Beautiful Case but not perfect fit to dreadnought

Despite not being a perfect fit to dreadnought model guitar, it's not a big deal because of the thick cushion the guitar doesnt move around anyway. And it feels it can fit any model including classic and acoustic guitar. But a beautiful case, it's very satisfiying with all of its material and locks and details.

Meh

It looks nice, and it's good to nice to have a case match the guitar brand. Other than that, it's not in line with Alvarez level of quality for guitars. It feels light and flimsy compared to my other cases. Also, it does not close/ line up properly at the latches. Also, be aware that the outside material is cloth-like, and looks like it will stain easily. It does look good and fits a dread nicely..

    I have looked for my retirement acoustic guitar for at least 18 months. Noticed this was available at GC with a pickup and cheaper than the same guitar elsewhere. I cannot describe how wonderful this guitar is. This will be in the family for generations. It is alive in my hands. It will take intense picking to light finger picking. Amazing. I don't use amazing very often.

  • Sure I'd buy it again, I love the look.

    It seems like a good case for the money. I love the look different from typical black. There are a few small issues the fabric has a few small bubbles in it where it's not glued down to the shell. This is on the curvature of the arch top. I think I can fill a syringe with a little glue and fix it but really not a big deal. You have to be a little careful closing the case to make sure the top and base of the case are lined up so it latches. It is an Alvarez case fits my Alvarez guitar like a glove, nicely lined, accessory compartment and again the look are all great. I would buy it again. I like the matching case to my guitar.

  • Would buy again

    Better than expected. Fits my Alvarez guitar perfectly. Just like all the other positive comments it is a quality product. Feels durable, good latches, lots of padding on the inside and it looks cool. Very happy with this case.

  • I love this case!!!

    I love this case! I put my 1983 Alvarez Yari in it and it wrapped around it so snugly. Feel much better keeping the guitar stored in this. The case is very sturdy and quite pleasing to the eye as well, and the inside is so plush! Wish I had, had this nice of a handle on my guitar case when I was on the road!!! The purchase was easy and I was so happy that I was one of the customers that got a case before they were sold out. THANK YOU for everything!

  • Great

    This case is for a dreadnought body shape. The 770 is more of a jumbo shape. Please see "Musician's Gear MGMADN Molded ABS Acoustic Guitar Case"

    Would this case fit my Alvarez AD6012CEBK dreadnought 12-string? It's 42.55" long which seems longer than most dreadnoughts.

    I can only find outer dimensions: 46". You should be good with the DC1

    What are the interior dimensions?

    Open Reply - Kenneth
    INTERNAL DIMENSIONS: Total Length: 44"...Body Length: 22" (24" really but 2" are above where top of acoustic body would hit, so 22" body length in reality)... Lower Bout Width: 15.75"... Upper Bout Width: 12"... Depth: 4.75" (I think a 5" would squeeze..).Measurements were taken with a tape measure from inside-inside edges, so there is still approximately 1/2 an inch of "cushion" in the padding

    Would this fit my Alvarez AG60 CEAR?, If not what case will?

    This case would not be compatible. The Silver Creek Vintage Archtop 000 Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Case would be a good choice.
