Thomann Western Guitar Case 12

I bought this case to give a more suitable home to my trusted old Eko Ranger 12 stringer which is in surprisingly good condition despite only ever living in soft cases since the late 70s. With this in mind and knowing it will not travel far in this case i opted for this one due to its price.
If you are looking for a budget case for a similar sized Dreadnought guitar you cant really go wrong with this case however don't expect much with the finish.
The vinyl between lower or back of the case and the side panels of the case is no more than a glued overlap there is no finishing strip or binding to finish the joint so if you are going to use this repeatedly in and out of a car or worse a van this is a weak point and would soon catch and pull the vinyl off. Light use I don't think will be a problem as it is well glued.
The five catches between the lid and the body are ok, two of which are lockable although don't trust these as the key is no more than a thin piece of flat metal with nothing that looks like a key edge to them, very cheap and nasty, you can get them open with a small electrical screwdriver!
Inside is plush and my particular guitar sits in nice and snug with good neck support and it has an internal storage box for your strap and tuner etc.
So over all a reasonable case at a reasonable price depending on how you are going to use it, occasional light use with a reasonable priced guitar go for it but if you are going on tour with your favourit Martin then go for a much more expensive case.

When it comes to live gigging, cases are often well tested for durability. This case has proven itself to me by taking a beating over the last couple of years while gigging. It is still going strong, No cracks and the hardware is still functioning like the day I got it (barely even a scratch). I would trust this case with any guitar no matter what the price.
The only downside is that it is a bit bulky and can be hard to handle sometimes. But don't worry i can assure you if you hit something it wont the case or guitar that is damaged.
I reckon this is a must if you are planning on taking your guitar out of your house if you want peace of mind. In my opinion gig bags just aren't in the same league. This case offers much better value.

I highly recommend this product, great value for money!

One of the best solutions for your western guitar.
I just receive it and realise that the case is a very solid construction and promise the absolutely protection of crashes and humidity. For me it is a very important thing as i'm a "by-mistake-destroyer". The inner cover is made of a soft and cuddly material witch is very friendly to your instrument.
Also there's a small -but big enough- pocket in the inside where you can store your picks, cables, cleaning stuff ,etc.
Easy to curry. Suitable for traveling as you can lock it and make it safer by stealing or damaging.Very impressive in sight,too!
All of them with less than 70¤ and that's a big deal as well!


strongly recommended.
