As I mentioned in the gear acquisitions thread, I ordered a Pro Series Tweed case for Jessica (my Am Std Strat).
She came in the 2013 SKB molded case, which I do like and will keep for gigs and longer road trips.
It's a very good case but I've always felt that an American Stratocaster deserves a classier case.
Here it is:
My review:
- The case is light, about the same weight as the SKB.
- The strat fits PERFECTLY, doesn't have the slightest gap. The neck sits tight and the guitar doesn't move around when you carry the case. Even the SKB has a minimum gap. This one has a perfect fit.
- The overall quality isn't the same as in an older G&G tweeder, the ones I've held before felt better, especially the plastic handle, the latches and the leather parts, which feel a bit cheap. But people say that the newer G&Gs are just the same, though I can't tell, never had one of the new ones in my hands.
In a sum, I'm satisfied. It is a "modern classic" case for a "modern classic" guitar. It's classy enough.
