Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

ATA-style hard case for dreadnought-size acoustic guitars, 42-1/4 inches long with a 16-1/2 inch lower bout. For gigging and travel.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Dreadnought acoustics that outgrew a gig bag
  • Touring and van loads where cases get stacked
  • Shipping or checking a guitar with real impact protection

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Jumbo or parlor bodies — the interior is cut for one size range
  • Players wanting a light case for short walks to a lesson
  • Electric guitars, which need a different body cutout

Gator GC-335 ATA-Style Guitar Case construction detail

Detail 01

16-1/2 inch lower bout

Standard dreadnought width. Measure your guitar's widest point; a jumbo will not seat properly.

Detail 02

42-1/4 inch overall length

Covers full-scale dreadnoughts. Short-scale or parlor guitars will shift inside unless you pad them.

Detail 03

4-1/4 inch depth at bottom, 3-3/4 at top

Tapered interior matching an acoustic body. A uniformly deep guitar can bind at the upper bout.

Detail 04

13 inch upper bout

Narrow shoulders. Wider-shouldered bodies like some jumbos and 12-strings may not clear.

Detail 05

ATA-style construction

Rated for the abuse of stacking and cargo handling, unlike a molded lightweight case.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your guitar's lower bout, upper bout, and total length before ordering
  2. 02Hard cases are heavy — factor that into walking load-ins
  3. 03Loosen strings slightly for long shipping or flights to ease neck tension

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will my dreadnought fit?

If the lower bout is near 16-1/2 inches and total length is under 42-1/4 inches, yes. Measure both before buying.

02Does a jumbo acoustic fit?

Unlikely. The 16-1/2 inch lower bout and 13 inch upper bout are cut for dreadnought proportions, not jumbo bodies.

03Is this safe for airline checked baggage?

ATA-style construction is built for that handling level. Loosen the strings and confirm your airline's size limits.

04Will an electric guitar fit inside?

No. The interior is shaped around an acoustic body with a tapered depth. An electric would move around inside.
