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 Gator Deluxe Case Dreadnought with its durable plywood construction and covering made of humidity-resistant Tolex, is an affordable way to transport and store dreadnought steel-string guitars safely over an extended period of time.
The experts at Gator offer a large number of custom-made cases for almost every type of guitar. The Gator Deluxe Case Dreadnought was developed specifically for steel-string guitars with a dreadnought design and is constructed to accommodate instruments of this type. 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. Moreover, the case contains a storage compartment for important utensils such as strings, picks, or a tuner - or the occasional can of beer.
The Gator Deluxe Case Dreadnought guitar case is suitable for all musicians with dreadnought-style acoustic guitars 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 effectively protects the instrument from scratches.
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.
The Deluxe Case Dreadnought guitar case shows its potential mainly when transport requires a bit of rough handling - and the dreadnought steel-string guitar must therefore be perfectly protected. The shock-resistant outer shell made of multi-layer plywood with its durable Tolex covering can easily withstand even the hardest of knocks. Or perhaps the instrument is to be stored for extended periods in the cellar or the rehearsal room, where conditions are not ideal. The guitar can be kept safe and protected from external influences over a longer period of time, embedded in soft plush. Naturally, the Deluxe Case Dreadnought guitar case is also equipped with a lock to keep prying eyes at bay.
