Gator GL-Mandolin Light Case

This is a perfect fit for my mandolin. The spaces inside are well thought out to keep the instrument stable. There's adequate space in a boxed storage area behind the neck space for holding smaller odd shaped items such as a tuner, capo etc. and front pockets of good size for folded paper. The only puzzle I have is where the instrument strap can best lay without having to take it off the instrument- I am still experimenting on that.

Carrying by side handle feels well balanced, there are sturdy plastic studs to prevent damage when placed on the ground. Carried on the back, the case feels a little low against the body despite adjustment of straps, but not uncomfortable. Straps feel Strong.
I would feel very confident of taking my instrument out to a variety of places using this case.

I bought that case for my Fender Concert Tone FM53S mandolin A style and it fits perfectly.

The mandolin sits tight and good inside the case. The case is really hard and light and can protect the mandolin, as a normal hard case, on the way. It also got few pockets for some accessories as picks, strings or other useful stuff.

The quality and the zipper are really good quality and the handles are comfortable ans make it easy to carry.

My only complain is that there is not a strap that can hold the neck of the instrument tight inside, as most cases not having it.
