cm.Il top, leggermente convesso per 2cm aggiuntivi nella zona centrale della cassa, ne segue gentilmente il profilo conferendo maggiore armonia al design già curato.Le 4 chiusure (dallo sgancio in verità un po' leggero) di cui 3 lato apertura e una lato cerniere, posizionate assieme a queste lungo il perimetro in modo equidistante, offrono una chiusura uniforme e apparentemente stabile.Il rivestimento esterno, goffrato denso, opaco, è molto gradevole al tatto.Particolare da non sottovalutare è la totale assenza di odori chimici prodotti dai materiali.Sono estremamente soddisfatto.
