No better case for my Gibson es 335.

I have taken this case to Kigali,Rwanda, Mombasa, Kenya, Israel, Paris, and out to gigs around town at least four times a month. The case has very few visible marks on it. The only maintenance in five years of usage has been to tighten the handle. I was even allowed to place it in the overhead once. Usually the flight attendant will place it in a closet on board the plane. Built like a tank I have never worried when my 335 had to ride with the luggage. Great case!

I would not buy this particular case again

I bought this case thinking it would be a good alternative to a standard Epiphone case for my ES-335 pro. While the guitar does fit, you have to prop up guitar body under the lower bout. This is the only way that it will sit level in the case and take pressure off the neck. This case would probably work well for a true hollowbody with a thin neck profile. I can't imagine with all of todays technology that somebody can't design a case that fits better than this or some of the others that are supposed to fit a " style" of guitar. Not sure if I'm keeping it.

    Headstock angles of ES 335 clones vary. I had to return many cases listed for 335s that did not properly fit my Sire H7. I am happy to report that this case fits my H7 perfectly. By that I mean the neck and body are fully supported and the headstock does not touch the bottom of the case. Nice case. Highly recommended.

  • This case is strong, lightweight and affordable

    I have 3 of these Gator TSA/ATA molded cases (Fender, Les Paul & Acoustic sized). I bought the to check my instruments when flying. It's gotten too hard to count on getting your instrument in the cabin. Flying is the most demanding on cases. These cases have worked great so i got another for my 345

    I just bought a brand new Gretsch G5422G 12-String Electromatic Hollow-Body guitar, and this case is a perfect fit for it! TSA locks work smoothly, and this case will provide excellent protection for my 12 string beauty. Exactly what I needed.

  • NOT for ES-335!

    Great case! Does NOT fit ES-335 style guitars. The body is WAY too deep, causing the 12th fret area to be a fulcrum. You could put foam underneath to make it work, but ideally just get this case for deep body guitars like Grestch or maybe like an ES-175. Pretty bad oversight on Gator's part.

  • Bought this for a Gibson 335, did not fit so returned easily

    I bought the case for my Gibson 335 since the product states it was designed to fit a Gibson 335. It is not designed for a Gibson 335 at all. The description from Gator needs to be changed so nobody else wastes their time. I returned the product hassle free but still a waste of time for myself and your employees.

    Would this fit a shortscale bass (30.5") such as a gibson eb-2? Same body dimensions as an es-335 but longer neck.
