Thomann E-Guitar Case ABS
Anonymous 05.02.2015
I purchased this case for a Danelectro DC59 guitar, I couldn't find a case listed specifically for the Danelectro but the sizes online looked correct.
I already own one of the "Thomann E-Guitar Case Tweed" cases and have been pleased with it but it's a little neat for the Danelectro, this ABS case is a better fit, holding the guitar snugly with little movement.
The interior lining is soft black fur and provides a nice scratch fee environment for your guitar.
Standard Telecasters or Stratocasters, I have tried both a Fender AVRI '52 telecaster and a Fender Classic. Player 50's stratocaster and they fit but there is a little extra room for them to move around inside, personally I like a neater fit but it's fine on a "universal fit" case and the slightly wider Danelectro fits fine.
The case is fairly good quality for the price, it is a more robust case than the thomann tweed case and certainly a better choice if carrying outside where there is chance it will get wet, it's not a waterproof case but the ABS will turn a light shower better than the tweed case which tends to soak up the rain.
The black ABS is discrete and modern in contrast to the tweed cases vintage vibe, the case reminds me of the older and lighter ABS fender cases from the 1990's only not quite as substantial.
Outside you have three latches, (the middle latch locks), and the off set carry handle, it's a fairly light case and is easy to carry, handle isn't the strongest or most comfortable but it's controllable especially with the light weight Danelectro inside, it a great match for this guitar but if your carrying the case a lot then the handle may not be the best.
Another benefit with the ABS case is I find it slides better than the tweed or leatherette style cases which want to snag on everything, getting it in and out of the car is easier, the rounded corners also helps here.
Its a light duty case, offering considerably more protection than a gig bag, I am happy to use his case at home and for travelling by car, it's not a flight case but I would use it anywhere I would use any factory fender or gibson case and I am confident it will provide adequate protection for my instrument.
I have used heavier duty cases in the past but unless they are really necessary I find them to be a nuisance, hard cases and square corners do offer your guitar greater protection but they are harder to carry and hard on your car or home environment, I think this is a good compromise between protection and usability but for more serious use I'd want a stronger and tougher case.
One area that I feel lets the case down slightly are its internal storage compartments, you have two internal storage compartments separated by the guitar neck support, plenty of room for case candy, spare strings, strap, lead etc but they really would benefit from lids, small items like plectrums, allen keys, trem arm, spare batteries for my tuners etc, all slip out of the compartments and obviously can do a lot of damage to your instrument, you need to place all small items in a larger container or bag, I think this is the only area that needs to be improved.
To sum up this is an excellent little case at the price, in my opinion it is better valve for money than the other popular thomann cases, (Thomann E-Guitar Tweed or BK Wood cases), it is a little more expensive but well worth it for the extra protection and improved ergonomics, the other case only win if you want a retro vibe.

Nice fit for a Strat, cheap but decent quality.
TrEr 07.05.2021
I got this for my Strat. Basically for storage in my studio.

This case was listed as suitable for Strat+Tele and NOT suitable for any other styles of guitars ("double cut", "single cut", etc.).

It was a more or less a perfect fit for my Strat. The build quality is ok. Not sturdy enough that I would ever consider it for air travel but more than adequate for throwing it into the back of a van.

The clasps feel great, not too loose like on another Thomann case I purchased.

The only real negative is that the compartment for accessories doesn't have a lid. It's only sealed close when you close the case itself and it's not a very tight fit. Small items can get into the main compartment and scratch your guitar, which really is a shame as apart from this it's a really nice case for the price.

I also tested the case with some of my other guitars:

-Yamaha Revstar (double cut) was a perfect fit! I can't really say if this means it would work with an SG but it should be pretty close.

-Harley Benton DC Junior: Yes but it wasn't a very good fit and the inside would have to be padded with some foam or towels to avoid the guitar rattling around inside the case.

-Offset Tele (Jazzmaster body): No but it looked like a standard Tele would fit nicely.

-Gretsch G5655TG (double cut, similar body size to Les Paul): No, the guitar was simply too long for this case.

To sum it up:

This case delivered as advertised and for my needs I'm very happy with it. It's not the most sturdy case out there but I would probably trust it for most situations except air travel. Just be careful what you put into the accessories compartment as the contents MIGHT slip into the main compartment and damage the finish on your guitar.

Useful hard case
Tannhauser 10.12.2022
I never tested this case for shipping something in it, or even transport a guitar locally for a longer distance (a train ride for example). I never dropped one nor spilled water on it, so I don't really know how they respond to that. But I did buy them to help me sell instruments and also store instruments at home in good conditions and they do the job perfectly.

Comparison review of 3 different Thomann Cases
SukiB 13.01.2020
I bought 3 different cases for my Stratocasters, in order to determine which was best to buy further purchases. This is order to store my very large collection of Strats which do not have cases. This might be useful for those making a choice between these products.

The products I purchased were: Thomann E-Guitar Case Tweed (€58), Thomann E-Guitar Case ABS (€55), and Thomann E-Guitar Case BK Wood (€48).

Here I am reviewing the Thomann E-Guitar Case ABS (€55). Please read my other reviews for the other products for comparison.

First of all, they are all fantastic value for money. Nothing else even comes close, so well done to Thomann.

The quality of the ABS case was very high. The case interior features a compartments but no hinged lid as with the others I bought, and is a real design issue if you need to store items like a tremolo arm etc. It will simply fall out into the rest of the case. This was the least favourite of the 3 cases I bought. But this is not a poor reflection on this case. It's still good value and It's only because I liked the Thomann E-Guitar Case BK Wood so much that it overshadowed the others for my purpose and also for price.

One thing about this case it it is very lightweight. If I had to carry one of these cases for any distance, I would choose this one.

Looks Nice but Not Enough Padding
MrPersonality 25.06.2022
This case has a plush lining and the fit of the odd-shaped Harley Benton RB-612 (12-string) in this case is acceptable. However, there is insufficient padding to protect the guitar from the usual banging around that a hardshell case is subjected to. I ordered this because I knew this guitar would fit in this case, and I knew it would be a laborious process to find a case for my guitar once the 12-string arrived in the US. It was value priced, as most ABS cases in the US go for a minimum of $125 plus local taxes. I have no regrets with this purchase.

O
Light and just above basic, but gets the job done!
Ollipoppin 23.02.2023
As multiple other people have stated, it's light, and on the cheap side, but doesn't feel flimsy.

Is it "the ultimate guitar case OMG must have 10/10 IGN recommends"? Well, no. But it's a good case for the price, and it will keep your guitar protected along with its accessories.

Just mind that the 2 inner pockets are without a dedicated closing lid (not an issue of mine), and last but not least the measurements of your instrument. In my case (pun intended) it perfectly fit both a tele, an Ibanez S770FM, or my Solar A1.6 with no wiggle room left.

Regarding the smell: I don't find it particularly unpleasant, it's that "freshly unpacked" kind of odour, just leaving it open for a couple hours will probably fix it for most people.
Your mileage might vary if you're sensitive to this kind of thing, I guess.

Overall nice case, I don't know how comfortable I'd be about plane shipping it, but definitely recommended for a "lighter use" or storage.

Rock LEE 02.01.2020
Use
It is mainly used in churches.
It is also a big church in Korea, so many people see products.


Clarity
All in all, I like the design and the weight.

pros & cons
The weight is light and good.
The handle catches easily.
The fabric that wraps the guitar inside will protect the guitar well.

It doesn't look as hard as I thought.
The case looks fragile.
I think it would be better to put more sponge inside.
There should be a storage space cover.


Further information
You guys seem to be counting the dates except for holidays when you send them.
But Asian countries, especially Korea, include holidays.
I want you to show me the delivery date in more detail.
I bought it because it is not well-known in Korea.
Actually, my major is vocal music.
So I know a little about Germany.
I trust the products of Germany.
I will look forward to your product in the future.

A strange case that could be improved.
AlexGain 22.05.2024
I bought several guitar cases for storage and short transportation, not for everyday use in tours or from home to the rehearsal space. Specifically, I acquired this case for my ESP Mirage guitar.
The guitar body does not sit flush with the interior surface.

The neck sits unevenly in the neck channel, and most importantly, the headstock, including the tuners, hits the bottom of the case, creating an indentation and causing uneven pressure when the case is closed. I should mention that the guitar does move back and forth.

After removing the lower part and cutting away the foam where the headstock rests, it fit better. The neck settled more evenly in the groove, but the body still lies at angle.

In conclusion, after some modifications it is quite usable

Decent for the price but check your measurements.
OWM1 28.11.2023
I bought a couple of these for my guitars. The quality is expected for the price, they feel sturdy enough for long time storage but maybe not hard touring. Measure your guitar before buying, I had to send one back because my Harley Benton T was a little too long.
