The Gator Flight Pro V3 TSA Series ATA molded acoustic guitar case delivers peace of mind for musicians who need maximum protection for their instrument when traveling by air. Designed specifically for full-size dreadnought acoustics, this rugged polyethylene hardshell case features a TSA-accepted locking latch system, allowing easy inspection by airport security without damage to your guitar. The impact-resistant outer shell reinforced with valance edges shields your instrument from bumps and falls. Inside, the plush blue interior lining prevents scratches while the EPS foam interior can be customized to cradle your guitar snugly. An extended neck cradle prevents damage to the vulnerable headstock. With the Gator Flight Pro V3 TSA case, you can transport your acoustic stress-free knowing it's shielded from harm.

Travel Worry-Free With a TSA-Accepted Locking Latch and Durable Polyethylene Shell

The most reassuring feature of the Gator Flight Pro V3 case is its TSA-approved center locking latch. Designed specifically for air travel, the latches can be opened and relocked by TSA agents during inspection, eliminating the need to break or cut locks that could damage your case. For further peace of mind, the gray release triggers are surface mounted to divert impacts away from the latch housing. With this TSA-ready case, you can check your instrument on flights without fear of damage during security checks. The Gator Pro V3's roto-molded polyethylene outer shell provides exceptional strength to protect your guitar from life's bumps and knocks. The textured matte finish resists scratches while the ATA-certified design withstands the rigors of frequent transport. Reinforcing valance edges provide extra impact diversion so your instrument stays safe. The case is lightweight for easy carrying while still offering serious protection. With the Gator Pro V3, your guitar is shielded inside and out.

Carry With Ease Using the Ergonomic Handle

Built with portability in mind, the Gator Pro V3 case features an ergonomic injection-molded handle for easy carrying. The thoughtfully designed handle ensures a comfortable, sturdy grip when transporting your guitar. This case travels light but provides heavyweight protection. With the Gator Pro V3 hardshell case, you can transport your valuable acoustic guitar stress-free to gigs near and far.

    Bought this case to replace the original chipboard case that the Taylor came with. Doing a lot of dates on the road traveling having to take airplanes. It really saved the Guitar being tossed around. Hartsell and sturdy nice interior and looks good.

    I bought this case to safely transport a vintage guitar on an airline. Its plush interior supported the guitar nicely while the strong body protected it from damage during baggage handling. This case was well worth the investment!

    Will It fit a Yamaha NTX3?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The Gator Flight Pro V3 TSA Series ATA Molded Acoustic Guitar Case is primarily designed for full-sized dreadnought acoustic guitars. Given the Yamaha NTX3's dimensions—total length of 40 3/8" (1026 mm), body width of 15 1/8" (384 mm), and body depth ranging from 3 1/8" to 3 9/16" (80–90 mm) , it is smaller than a typical dreadnought guitar. Therefore, while the NTX3 may fit inside the Gator Flight Pro V3 case, it might not be a snug fit, potentially leading to movement within the case.

    The Gator Flight Pro V3 TSA Series ATA Molded Acoustic Guitar Case is not suitable for the Gibson SJ-200. To ensure proper fit and protection, it's recommended to use a case specifically designed for Super Jumbo guitars.

    Given these measurements, the Martin 000-X2E will fit inside the Gator Flight Pro V3 case, but there will be extra space around the guitar. This could lead to the guitar moving within the case, which is not ideal for protection.

    The Gator Flight Pro V3 TSA Series ATA Molded Acoustic Guitar Case is designed primarily for full-sized dreadnought acoustic guitars, which are significantly larger than a Yamaha Silent Guitar SLG200S. The SLG200S will likely rattle around inside the Gator case due to the extra space..
