Case bought for my first Gretsch guitar. Slightly miffed that none of the hard cases I already owned were a good fit, but such is life.
Case seems sturdy, though not sturdy enough that I’d trust it in the cargo hold of an aircraft.
It’s definitely a case for sticking on the back seat of a car, or for hand carrying on a shortish journey.
I’m not the biggest fan of gold hardware; plus, it can rub off and look a bit tacky. I’ve not had the case long enough to know if that’s an issue here. Aesthetically it looks fine, with a big gold ‘Gretsch’ emblazoned on the lid.
It also looks small when compared to other rectangular hard cases I own. It’s also a fair bit lighter, and easier to cart around.
I’m sure there are better made, and less expensive cases around, but the odd-ish dimensions of my new Gretsch meant I was unwilling to buy a generic case, on the off chance that it was a poor fit.
That said, I don’t regret buying it.
Thomann’s customer service was excellent throughout, There was a few weeks wait for the case to be restocked, but they kept me updated on the likely schedule, and explained the delivery / tracking info very well.
Will be buying from Thomann again.
