Sturdy guitar case for single-cut electric guitars

Granted, a gig bag is usually perfectly adequate for transporting a guitar. Sometimes, however, a little more protection is required. For instance, when the instrument vanishes into the bottomless abyss of the tour bus among boxes and cases on the way to the gig, or if it needs to be stored under optimum protective conditions over a long period of time. The Gator GW-LP guitar case, with its extremely durable plywood design and classy brown covering made of humidity-resistant Tolex, is an affordable way to transport Les Paul-style guitars safely and store them over an extended period of time.

Custom-built for Les Paul-style guitars

The Gator product range offers a huge selection of custom-made cases for almost every type of guitar. The Gator GW-LP guitar case was developed specifically for Les Paul-style guitars and similar single-cuts and is made to accommodate instruments with this type of design. A sturdy handle has been attached to ensure that the case is perfectly balanced when carried, while the slightly arched lid provides the best possible protection for the guitar's top. The interior contains a padded and velvety-soft internal lining, providing both a perfect fit and optimum protection from scratches thanks to its soft surface and an additional cloth. Moreover, the case contains a storage compartment for important utensils such as strings, picks, and tuners.

Elegant case with a hard shell and soft core

The Gator GW-LP guitar case is suitable for all musicians with a Les Paul or a single-cut of a similar design who travel a lot and attach great importance to transporting their delicate equipment as safely as possible. Although hardly more expensive than a decent gig bag, this case offers considerably better protection and is the ideal companion for beginners on their way to a lesson and for professionals whose instruments tend to vanish underneath a mountain of band equipment on the tour bus. The sturdy handle facilitates transport in an optimally balanced position while the velvety-soft internal lining, complete with additional cloth, protects the instrument from scratches.

About Gator

Gator, or Gator Cases, is an American firm founded in 2000 by father-daughter team Jerry Freed and Crystal Morris in Tampa, Florida. Initially, Gator began with a modest range of moulded plastic guitar cases. From there, they expanded the product line to include case and bag solutions for the whole field of instruments and equipment. A wide variety is covered: Instruments, microphones, and all aspects of live performance, including lighting equipment. At the same time, products for other media areas such as photo and video are also available. All products are made of high-quality plastics, wood, textiles, and EVA materials. The Gator companies also include flight case manufacturer Viking Cases and guitar strap manufacturer Levy's Leathers Ltd., as well as Gator Rackworks and Gator Frameworks.

For the gig, the trip to the rehearsal room, or for safe storage

The GW-LP guitar case shows its potential mainly when transport requires a bit of rough handling - and that precious single-cut therefore needs to be perfectly protected. The shock-resistant outer shell made of multi-layer plywood with its durable brown Tolex covering can easily withstand even the hardest of knocks. If, on the other hand, the instrument is to be stored for extended periods in the cellar or the rehearsal room where conditions are not ideal, the case also rises effortlessly to the occasion. In this way, a guitar can be kept safe and protected from external influences over a longer period of time, embedded in soft plush. Naturally, the Gator GW-LP guitar case is also equipped with a lock to prevent unauthorised access.

Nice hardcase for an Epiphone Les Paul Special Tv Yellow

Calitox 16.11.2020

I found this case very nice, good looking and most important: affordable.

It is perfectly suitable for Les Paul Special guitars and I beleive it also is for any Les Paul guitar.

I didn't ordered this case for taking it on the road, I only needed it to keep the instrument safe at home, however I'm sure the case is capable of protecting your guitar if transportation is need it.

I painted myself an Epiphone logo in gold on one side of the case, just in the same spot the original is (which was actually lot of fun to do) and it looks amazing! far better than the original one, but just at half of the price.

Loved:
The price, the price, the price!
The general quality of the item and it's brown exterior color.
The interior pink color, the pinky fabric cover to cover the guitar inside the case
All matched nicely with the guitar in Yellow
After painted the Epiphone logo the case looks luxury and very exclusive.

Hated: Nothing, just the fact it is a generic case and did not has the brand logo on it (which I sorted painting it myself!) It can't look better now.

Conclusion: Why to spend lot of money in an expensive original Epiphone case if you are actually getting a relative inexpensive guitar? Put that extra money on better pickups, bridge, tuner machines, etc. This case does the job perfectly, and at half of the price.

It's really a great looking hard case!

I'm buying one more

I've got this marvellous piece of case for my Gibson Les Paul BFG, also acquired here at Thomann. It's such a beautiful piece of gear! The interior, best replica from original cases around. I must say that the locks are not perfectly fitted. The one in the back always gets a bit stuck and this ends up on you trying to open it twice. Is that lock really needed? Don't know. The outside is AMAZING! The texture, the finishing! I do live in Ireland at the moment, and humidity is something that worried me at the beginning since mold here is a kind of a plague, and I did not had any problems since I've got it (the original Nylon Gig Bag had problems with it). I'm about to buy a second one since we got a contest at work last year and one of our employees won a Gibson BFG just like mine. We should had ordered the case together at that time, would make things easier.

If you are buying a Les Paul, you NEED to get this case (in case your guitar don't come with one). It's not a perfect match to a Gibson Les Paul as a Gibson case is, but it is a great acquisition, and really accessible at this price.

Nice suprise..

PlayerV 16.02.2020

Great case for the price!
At first I was a little confused with the color choice until I realized, that it is quite well replicating guitar cases, that was used in the 50's.
The construction is durable. Hard tolex is covering the case from outside and it feels like it can take some damage. The padding in the case protects the guitar quite well. For my 2017 Epiphone LP it is a great fit (there is a list of compatible guitars on the manufacturer web site). The back of the guitar is supported and the neck is held very well, the guitar does not move inside the case, and there is a plenty of space around the headstock. The handle is covered with the same tolex as the whole case.
Some reviewers mention a glue smell from the case. I did not have major problem with that. Yes, when you open the case for the first time, there is some smell - like opening a new book - but after a while the smell is barely noticeable.
