Gator Cases Hardshell Electric Guitar Case

The Gator GWE-ELEC is an economy hard-shell wood case designed to provide lightweight, classic protection for standard-shaped solidbody electric guitars (such as Stratocasters and Telecasters). Dimensions are approximately 44” long by 14” wide by 4” deep. Core Features • Rugged Wood Construction: Built using ultra-durable 3-ply Luan plywood designed to withstand the bumps and bruises of daily transport and storage. • Moisture-Resistant Exterior: Covered in a sleek Black Tolex PVC wrapper with attractive contrast stitching, which forms a water-resistant, easy-to-clean outer barrier. • Protective Interior Lining: Outfitted with a thick plush black fabric lining over padding that cushions the guitar body against impacts and protects your instrument's finish from scratches. • Built-in Accessory Compartment: Features a spacious storage compartment nestled directly under the neck area for organizing picks, tuners, capos, and strings, while doubling as additional neck support. • Secure Locking Latches: Equipped with three chrome-plated latches, including a standard mechanical key-lock mechanism on the center latch for basic travel security. • Ergonomic Carrying Handle: Formed with a comfortable, matching handle positioned to perfectly balance the case's weight during transport. • Protective Base Hardware: Includes metal feet on both the bottom and back side panels to keep the Tolex exterior safe when placing the case down. Key Technical Specifications • Weight: 8.4 lbs (approx. 3.8 kg), making it a highly portable lightweight hardshell option. • Internal Dimensions: Features a 42.6" length capacity, a 12.75" to 13" lower bout width, and a 3.13" body height. • Fit Compatibility: Ideal for standard Fender-style solidbody electrics. Note: It is not designed to fit wider or thicker bodies like Gibson/Epiphone Les Paul models or radical asymmetric bodies (which require the specialized GWE-LPS or GWE-EXTREME variants instead).
