7 String Guitar Cases For Sale (2024 Update)

I purchased this item to protect my Gibson Les Paul Custom Signature Series Guitar. As reviewed, the interior is extremely plush. The exterior looks quite dependable for all intent and purposes. Like others noted, the points of contention are the metal pieces attaching the handle preventing a 5 star rating. It is illogical to spend so much time on every detail "except" the parts supporting ALL the weight of the instrument. It appears that with a given amount of weight shift, the support brackets may snap off allowing the case to fall down in the direction of the headstock and potentially cause damage from impact. Since this case will very rarely see time outside of my home, I feel fairly certain the few times I need to transport my axe, I will be careful.1amun_re

Cheap shell covered with vinyl. Cheap handle. Cover is falling off where the case curves in. Stitching is a joke, not real. It should sell for about $40. At least it fits my guitar. Not even close in quality to a Road Runner for about the same price.nolens

i ordered this with intentions of getting the most for my money. I don't have big bucks to spend, but I wanted certain things and I got what I hoped for. I wanted enough length to accommodate the longer-than-typical headstock on my LP copy Bradley. The measurements were clearly lined out. The rest of the fit was perfect and plush. My only criticism is the metal bracket that secures the nice handle seems a little thin, but I expected there to be a little give-and-take somewhere, for this price. I'm pretty handy and will figure out a way to reinforce it. If not for this I'd give it 5 stars! FYI, Standard Shipping meant US Post Office, at least in my case. I'm glad I have a good-natured mail carrier.filmbuffed

This is a nice, high quality bag but its not really made for a minion bass. Its made for a Minion Rhodes guitar. My Jackson JS1X minion bass fits but barely. Theres a lot of pressure on the headstock because of how tight it is – which reduces its protection.aaronheinly

Very well made gig bag. Holds the guitar cables and tuner etc in 2 decent sized zip pockets on the front. Very thick sturdy material. Jackson Soloist Pro fits like a glove. There is an extra layer of a thick rubber grip on the base of the bag which prevents water/beer soaking the bag and helps keep the bag stable.jonathan5774

It's a new bag with tags, though listed as "used." It's a very tight fit for the Jackson Kelly. You need to put the headstock in first and then work the back up over the body. It's well made and I'm glad it's got fabric corners holding it in and not just the zipper. It's a good substitute for a hard case when you compare the cost of any hard case for these weird-body guitars.frankb360

Case is just as described. Perfect fit for this model. There were a few rub marks and scratches on it already on the back which is fine really. These are essentially gator brand cases that are rebranded with the Jackson name plate and are refitted for this model. Very sturdy. Comes with TSA lock and keys. If your looking for a sturdy travel case or a storage case this is the one. Pro audio had the best price anywhere on the wide world of interwebs. Honestly most of there stuff is priced very well. I'll definitely be doing more business with pro audio.Richardbrill89

Not much to say about a case, however I can echo what others had said regarding fitment as I was deciding whether or not I would buy it. It fits the guitar absolutely perfectly…no slop, no chaffing or hot spot areas. If you need a case for the 1000 series…this is a no brainer.Mike

I bought this case for my ESP LTD M-400. After two days the interior is falling apart. They use very cheap glue and the felt inside is already loose. The vinyl covering is also very cheap too and I don't think it will be long lasting ether. If you are looking at this case for your ESP guitar don't buy this one. One thing nice about having too many guitars is you can try putting your guitar in many different cases to find the right one. Buy the SKB-66 Deluxe Universal Electric Guitar Case and it will be a perfect fit. The interior is a lot nicer and glue properly. The ESP case grabs the guitar to tight and does not have a recess for the guitar neck. The SKB holds the neck better and does not grab the guitar to tight, but holds the guitar snug when the lid is closed and the TSA latches are latched. It is a much better made guitar case.Donv

I purchased this case for a custom built solid wood guitar. Humidity where I live is usually about 25%. I also purchased the hygrometer that fits inside the case. The first week I owned the case I would put the hygometer in the case, wait a couple of hours, then check it. Then I would put the hygrometer on the end table in the music room. I would wait a couple of hours and then repeat the process. Outside the case, 25%. Inside the case, 43%. I have now had the case for about three weeks. I checked it inside the case about an hour ago. 47%. If your solid wood guitars live in a dry climate, call this site right now and order one of these. It could save your guitar's life. The only down side is the case is only available right now for Classical/Flamenco guitars and Dreadnought guitars. My 12 string fit nicely in the Dreadnought case (Larrivee L-03R-12E) and I will be buying one of these cases soon for that guitar as well.MarkW

I'm a professional classical guitar maker and my case distributor recently went out of business after many decades. So I'm searching for a decent classical guitar case and having a hard time finding one at a reasonable price range. This Protege case DOES fit a standard CLASSICAL guitar. That's the best thing about this case. It's an average quality case, nothing more and nothing less. For in home use it's fine. For light gigging locally it's fine. I WOUND NOT check this case on an airplane! It's simply too lightly built.Bob

The case feels sturdy, as does the handle. I am not worried about damaging my guitar while it is in this case. However, the fit is extremely snug on my 1979 Guild Dreadnought – I have to really push to get it inside the case all of the way. Also, the lock does not function (as in, it will not lock). The latches do not line up exactly, but the case will still close with a little force.It also came with a small (~6"x~2"x~4") foam block with velcro on one side, covered in the same material used inside of the case. This block has multiple stains and marks on it and I am unsure as to the use.I cannot speak for this case's humidity control as I have no means of thoroughly testing it.Good:SturdyBuilt-in HumidifierValue (bought during "Stupid Deal of the Day" for ~$50)Bad:Latches don't line up 100% properlyExtremely snug, almost uncomfortably soStrange blockNon-functioning lockTom-AUTG9

This is a good case as long as these issues don't concern you: 1. My Gibson LP slides around inside the case. I find this surprising as this is a repro Lifton case. To secure the guitar inside the case, you have to pack it out with t-shirts or towels. Huh? 2. The latches feel flimsy. I'm not sure how much abuse these could withstand. I have an ESP case for a different guitar, and the latches on that are solid as are the latches on my OEM Gibson case. I think that Gator have sized this case to accommodate a bunch of different guitars, like Epiphone LPs and other single cutaway guitars. This makes sense for Gator but not for Gibson LP customers. The color is attractive. The pink interior is wild. The plywood feels solid. The tolex is well applied. In the end, I've kept the case as I only need it to transport my LP around in my car. I wouldn't be happy using this as a touring case. This really is a poseur's case. 🙂Chris

It's not the 50's Gibson case, but very close. I have been looking since 1986 for a case like it. Finally being able to obtain it it,is cool. If you are on a budget, get it.Robert

After purchasing the Schecter C Model guitar, I decided a beautiful guitar deserved a beautiful case. Storing my brand new guitar in a used case, it didn't seem right, so I ponied up for the right case that was meant to store such a a masterpiece of an instrument. Rugged, built for wear and tear and looks great! The plush blue lining is thick enough to keep the guitar snug when not being played. Lightweight, durable and good looking.Francie

Ok, so there is only so "fancy" a guitar case can be, right? Wrong. This case is a work of art. First off, it's kind of heavy-which I like. If you plan on carrying it for long distances, you may want to look elsewhere. Secondly, the interior fits my guitar very nicely. There is maybe 1/4" of space around the body of my CR-6,so it isn't snug, but once you latch it down, I can't feel any movement. Thirdly, the blue interior looks awesome. It's velvety, not furry like most cases. Fourthly, the latches look like any other guitar case latches, but they are painted black… they seem like they are coated with something. THEY DON'T MAKE THAT ANNOYING CLACKING NOISE! They open and close very smoothly. Finally, when the guitar is in the case, and you pick up the handle, it balances perfectly. Of course this will differ slightly depending on the guitar, but in my case it works very nicely.etaeniura

Very good buy that was suggested when I bought my Schecter Reaper-7. The guitar fits perfectly in there and doesn't move around at all. The only things I didn't realize when I bought it was that the cutouts for other gear inside the case weren't covered, so if it's not packed in well, there's a chance for it to move around inside. The latches and lock feel a little cheap, but still a good deal for the price. If you're worried about somebody getting into your case or if you want a better luck for say going through a baggage claim, I would look for something a little more expensive with better locks. I don't really have to worry about that, so it's perfect for me. If you want a case mainly for storage, like me, you'll be pleased with this product.Zack G

Well made for the money. The picture doesn't really show the quality, but it's there. My Gibson SG standard fits a little loose, but not enough to move around with the lid closed. Latches seem to be solid and not to cheaply made like other competitors product. It gets five stars. Musiciansfriend get five stars also because they made the entire sales process very simple and direct. Thanks for the great job!!!!Tommyb

Sound: N/A Features: The separate interior compartment was one of the reasons for the purchase but nothing fit. Gibson Les Paul Standard doesn't fit. The neck isn't supported thus causing the body to rock back and forth. Kramer Assault 220+ does not fit. Same problem with the neck as the LP. PRS SE Fredrik Akesson doesn't fit because the body is too thick. Ease of Use: N/A Quality: The outer plastic case material felt thin and flimsy. It'll probably protect your guitar during daily carry but I don't think it'll survive an impact. The latches and hinges are terrible. The latch metal and plating is rough and sharp on the edges. All the latch pivot pins are bowed, I suspect from tension keeping the cover closed tight. The hinges are mounted slightly crooked with the middle hinge mounted on a curve so the edges stick out. All around poor selection of hardware and poor workmanship. The blown foam interior is smaller that the case leaving a 1/4 inch space all the way around. The plush interior hides this gap but it's significant. One of the desiccant packets was open inside (?!) and a few of the little pellets are now rolling around underneath … which means there's airspace underneath! I though it was solid foam? Guess not. Value: I'm not sure what fits in this case … properly … but for $109, its quality and workmanship is marginal and a far cry from the PRS hard case I tried for $177. I would put this in the $60 range but maybe I'm expecting too much. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: It looked good until I actually got it in my hands. Overall: Overall, not worth it. Very poor construction. Not sure what fits. Returning it.Paul

The case is road worthy, and does its job of protecting my guitar! As a touring musician (to any musician), that is what matters most. It is a simple good looking case and I am very pleased that I bought it!I've had it for a couple of months, and have traveled and performed through 3 states with it. I live in Florida and deal with weather that is very humid and big up and down temperature changes during the winter and spring months and the case still looks new and continues to keep my guitar safe!Gene M

If you have a Wolfgang I would highly recommend this case. I studied all other options for it but because of its unique shape I would only recommend this one!djcjr73

Very well made case with top quality fittings. Delivered well packed in two boxes, I am very pleased with it also PMT price was the best and delivery ahead of promised date.William C.

I give this bag only 3 stars because unless Gator upgraded the bag or is making it in the U.S., I don't see the reason for the price increase. I bought one of these for a Sterling by Music Man bass as I was under the impression Gator bags were made in the U.S. when, come to find out, they're made in China (as are Fender gig bags). As the photos indicate, this bag will work for a Fender P Bass, but the Fender FB620 is a better bag for that and other Fender bass guitars while presently costing 10 less than the Gator while offering better protection and features. The Gator GB-4G seems to be more of a universal fit bag accommodating a wider range of sizes. The thing it seemed to have going for it the most was its zipper which seemed heavy duty. I say "seemed" because I returned the bass and so the bag as well.Vice

I bought a used guitar for back porch jamming. Needed a gig bag that didn't cost more than the guitar ,but would keep it safe and clean. Stopped at Sam ash because I was certain they had a variety of gig bags. Not my first visit or purchase.The Gator gig bag I chose is the economy for dreadnought guitars by Gator. Great price for my budget and well made. This bag is perfect for my needs. Easy carry and my guitar is covered.Just enough padding in all the right places for my guitar. Also accessory zipper compartment.Lindy

I'm giving this bag only 3 stars on account of the price increase; for it used to cost about 4-5 less than the Fender FE620 but now costs about 10 more than? Unless it has improved features or is being made in the U.S., I don't see the reason for the price increase as the FE620 gig bag provides better protection and features (for Strat size guitars anyway). I purchased one in May 2021 and only because as I was of the impression Gator bags were made in the U.S. when, come to find out, they're made in China (as are Fender gig bags). I should have sized things up beforehand since the Sterling by Music Man Cutlass I bought the bag for is essentially a slightly shorter, slightly sleeker version of a Strat (for which the FE620 was made). The best thing the Gator bag seemed to have going for it was the zipper which seemed rather heavy duty while mesh pockets on the front of a gig bag aren't particularly practical while being subject to tearing/ripping. As you can see by the photos, there's too much room in the bag for a Strat size guitar (though one might be able to insert the headstock into the bag's internal top pocket to prevent the guitar from sliding around too much in the bag). The Gator GB-4G ELEC Series Gig Bag is more of a universal fit bag better suited for guitars longer and/or wider than a Strat.Vice

I have this close to my desk with my favorite assortment of guitars handsomely displayed and ready for action. The top acts as a shelve for picks, toner, capo etc…Wayne

TL/DR: 10/10 would recommend, even at the higher price point compared to other case stands. Best case stand because it also looks great on its own VS basic racks. This tweed guitar rack/display stand from Fender is exactly what I was looking for to store a few electrics in my new home studio. The tweed shell with red crushed interior looks great and more era-correct (than typical black metal racks) for my 50's Custom Shop Jazzmaster & Nocaster, along with an R8 Les Paul. I have wanted a floor rack, versus wall hangers like I've used in the past, and this case rack definitely makes the room look professional and a little bit nicer than the typical floor stands you usually see. I also love that it's an actual Fender branded case and the tweed & crushed red interior exactly matches my Fender guitar cases. The floor of the case has movable foam-core & crushed wrapped spacers. They are not secured to the floor of the case by any type of velcro, so you can move them around to fid the bottom width of your guitar. I am only using this case for electrics, but you could easily store an acoustic, but understand you will not be able to fit 5 (or 7 depending on the model case you buy) electrics IF you are also storing an acoustic. If you are looking for a sturdy, attractive and Fender branded display for your nicest guitars, this should be at the top of your list. Since I own a few Fender & Gibson Custom Shop guitars, I wanted a really nice case display for them, and having a Fender branded tweed case, for me, was a no brainer. I am also looking at the black Tolex version for my 60's guitars, as this keeps them era-correct and really finishes up the look of a studio.LG

I think the price of guitar cases are totally inflated and to get one on sale is something one has to do to stretch the dollar. Okay, that being said, this case fits my China made Fender strat Squier to a tee. The eye catching tweed fits the Fender vibe. If you noticed my cons was durability i.e. the cases tweed look is attractive, but you wonder as road gigs pile up if the tweed doesnt start to tear and expose the raw components exterior of the case underneath? If they had lacquered the tweed exterior, the case itself would have a fighting chance to slip and slide into vans and carriage areas with little thought of rips and tears it would acquire in a short time. Again, I dont gig much these days, but if I was looking at a case long term that could withstand the road, this case would questionable unless you "handle with care" when you transport and load and unload your gear.James R

I didn't feel like spending over $200 and waiting until who knows when, for a Gibson Explorer case, so I picked one of these up. For the money, it's a good case. I carry my guitars with me to shows, so they are always in my vehicle, so this case does the job. I will say it feels a tad more sturdy than the Gator version of this case, and it's slightly smaller, which is a good thing given how large an Explorer case has to be. The only improvement I could wish for, is to make it tad smaller still. There's still several inches of room from the headstock to the edge of the case. Overall, for the money, I'm very happy with the case.Tony

I purchased this knowing that it wouldn't be a super durable road case but adequate for storage and playing out now and then. In those ways, it met my expectations. The case is made of very thin plywood, but not so flimsy that it can't function as a good light duty case. The hardware appears to be of decent quality and all of the latches lined up well. The lining was neatly applied and actually fairly soft and plush. It is a universal fit case, so I wasn't expecting it to be completely form fitting to my Telecaster. It will move around a bit in the case when you transport it. It could use better neck support, as well. But overall, not bad for the price. Where this product really came up short is with the application of the tweed covering. The tweed was applied over wood chips and small voids in the wood frame. No effort was made in sanding or prepping the wood prior to applying the cover material. This is only cosmetic, but looks really sloppy and substandard. Maybe I just got a rough one. I didn't expect perfection at this price, but I don't think this case ever should have left the factory like this.Pat

I bought the Gator GWE Hardshell case for a Squier Affinity Stratocaster project. The case holds the guitar firmly in place with no movement. I was a bit surprised at the good quality of the case at the price point. It wouldn't hold up to excessive abuse, but for storage purposes it works fine.Kenneth

Bought this case along with a Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster thinking it wouldn’t be as nice as the similar Fender case that is around $80 more but I did think it would at least be a solid, protective case. It is not. Exchanged emails with AMS to authorize an exchange for the SKB case and was made aware exchanges are not allowed on Easy payment options. Makes sense, I just wasn’t aware and I’m sure I’m not the first caught off guard. Opted to return for a refund and was told card on file would be charged around twelve bucks. To return a junky case that has carpet on the interior lifting up, and that also has “tolex” pulling apart on the outside. Lame. Just get the skb, or even better, order the deluxe molded fender case from someone who stocks it and hopefully stands behind the products they sell. Maybe just a byproduct of the Amazon era where decades old retailers are essentially operating like a punk distro…..Ty

I originally ordered the coffin case that was a little smaller because it say "yes, it will fit your BC Rich Warlock guitar"….it didn't . Too Small. The bigger one fits but loosely.Dave

First off, It looks super cool! Inside is nicely padded with a pillow to keep your guitar level. For the cost, It should be built better, Wood is kind of flimsy. And there is glue residue on the seems of the outside of it. This is my first Coffin case other then the Skull cases they made about 5 years ago. The Skull case was built like a tank, This not so much. Keeping it for the novelty, But there are better more protective cases for the money.skidoo90

I am not a "make-a-statement" person, but this case is a good fit for my D'Angelico guitar. Looks a little strange, but appears to be well padded and soft material to protect the finish.Bob

rugged case that fits my D'angelico Gramercy well. Should fit any other brand of Grand Auditorium well too. There's just a tiny bit of wiggle room, but it doesn't bother me too much. It's fine for going around to rehearsal and light gigs. If you're a touring pro or looking to ship a guitar in this case you'll want something beefier. The insides are very well padded as it is. As a stupid deal of the day, this was a great purchase. If you're looking at paying retail, this isn't a bad choice but they're may be something better for your needs out thereBobby B.

i first bought a skb case at 3 times the cost of this and the foam insert fell out of the top when i opened it. i then bought a gator case also about 3 times more in cost and it was so bent up the case was hard to close and would not seal. you could stick 2 credit cards into the latched case between the gaps. i even bought an epiphone branded plywood case and it arrived with what looked like a bullet hole in the bottom bout end. i then bought this for $49 on sale with very low expectations the case was put together poorly, had glue slopped all over the case inside and out, the fuzzy black lining is very thin and cheap and the foam is hard. now the good, it has 6 latches that all work, one is lockable but you can use nearly any suitcase key to unlock it,the two sides come together easily and the fit is tight as it should be, the hinges are well placed and work properly. the outside is hard plastic with a nice uniform finish and what i expected and wanted. the handle is well attached and solid. my epiphone les paul limited custom pro fits like a glove. this is not something i would check at the airlines but it should be fine in the car and protect against kids and dogs in the house if this case had cost $100 or more i would have sent it back, at $49 sale price it is better than i had hoped for and better than the gator or skb. the thing all of these cases have in common is poor workmanship,cheap materials and made in china! after i cleaned up all of the glue it looks quite nice. it is a shame that the companies that build all of these chinese cases rely on the customer to do their quality control work. .crazy gunsmith

I bought a couple of these when they were on sale and they're exaclty what I expected. They're not top of the line, and they certainly are NOT suitable for checked luggage on a flight, but for everyday use they're fine. My Seagull Mariner fits perfectly. My Rogue resonator fits a little loose but it's fine. I've also used one to transport a D'Angelico hollowbody and it fit fine with a towel tossed on top to keep it from bouncing around.Doug

This Musicians Choice product is inexpensive – and no worse than the significantly-more-costly, official, Gibson-branded SG case. That's not saying much, though. The neck rest is about 1/3 of an inch too high. That means that, since the body portion of the case lid has a pad that presses down on your SG's body, closing the case puts serious pressure on the headstock of your guitar. Essentially, unmodified, this case is perfectly designed to break your SG at the headstock, if it's subjected to any, even fairly minor, banging around – such as by airport baggage handlers. If you have modest shop skills – and somewhat more advanced upholstery chops – you can carefully remove the velveteen cloth from the neck rest block, remove the block and sand its bottom down about 1/3 inch, then reinstall (re-glue) the block to the bottom of the case, and then trim and re-glue the velveteen to cover it. Voila! Your SG case now actually PROTECTS your guitar, instead of endangering it. Again, it bears repeating that the Gibson-branded case has EXACTLY the same design defect. The Musicians Choice version is just a slavish copy. If you want actual protection without having to modify the case, buy an ABS-molded, third-party, high-end case and leave both this one and its Gibson equivalent on the shelf.thomst

Excellent case for the price! I keep all my guitars in cases on a guitar rack in my studio. I needed a case for my SG without spending $100 or more on a case. I no longer do any gigs, so this case fit the bill for my needs. As in other reviews, my SG fit like a glove. Are there higher quality, more expensive cases out there? Yes. But for home protection against dust, or accidental fall mishaps, or short trips to a jam session, it's perfect! If your needs are somewhat similar to mine, I'd say, Don't hesitate! I don't think you'll have any regrets! Hope this helps. Cheers!penlan-6941-us

The case described is a 3" thick flat top case for a solid body, and the case GC sent (3 times…!) was a 5" thick case with a top bubble for an archtop. Even the tag on the case says it's for an archtop… It's a great budget case that fits a Telecaster loosely, and it will protect the guitar in my trunk exponentially better than any gig bag and will serve its purpose, so it's a keeper. The case sent is really the other more expensive Musician's Gear Archtop Deluxe Case at the solid body case price, and there's not a lot of other options in this price range.Smitty

Not much to say about a case, however I can echo what others had said regarding fitment as I was deciding whether or not I would buy it. It fits the guitar absolutely perfectly…no slop, no chaffing or hot spot areas. If you need a case for the 1000 series…this is a no brainer.Mike

I bought this case for my ESP LTD M-400. After two days the interior is falling apart. They use very cheap glue and the felt inside is already loose. The vinyl covering is also very cheap too and I don't think it will be long lasting ether. If you are looking at this case for your ESP guitar don't buy this one. One thing nice about having too many guitars is you can try putting your guitar in many different cases to find the right one. Buy the SKB-66 Deluxe Universal Electric Guitar Case and it will be a perfect fit. The interior is a lot nicer and glue properly. The ESP case grabs the guitar to tight and does not have a recess for the guitar neck. The SKB holds the neck better and does not grab the guitar to tight, but holds the guitar snug when the lid is closed and the TSA latches are latched. It is a much better made guitar case.Donv
