Nice case, does it's job

By Travis S. from Mesa, AZ

Good case, not sure what else to say. Fits my Washburn Bella Tono great. Got this one because I liked the green felt over the marginally cheaper option. Sturdy, fits well and works. Its a hardcase. Not much else to say than I dont regret buying it.

Guitar Case

By Paul F. from Lakewood, OH

That was fast!! No kidding here. I ordered this at 1:30 AM on December 23rd, it shipped at around 8:00 AM, and it arrived at 9:15 AM on December 24th. This is the Christmas session that things may be late.

Nope, not at Sweetwater! It shot out of there facility like a rocket!!! It came by bullet train as well. Thank you FedEx!

Great fit

By Sweetwater Customer

Ordered an Ibanez thin body guitar and needed to make sure a hardcover case would fit. Talked to Jordan in customer service and my hard case fits perfectly. Thanks

It's an SKB Case - you know what you're getting

By Sweetwater Customer

It's an SKB econo-case. You know the quality you're getting, and you know it's going to be a good case for the money.

The only downside I have with this case, is that it was listed as a Verified Fit for my Ibanez Thinline AEWC32FM - except - the knobs for the preamp do NOT fit in the case - I had to cut the inner liner out of the case, and remove the foam along the edge where the preamp knobs are on the guitar, so that it would fit in the case.

SKB Case

By Art N. from Las Vegas, NV

This case fits my Taylor Academy guitar perfectly, no movement in the case at all. The green interior is beautiful and the exterior is very sturdy. With all my instrument purchases Kenneth Lindsey is a pleasure to work with as is the Sweetwater organization.

Average case

By gaetano a. from CA
Music Background: Hobby musician.

I expect all latches to latch without having to slightly jimmy the case. I have to do that with this case.

Low quality

By Sweetwater Customer

Mine arrived yesterday and I did the full inspection- a couple of the hinges are misaligned and therefore the case will not close right. If I use all of my strength to close the latches at the misaligned hinges, it will eventually close evenly. But not without a painful fight- the latches grabbed my thumb and closed on it. I've got a bad blister now and I think I'm going to pass on this case.
The last time I bought a hard case was in 2004 for my Gibson SG, and it was very well made. You could throw it, sit on it, open and close it and lock and unlock it so smoothly and effortlessly. It cost about $100. Either times have really changed or I need to keep looking.

SW is awesome!

By John from Florida

As a brand new customer, I can say that I'm quite happy so far. The guys that took my phone orders were as cool as can be, and I do so appreciate how they make me feel like my musical requests were all cool, like shipping the guitar inside the cases to give the instrument that extra buffer for the journey. Believe me, it makes a difference. Not all instrument retailers will do what it takes to make it seaworthy, and when you try and return..we'll it can be a major hassle..SW took care of me, all good so far..the case is good, the only complaint is that gravity is always wanting to close the lid while I'm trying to ease her out of there, but I prop the lid against the dresser and it works..shout out to all people working on some music of your own, I hope it comes out great for you!!

Nice case for my Taylor academy

By Bruce M. from Huntington Indiana

I purchased this case for my Taylor academy guitar. It fits perfect and feels like a very solid case!
After purchasing the case I noticed three weeks later that one of the hinges was not mounted correctly and that made it hard to close on the neck end of the case. I took it back and talked to them about this problem. I had noticed I had to squeeze that end to close it but being new to guitar I thought maybe this was normal?
The sales engineer looked and said no that's not right and asked if he could trade me for a brand new one?
Why would I ever buy from anywhere else?!?!?!?!

I love the green interior of this economy skb case. It's very sturdy and light to carry. Perfect for my new Breeedlove Organic concertina sized acoustic guitar. It's small and meant for an 000 sized instrument or smaller. This is a very nice case!

Perfect Fit for Ibanez AGV10A

By SMN from Fort Wayne, IN

I purchased an Ibanez Artcore hollow-body, and didn't want the stock appearance of the Ibanez case. After going through 3 other cases, I was presented with this case - perfect fit. The case locks up tight, plenty of padding on the inside, and a gorgeous green color that really pops when you open it up. Well made, and a great value. And you can't beat the service at Sweetwater!
