Fits LTD arrow
Bad tempa 09.12.2021
I bought this in the hope that it fits my ltd arrow 1000, it does. Comes with loads of velcro blocks to make the guitar snug. theyre not meant specifically for this guitar but you can make it work. Beats paying £200 for the ESP case. Well built and will withstand touring.

Amazing Quality, inexpensive, perfect fitment, arrived fast!
SuperSnakeGT500 11.02.2022
The case is great quality, it easily accommodates any of my extreme shaped guitars. The case is very easy to open and close and is built solidly with a very nice Gator logo badge attached. The handle is offset towards one end so that when your guitar is inside the case balances out perfectly. The included Velcro attachments are easy to use and help support and secure your guitar while in transit. The case is very well priced for such a well built hard shell case. Five stars to Thomann for delivering the case from Germany to the UK faster than most UK companies would deliver to me. The case has a very soft lining inside and when the different shape support pieces are placed inside, I felt my guitar was very safe and secure. There is an very generous size accessory compartment inside the case to keep your strap, picks and accessories. Overall I am very happy with this case and I will shortly be purchasing another one.

bought this for a guitar i had but foolishly i did not check my dimensions properly. didnt fit my guitar. oops. the case is well made and comes complete with all the necessary inserts. also has protective paper inside so you can shuffle said inserts until you find the right combination. once found, remove paper and velcro holds the inserts in place . it is worth noting that the case is long compared to a standard case.

Fitting most weird shaped guitars
PsychoAndy 27.04.2017
This thing is really huge!
But it's the only one I found that could fit my B.C. Rich Warlocks!
I used it for a V too: removable pads can fit many different shapes, even the biggest ones, and none will ever move inside the case!
Padding is really good, providing perfect protection for our beloved guitars.
There's a usefull wide "drawer", its only "negative" thing is it lays under the guitar neck, so it can't be opened while the guitar lays in.
Another negative fact is you will need some space where to store the removable pads you're not using, unless you will use this case for only one single shape so you may just thraw them away.

Versatile and strong
Anonymous 31.05.2016
If you own 2 or 3 differently shaped guitars and you want to optimize your investments for all the cases to bring with... this is the right product for your needs. (I use this Gator GW for my BC Rich and Epiphone Flying-V + my Explorer)

Strong case outside, very versatile inside thanks to the foams letting your flying-V / explorer / warlock perfectly fitting inside.

Very reliable handles and grip too.

I recommend this product and Thomann's e-shop to get it.

I have used this case for gigs for a while and all I can say is that it's a very solid one and can handle a lot of beating .

Possibilities!
Anonymous 18.07.2014
If you're one of them that have one of those more extreme models of guitars that doesn't fit in regular cases, then this case should work. I have an LTD EX400BD that I was unable to find a budget price hard case for and after ordering this and fitting it to the guitar, it does the job well! There's good protection for the guitar once in the case and it wasn't a hassle getting all the fitting done.

Something that was somewhat disappointing, but still realistically accepted is the quality of the build itself. Since the case doesn't cost that much I didn't have too high expectations, but it didn't really feel a 100% solid at the 3 locks but it still does keep the case together.

A good case for a low amount of cash. If you're looking for quality, I'd go up in price range.

Ideal for extreme guitars!
Ypnovatis 24.01.2019
I bought this case for my explorer guitar.
It took me a while to assemble the case according to the shape of my guitar, but once it was ready, it was steady as a rock! The built quality is amazing and there is also lots of space for your cables, strings etc. It is a bit big to carry around but it holds your guitar safely. So:

Pros:
Very well made
Holds steadily your guitar
Lots of space inside for strings, cables etc

Cons:
A bit heavy
It can be a bit difficult assembling the case according to the shape of your guitar

Overall:
Highly recommended! It gets the job done, once assembled.

Very good.
Imaginary 30.10.2018
This is the case you want to get when no other case can store your guitar.
It is a bit heavy but surely protects the instrument inside. It has multiple options due to the foam pieces, regardless of the shape of your instrument and it comes with a little box to keep your picks and whatever else you need!
You're not going to use all of the foam pieces, obviously, so you end up with plenty to spare but it's better than have little options and end up with something that puts unecessary pressure on your guitar or keeps it loose when moving the case.
