SKB Deluxe Universal Dreadnought Guitar Case Black

Comments about SKB Deluxe Universal Dreadnought Guitar Case:

I just picked this case up with my new Martin while I was in the United States. Sent it all the way back home to Australia and it did a great job of protecting my guitar. Hardly a nick on the outer shell and it also has the TSA lock so you don't need to leave it unlocked while sending it through.

I selected this case after looking at many. For my purposes, which does not include air travel, it is a good value. It is made well and supports the entire neck of the guitar. The lining is extra plush. The case seems strong and the latches are tough. It seals good enough for home storage and car travel. If I were to travel by plane, I would step up to a more expensive case with a tougher skin and a gasketed lid. This is a good case for the money if used in the right application.

The only vulnerability of this SCK case is if something heavy hits it dead center over the lower bout. It's possible to flex it inward right where the bridge is. The padding is good and you've nothing to fear with the latches. The overall fit and finish gets an "A", and the compartment is sizeable. A determined airline baggage handler could destroy it with enough malice or gross negligence, but other than that, you're fine. This is the case I supply by default to my customers. But I tell them to insure it if they fly.

I bought this case for my dreadnought acoustic guitar after having purchased similar SKB cases for two different electrics. Unlike the electric guitar cases, this case was a poor match for the acoustic. There was at least an inch of extra space all around and the guitar bangs around inside the case. I'm surprised that SKB would miss the mark with this case. I'm shipping it back.

What a surprise. The item was better than stated. I couldn't be happier. If half the items shipped are up to these standards this will be the first of many transactionswith your company. Keep up the good work.

First let me say I love this case. I think it is a very solid case most likely the best case you can find for a guitar however, I have went through three defective skb cases I have had to go and return everyone back to guitar center because of some kind of flaw. The first one the handle was broke, second one the hinges were bent third one will not seal correctly. Like I said I love the case and if you can get a good one your good or you might have luck like me. Anyway wish I could get one that worked I'm going to exxchange this last case for the epiphone hard shell case. by the way the guys at guitar center have been very helpfull and understanding .

This SKB case does not close properly, 3 of the 4 locks have "shattered" completely. This case has been opened and shut maybe 5 times in its short life as I received it early March 2013!!! Its junk and picks up scratches super easily so aesthetically the case will look like the junk it is in no time. I own the SKB Fender Strat case and it has flown several times and is built like a tank so when I was thinking of something nice for my Big Baby Taylor I went with SKB but the difference in the cases night and day so if I were you I would stay away from this case.

I have 2 of these cases now. They are rugged and fit my guitars well. I found that they hold the humidity from my planet waves humidifiers better that the case they came in.

Wish hinges had a stronger appearance, they may be strong, just haven't had it long enough to know.

Excellent protection but it comes a little bit big, I use this case for the CGX122MCC Acoustic Electric Classical guitar Yamaha.

After reviewing many moderately-priced hardshell cases, I selected the SKB, and I think that I made a good choice. The construction seems tough enough to handle being squeezed in my van with other equipment during transportation. The rubberized handle has a good "feel" to it, and the case seems to be balanced well. The top and bottom case frames match well so that closing and latching goes smoothly (an issue I had with my last case). I was concerned about how my Martin Sigma DR-35 would fit, but I am happy to say that it fits comfortably with about 1/2" space between the body and the interior lining. The lining is plush and attractive, and the storage compartment handles my strap, tuner ,capo and picks. I had my last case for 28 years, and I hope this lasts at least as long.
