Tweed Guitar Case Fender Strat For Sale (Jan 2023 Update)

Cracking bag this. I keep my gorgeous new Fender bass guitar in it. Looks smart, plenty of cushioning without being too bulkyMark A.

This is case is impressive & rugged. Had to do a slight modification to the inner brace that secures the guitar neck because it was too narrow for the neck to fit. I just removed it, re-shaped it and secured it with Superglue (Unfortunately, not being paid to say 'Superglue'). You can see in the photo it fits the guitar neck perfectly. When the case is shut, the guitar stays secure in its place. Just not sure why the handle wasn't attached at the center of the case. As you can see in the pic, this is definitely recommended for the actual 60th anniversary Fender but any Axe Heaven Fender guitar will look great, resting in peace!John564Holloway

Not worthy of being called fender. It's like I bought a knock off brand. This was supposed to be for a Christmas present and so I ordered the dark blue one. It had the same issue of the leather falling off on the inside. The only thing keeping it together was a thin amount of glue. It was falling apart. So we returned it for another one. And got this light blue one. The problem was worse. We are having to glue it on ourselves. But honestly this is unacceptable. Not only was the leather unglued but there was several holes in the outside, and the fender logo inside is just plastic wrap on top of a metal button. My husband is dealing with it because I got it for him but I expected better. He loves fender, and I notice quality details right away and this wasn't it. They need to reevaluate what they are doing to save money. Definitely would not gonna buy again or recommend to anyone that wants a case that will last a long time. All of them on the store were like this by the way.Clarissa

I purchased the tweed/red case and really love it. I had read some negative review in the past so I was a little hesitant but the one I got arrived in perfect condition (quality materials, latches all line up, etc.) and just looks fantastic. One thing I would like others to know (should be more common knowledge and the case should come with a small instruction sheet, for which I would give a Fender/G&G a full 5/5 stars), is that at first you might think the case is a little small because of the padding — it is actually fine as long as you know that you need to "pre-squish" the sturdy padding and then properly insert the guitar (and also let it get settled for a bit). Indeed, this particular tweed case has very sturdy padding where the headstock and bottom of the guitar touch (also a little on the sides). This is a good thing in the long run but at first it appears as if the guitar might not fit (either a Tele or Strat with regular size headstock). There are forums explaining that it is best to put the head stock in first and then slowly push the bottom in. I would also add another very important step before that… With a little patience and elbow grease (but careful not to overdo it), spend a bit of time carefully squishing down the padding on both ends. After a little while, check (and re-check as necessary) to see if the guitar is getting easier to fit in (be especially careful with the high "e" string tuner when test fitting to avoid getting bad pressure on it). Your patience will pay off when you get to the point where the guitar fits very snug all around (without any loose movement). I suppose they could use more squishy material for the padding for an easier initial fit but it seems that would risk a loose fit in the long term. Since these cases are more for vintage vibe than, say, super-duty TSA-approved for heavy travel, it is more good than bad that the padding needs a bit of initial coaxing to get the best fit so it stays more snug long term.JOSE

This case is not what I expected from a G&G case. I've owned numerous G&G cases over the years and currently own two that came with my 70th anniversary Broadcaster and AVRI 62 Telecaster and this case is not the same quality as those. The first thing I noticed is that this case is extremely light. That's because it's made of thin, flimsy material and the top will flex under light pressure.The overall quality is nowhere close to the older G&G cases; tolex, latches, handle…everything. Also, my guitars fit very snugly in the older cases and with this one, my Tele has room to slide back and forth about a quarter of an inch. These cases aren't bad, they're just not great quality and what you'd expect from G&G. In my opinion they're a little overpriced for what you get, too. Also, be aware that the "orange" plush interior is closer to red than orange and does not look like the photos.Adam

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

It's difficult to give a really definitive review since a guitar case really proves its quality over time and I just got this one, but I'll say that it seems solid and is exactly what it's slyly advertised as–a much more affordable copy of Fender's strat case that is almost indistinguishable from the original. So far I'm definitely happy with it–my strat fits inside snugly and it feels like quality product.Michael T.

Holds my Stratocaster nice and secure plus has an interior compartment for my cables, picks, extra strings. Very well constructed, great value. If ypu don't NEED the Fender case get this one.depthoffieldphoto-4

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 received one of these cases with me Fender American Elite Shawbucker Stratocaster. I've loved the case, no problems and has alot of protection. I decided to buy a "beater" Fender Player Strat that I didn't have to worry as much about as my other premium guitars. It unfortunately does not come with a case. I was a little worried it wouldn't fit the same, but it's perfect. This case can definitely take a beating and protect your precious guitar. I highly recommend this case if you need a case for a Stratocaster.Michael

This case fit my MIJ Jazzmaster like a dream! I was able to get a discount with Musician's Friend as the previous case I was going to buy was on backorder. This case has far better specs than the SKB case I was going to buy and its well worth the money. Supports the neck properly, and has a nice compartment. The only thing I wish this case had more of was I wish the compartment was big enough to fit extra pickguards. Its a minor gripe and still has plenty of room for tuners, strings, picks, and the trem arm. Bottom Line: If you have a Jazzmaster that you're going to travel with or you want to keep it safe, then this is a must buy!Tim

Purchased this case for my Fender Precision Bass. Mostly, will be kept in my studio, and occasionally on a few short gigs. Case seems sturdy, and I like the compartment size suitable for a strap, cable, etc. Also features a locking latch which is very handy. Pricewise, its a very nice case for my needs, without going into more expensive flight cases for touring. Very satisfied and should last for quite a while. Would buy this product again. Cheers!penlan-6941-us

Decent case for the money. Dimensions are a little off from whats advertised. Lower bout width is around 13-1/4 instead of 13-1/2 so my BC Rich Eagle fits a little snug. Overall, no more than I use it, itll work. Sure beats paying $300 for the actual BC Rich case. Also, if your headpiece sets at a steeper angle, it will put pressure on the headpiece. Depth is more for a Fender style headpiece.xv1700at3

Nice hard case. Had to get one cause soft bag wasn't good enough for guitar. This 2017-2018 "Black Stratacastor" knockoff version is all I need to learn how to play like the Rock Gods I admire. My favorite guitarist of all time; 1. David Gilmore 2. Gary Rossingston 3. Tom Sholtz 4. Kieth Urban 5. Jimmy Page 6. Joe Walsh 7. Don Felder 8. Angus Young 9. Peter Frampton 10. Stevie Ray Vaughan 11. Vince Gill 12. Slash 13. Brian May 14. Tony Iommi 15. David Jenkins 16. James Booth 17. Heath LeggHeavyD

I was hoping for a good quality case to use to protect my guitar. This case is great, nice looking well made, excellent quality. I really like this case, it is well cushioned to protect during storage or to carry. My suggestion, if you need a case, you will "not" be dissatisfied.Leon

Bought for a Breedlove Solo Concert CE 12 String and it fits great. A little big in the upper bout of guitar but doesn't slide at all. Nice case for the money if you can snag the stupid deal or 15-20% off deals. At regular price there are others but I do like this one more than the plain black leatherish/abs/tolex looking cases. The black tweed makes it look fancier. Protects and looks good.CY

Looks like a million bucks. Nice faux fur interior, quality on par with most factory hard shell cases. Deep storage pocket. Black chrome hardware. The downside I could see is that the tweed would likely get messed up if heavy gigging, flying, moving a lot, own a cat (claw sharpener). But if you're like the 99% that aren't on tour, it's greatMushroom Hammer

This is an awesome case and an awesome price for this awesome case seriously Blown Away by the quality you won't regret it.erdel.2015

Well made, well designed , good interior padding, good quality clips and hinges. All in all a good value for money productforreststump47

Needed a hardcase for my Les Paul Junior, looked everywhere but this was by far the best deal I could find. Ordered one day, arrived the next, fantastic service as always from PMT!!Marc I.

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
