Sturdycase for semi-hollowbody guitars

Granted, in most cases a gig bag is perfectly adequate for transporting a guitar, but sometimes you need a bit more protection. For instance, when the instrument vanishes into the bottomless abyss of the tour bus among boxes and cases, on the way to the gig, or if it needs to be stored under optimum protective conditions over a long period of time. The GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case, with its durable plywood construction and classy brown covering made of humidity-resistant Tolex, is an affordable way to transport and store guitars such as the instruments from the Gibson ES series safely over an extended period of time.

Custom-built for semi-hollowbodies guitars

The Gator product range offers a huge selection of custom-made cases for almost every type of guitar. The GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case was developed specifically for semi-hollowbody guitars and is constructed to accommodate instruments of such and similar designs. A sturdy handle has been attached to ensure that the case is perfectly balanced when carried, while the slightly arched lid also provides the best possible protection for the guitar's top. The interior contains a padded and velvety-soft inner lining, providing both a perfect fit and optimum protection from scratches thanks to its soft surface and additional cloth. Moreover, the case contains a storage compartment for important utensils such as strings, picks, and tuners - or the occasional can of beer.

Handle on the Gator GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case

Case with a hard shell and soft core

The Gator GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case is suitable for all musicians with a semi-hollowbody guitar, such as one from the Gibson ES series, who travel a lot and attach great importance to transporting their delicate equipment as safely as possible. Although hardly more expensive than a decent gig bag, this case offers considerably better protection and is the ideal companion for beginners on their way to lessons as well as for professionals whose instruments tend to vanish underneath bulky boxes on the tour bus. The sturdy handle facilitates transport in an optimally balanced position while the velvety-soft inner lining, complete with an additional cloth, effectively protects the instrument from scratches.

About Gator

Gator, or Gator Cases, is an American firm founded in 2000 by father-daughter team Jerry Freed and Crystal Morris in Tampa, Florida. Initially, Gator began with a modest range of moulded plastic guitar cases. From there, they expanded the product line to include case and bag solutions for the whole field of instruments and equipment. A wide variety is covered: Instruments, microphones, and all aspects of live performance, including lighting equipment. At the same time, products for other media areas such as photo and video are also available. All products are made of high-quality plastics, wood, textiles, and EVA materials. The Gator companies also include flight case manufacturer Viking Cases and guitar strap manufacturer Levy's Leathers Ltd., as well as Gator Rackworks and Gator Frameworks.

For the trip to the gig or for long-term safe storage

The Gator GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case shows its potential mainly when transport requires a bit of rough handling - and the classy semi-hollow guitar must therefore be perfectly protected. The shock-resistant outer shell made of multi-layer plywood with its durable brown Tolex covering can easily withstand even the hardest of knocks. If, on the other hand, the instrument is to be stored for long periods of time in the cellar or rehearsal room where conditions are not ideal, the case also rises effortlessly to the occasion. In this way, a guitar can be stored for extended periods of time and well protected from external influences, embedded in soft plush. Naturally, the GW-Semi-hollow Guitar Case is also equipped with a lock to prevent unauthorised access.

Perfect for my Epiphone Casino

amcwey 11.08.2022

Great case for my Epiphone Casino. Perfect fit and comfortable handle. Seems quite strong for day to day use, however I'm not sure it would survive a very heavy object landing on it. The latches and lock are satisfactory. The inner lining is a very bright pink, and gets a lot of compliments! The compartment is big enough for several sets of strings and other accessories, and I keep my cables coiled in the upper section under the headstock. One con is that I have to remove my strap every time as the Schaller strap locks stick out a lot, however this speaks to the snug fit of the case, and I just roll the strap up and fit it in the hollow next to the neck joint. The case has extra foam padding above the bridge, and some foam that follows the contour of the headstock which is appreciated. As such, the guitar does not move around much inside. Somewhat unwieldy for walking around, however this is a large guitar. After over a year of consistent use, the tolex covering has some scuffs, but nothing major. I'm not sure if the tolex would withstand a tour however. Good value for money overall, and looks great to boot! :)

Well impressed

Joey Joey 11.12.2020

A very good quality case for the money, I tried an epiphone sheraton, Casino and and Riviera, all fitted snugly. It also looks better than the factory epiphone case in my opinion. I prefer the pink lining to the grey/black that comes with the Gibson 335 and epi cases, just think it has a classier look,...I'm not too fussed about the liner either way though. Incidentally, I tried a Rickenbacker 330, which also fitted... surprisingly!, although that guitar would benefit from a little padding at the back heel area to avoid stress on the neck/body area.

Good, but...

Loadiam 22.12.2021

It is a great case and does a great job of keeping my Epiphone Dot safe when I have to travel with it. Only mark it down on quality as small stapels used to keep the padding on the frame fall out from time to time and there is a scratch protector which goes over the guitar which is not removable unless you rip it out. This could have easily been clip-on and the one I have was stained with glue. In Summary: not junk, but not super fancy either.

Very nice quality for money

Compared with the stanard Gibson cases, there's not too much in it but the price is very good and provides great VFM - highly recommended!!
