Perfect case for an Electromatic Jet
I couldn't decide between this and some other slightly cheaper cases, but in the end went with this as the Electromatic Jet is not quite a "standard" size compared to say a Les Paul and was afraid it wouldn't fit securely enough in other cases.
I'm happy with this case, quality feels good, solid, everything lines up perfectly and the latches are of good quality as well.
One minor complaint is that the padding at the bottom of the case could be slightly thicker to accomodate for the strap button, as it tends to push through the padding and hit the case itself. In general the padding is good but could be a little thicker for a tighter fit.
The storage compartment is nice to have, could be a bit bigger though but it's large enough for some spare strings, a cable, maybe a small pedal, but for instance my thick leather strap won't fit.
Also wish there was a "silver" option with silver latches and logo as you see on their other cases for the bigger models, would fit so much better with the silver buttons and pickups on the Jets :)

Very good quality for the price
I got this case for my Gretsch G5655TG. It's a perfect fit.
It's not the cheapest case out there but it's actually less expensive than most "big guitar brand" cases of similar quality. At least if you buy it from Thomann. I've seen these cases for twice the price at other stores.
The quality is very good. It's not quite the superb quality of say Hiscox cases but better than most cheaper options.
The latches are very good quality. MUCH better than the ones they use on the cheapest "store brand" guitar cases. There is no lock but you can use a pad lock on one of the latches. I guess this could matter to some people but a padlock is actually far more secure, if perhaps slightly more hassle (and the possibility to lock the case with the key inside...).
The lid lines up perfectly with the case and everything seems very sturdy. Not quite as sturdy as some of the more expensive molded cases but very good for an old school, vintage style case. I wouldn't use a case like this for air travel but for most other situations it should be fine. I could easily throw this case into the back of a van and not worry too much about it.
There is a reasonably sized compartment for accessories inside the case. Unlike some cheaper cases the lid for this compartment will sit firmly in place and your accessories won't escape and scratch your guitar.
The weigh is acceptable. Not quite as light as some of the more expensive options made from modern, synthetic materials but lighter than many of the cheaper options.
The handle isn't quite as comfortable as the type they use on Hiscox cases but then again, nothing is (at least for MY hands). Still, with a light guitar like the G5655TG this isn't really a problem at all.
The case even smells nice. It has that vanilla-ish smell that you also get from Fender's vintage style cases. It's certainly better than that "toxic chemicals" smell you often get with cheaper cases.
Highly recommended if you need a case with a tight fit for a suitable Gretsch model.

Great case ! Fits gretsch g2210 like a glove.
This case is s great compagnion for the g2210.
Once I received the G2210 with it’s new gretsch pickups I had to have the case.
It’s here, it’s awesome and people... have one too!
It’s THE case for your Gretsch and you should not be without it.
Ps, researched a review wich said this case does not fit the g2210. All I can say. This new case does and it may have had a slight mod. Since they introduced the g2210. It’s at a great price. It comes very well packed. And with gretsch stamped on it you’ll immideatly will know wich instrument is yours if packed somewhere in the dark during a (jam) session. Get yours Now!

Got it with my fresh Gretsch and it fits there perfectly.
No lock, but who needs 'em? Has a hinge so you can use your own if you need.
Standart handle, quite normal. Placed good, case with guitar has good balance in your hand.
Not very stable in vertical.

Fancy case for Gretsch guitars
The case looks fantastic, the guitar fits perfectly (Gretsch G5435T) and has a good balance when carried. It has an internal compartment for storing accessories. Great to keep everything safe.

Perfect fit !!
I bought this case with my new Gretsch Project G5345. It's a perfect fit and pretty light too. I particularly like the metal appointments on the bottom of the case (when you lie it down) - much better than plastic. A great case and it has the Gretsch logo too,

Perfect fit for a G5425.
It's difficult to find a case that realy fits the Gretsch G5425.
Maybe a little expensive but ... whenever she falls...
Thanks to Thomann for the fast delivery.

Very useful
I thought that I have a problem with the case, because the Bigsby is under pressure when the case is closed. But it's not a big trouble because there is a spring that takes the pressure.
The quality is not excellent, it is good.
