Sturdy case for SC-Style guitars

Granted, a gig bag is usually perfectly adequate for transporting a guitar. Sometimes, however, a little more protection is required. 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 SC-Style with its durable plywood construction and covering made of humidity-resistant Tolex, is an affordable way to transport and store single-cut electric guitars safely over an extended period of time.

Custom-built for single-cut guitars

The experts at Gator offer numerous custom-made cases for almost every type of guitar. The Gator Deluxe Case SC-Style was developed specifically for single-cut instruments and is constructed to fit 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.

Sturdy case built to take a beating

The Gator Deluxe Case SC-Style is suitable for all musicians with single cut 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.

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 gigs, trips to the rehearsal room, or long-term storage

The Gator Deluxe Case SC-Style shows its potential mainly when transport requires a bit of rough handling - and the single cut 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 Gator Deluxe Case SC-Style guitar case is also equipped with a lock to keep prying eyes at bay.

Does the job, but not perfectly

Matthew V. 24.03.2015

Firstly, the guitar this was intended for is an Epiphone Ltd edition, Lee Malia signature Les Paul Custom. I assume that this guitar is the same dimensions as the Epi LP Customs/Standards but I have no base for comparison. Also I don't intend to gig with it. It's primary use will be at home as storage and for travelling in my car to friends houses.

The exterior is nice, the top bulge is not too pronounced, the stitching is great quality and the leatherette looks good.

My LP Fits snugly inside this case, it's not loose and doesn't rattle around, which is excellent. The interior is deep and plush and feels very soft to the touch, I am confident that it will not mar the finish on my guitar - although my guitar is Lacquered, so I'm not sure how well it would perform with a nitro finished LP.

The neck brace is good and looks like it will support the neck adequately and the headstock has plenty of room and fits well (std Epi shaped headstock).

However, this case does have a triangular foam block on the bottom where the body sits, this is a little odd and I'm guessing it is there to support thinner bodied LP's like juniors and studio, but it means that it acts as a pivot point for my thicker bodied custom, which is a little odd - in order to get the neck of the guitar to lay flat against the neck rest I have to wedge my cleaning cloth underneath the very bottom of the base. I am assuming that this foam block will become compressed over time and use and will mould to the shape of my particular LP.

The compartment inside the case is a good size, enough space easily for a strap and a spare set of strings and a few picks with space spare.

The latches feel nice and strong, they lock well. However on mine the hinges are a little offset - the lid closes properly but not until I've seated it properly.

Overall verdict, this is a nice case, and my guitar fits snugly which is exactly what I wanted. It's not a Gibson case, but for the price, I was not expecting it to be.

I have no worries about the suitability of this case, for purposes like mine it will provide excellent safety for my precious LP. However I'd think twice if you gig heavily. If this base ever broke, I probably wouldn't buy another.

Good Case for a Great Price

Anonymous 11.10.2016

While I did buy this as a way of getting a cheap case for my Les Paul, I was actually surprised by the quality at first. It was well built and the inside of it always protected my guitar. The groove on the top has never been a trouble either. While there isn't much space inside for extra things, there is an oversized compartment for the headstock which makes a great place to hold those damned things you need (i.e. strap). It's not particularly tight on space and I did get one scratch on my guitar from the case itself. There is also a compartment with an inside for holding your picks and cables etc. It comes with a lock with 3 keys, which I've tried and I don't think it belongs to the case at all. The keys don't fit in the keyhole.

After 1 year of use, the latches needed constant maintenance after 6 months, but now one has altogether fallen off.

It's not a great case, and it's just average. Not good, not bad, just average.

I bought this to store/transport my 7-string Eclipse.

The exterior shell appears to be made of hard ply, which seems sturdy enough, certainly to the extent that I'd be quite comfortable taking it on a car journey without too much fear. I wouldn't trust it for air travel, but it's a little unfair to hold it to that standard when a hard shell flight case would be more reasonable for that.

The interior is lined with strategically placed foam pads, with a further layer of soft faux fur coating the extent of the inside. The neck is well supported, and there's no problem accomodating the wider 7-string neck, which fits snugly and is well supported in the neck cradle. There's also a small separate compartment for storing picks, straps, maintenance tools and the like, which is extra useful in my case, since I have evertune keys which need to be kept handy.

The only real issue I've had is some minor cosmetic damage/tearing, along with some poor seam alignment in the faux leather coating of the exterior. Considering I bought this to take a potential beating, rather than having one inflicted upon the guitar inside, I'm willing to overlook such cosmetic issues, considering the price is very reasonable; as long as it's sturdy, supportive and reasonably secure, it doesn't need to be flawless visually.

Awesome Price-Quality Ratio

WarL1ghT 26.05.2019

This is going to be simple . This hard case has a very very good price tag on it . It's pretty solid , the Single Cut even if it's not an epiphone or a gibson , it fits well , i'm using it for my LTD Eclipse and it's great , it fits well . The handling of this case is good , but you know , considering the shape of the case , the weight distribution is a bit different on one side than on the other , but it does not mean it's bad , no , not at all , it's good, i'm just saying a square type of case would do better for carrying the guitar around .

Again , at this price tag , this case is all you need , it's solid , it keeps the guitar safe , it looks good , there's nothing bad you will encounter or something that will not satisfy you with this case , especially at this price .
