He don't have any problem with this case. I also want to buy this stand from Gator because it's much cheap than other brands. I don't have much trust in that little stands for guitars because are unstable. I want something much solid to stay relax when I take a break and put my guitar there and also I need a space for my acoustic guitar http://magazinuldemuzica.ro/GATOR-GW-3X-ST...-B-_-43684.html You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The build is similar to SKB cases Many of them are air tight and will actually float as a bonus QUOTE (Headbanger @ Feb 24 2014, 06:43 AM) ThHas anybody had any experience with these relatively cheap Universal Guitar cases from Gator?

I even used gig bags when playing gigs, so any hard case that won't fall apart from normal usage should do the job. You pay for what you get, but cases don't really need to "do" that much. Unless you're flying with it, or have roadies that pack vans with guitars on the bottom of the pile and drop/kick it like Ace Ventura down the hallway - you should be fine with a gator case.

They also make them for strats etc. ... http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/prodlist.php?c=75 You can find them for as low as $115.00 ... http://www.amazon.com/SKB-1SKB-66-Electric...words=skb+cases Not as hardcore as my A&S flight* cases but I have flown with and 'checked' the SKB and it's always been fine.

They seem sturdy and well made and each has its own lock and key. The instruments seem safe with the necks laying in a padded groove..They won't be moving about inside.There is also plenty of space to keep accessories like music or straps or even sandwiches and beer.. I have owned Fender cases before and these seem to be almost equal, if my memory serves me correctly.For the value, I would recommend them to anyone wanting a relatively cheap hard case solution. For reference, I have taken a couple of pics with my guitars and basses inside... My Fender Squier Precision bass in its Thomann case... My Ibanez SR300 in its Thomann case... My Fender Strat in its Thomann case... My Les Paul in the case the came with the guitar (for interest)... The cases stood on end.... Close up handle and lock of One of the Thomann cases.. Another close up of a Thomann.... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Something extremely funny happened after Saturday's acoustic gig. I was in the backstage and chatting with the guys in the other bands, having a beer and so on. The bassplayer in my band opened the guitar case and took my beloved Yamaha to fool around with it. The case remains empty... in the next 10 seconds, a drunk friend trips on the case, falls straight on it and bashes it into oblivion. The whole backstage remained silent for about 3 seconds. I was VERY lucky But now.. I REALLY NEED A NEW CASE You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'm hoping to buy a place in Spain next year, and become an illegal immigrant. I absolutely love the motherland. Its a beautiful country here in Spain...No one could deny that. It has been very hard hit with the financial crisis for a number of years now and its impossible to get a job. I do quite a lot of illustration jobs to try and support my family and my wife makes jewellery....but alas it is not enough and it is time to move back to England and hopefully find work. I have an 11 year girl daughter and a 6 year old son....they need something more solid than we are offering them here...It means losing a lot of money, selling the house just to raise enough money to give us some support in the UK....but we have made that decision(and sold the house) and off we go very soon. I would also say that I miss my country and haven't returned once in eleven years...so thats a plus.... Its also the main place (apart from US) for Rock and Roll...ask Ben Higgins!!!

Even if the air is dry the guitar won't loose that much humidity through case I agree...I've had mine on the wall for a while now and ever since you mentioned the humidity thing it made me think of cases. I also have my own fears that the necks might warp or headstocks might snap off one day whilst hanging.(Plus I'm moving country with the guitars) The other thing I like about a case...is the pure joy and excitement of opening it to reveal the instrument, as it remains hidden until I want to play it....they just look so damn good laying in a case!!!!!
