    I put a MIM telecaster in this case and flew half-way around the world...not a single issue with my guitar and the case looks good as new. This will last me a lifetime, and was a very smart investment. Will be getting a few more for other instruments. Fits a Tele or Strat without any issues.

  • Minor fit issues, excelent build quality

    Poor fit with Fender Squire Strats (both and older China and brand new Indonesia Affinity models tested. The issue is right at the too of the guitar body and bass of the neck. There is material there in the case that should not be. I managed to crush the correct portion with a block of wood, at least enough to barely get a guitar in flat. Once I did, after a few days with a guitar stored, everything seems fine. I'm expecting to need to repeat the process if I keep it empty for a month or so. Otherwise, everything seems great. Deep accessory pocket, and the guitar fits very snugly, including the neck. Case seems very similar to my Pelican cases, and definately much, much stronger than the Gator flight case I have on my Washburn Grand Auditorium. I would not recommend this for a Squier long term, due to the cost, BTW. But, it's a good stepping stone to a more expensive Fender.

    Guitar doesn't fit??? I don't get it? I bought two cases for two of my three Stratocasters, and none fit. I brought them back to the store, and they were just as baffled. Apparently, if you push down hard enough, the guitar squeezed in. However, now it wobbles, and when you remove it you have to squeeze it back into the case. In addition, after squeezed into the case, the neck isn't flush to the neck padding (more wobbling). The shell of the case is incredibly tough and polished fit, so what! My several thousand dollar guitar isn't comfortable. It's a shame they didn't work out, because outside they are remarkable cases.

    USA-made, top quality in every way: functionality, workmanship, fit, operation, materials, specifications. Put my (Indonesian) Squire STRAT (Affinity) by Fender into the case (minus the strap) and then removed the Tremolo Arm (after the pics) before closing the case. Took some time to adjust the body's position into the very tight, but accurately cut interior. The padding is dense and thick. One open compartment for other items. The case cost me 25% more than the guitar it holds.

    Had to buy the most hard solid case available at guitar center to travel from New York to Brazil. I put some "Fragile" and "handle with care" signs, loosened the strings, wrap with some plastic bubble around the case and prayed a lot. It did fine on its journey. At first, i thought my mexican made tele wasn't going to fit inside it. The inside seemed to tight but i think that happened because its built really tight. After some gentle squeezing, it fitted just fine
