5.0 out of 5 stars
A great case that fits well and is well made and handy., June 7, 2011
This review is from: Gator GC-MANDOLIN Acoustic Guitar Bag (Electronics)
My mandolin came with one of those inexpensive (well, relatively) black feaux-leather cases with the furry liner and cheap clasps; it was brand new and the top wouldn't close properly without putting pressure on the bridge.
So I cast about to find a replacement and came on this item. It arrived today, well packed in an oversized box and made an impression as soon as I saw it.
I'm used to using fine cases in carrying antique firearms around and wanted that kind of quality in this case and I got it in spades. The case is apparently made in the USA, though I can't find a marking either way, and is very nicely put together. The chrome-plated latches are only one step up from the cheesy gold-colored ones on the old case but at least don't look as cheap and tacky. The inner is foam-lined with the usual phony fur surface but it fits my Rover much better than did the first one.
I had thought about giving only a four-star rating thanks to the cheesy latches, but then, locks only keep out friends and any lock is only as strong as the container it secures; these are enough for this case.
All-in-all, this is a fine case for the money and I look forward to it keeping my baby safe from harm for a long time. There may be those who disagree, but I can recommend this one to anyone without reservation.
