Detail 01
4 inch to 5 inch interior depth
Cut for a thinline body. A standard 4-3/4 to 5 inch deep dreadnought will not let the lid close.

GatorGC-APX Deluxe ABS Acoustic-Electric Guitar Case for Yamaha APX models
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Molded ABS hard case cut to Yamaha APX thinline dimensions. For APX owners who want hard-shell protection in a case that actually closes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging APX players moving the guitar in a car trunk
- Owners of thin-body acoustic-electrics a dreadnought case swallows
- Long-term storage where a gig bag offers no crush protection
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-depth dreadnought or jumbo owners — body won't fit
- Players needing an ATA-rated case for checked airline baggage
- Anyone wanting the lightest possible carry; a gig bag weighs less
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
15-1/2 inch lower bout
Matches APX-width lower bouts. A 16 inch dreadnought bout binds against the sides.
Detail 03
19-1/2 inch body length
Measure heel to endpin. Longer bodies sit forward and push the headstock into the lid.
Detail 04
40-1/4 inch overall length
Covers a full-scale acoustic-electric tip to tip, so no shortened neck compartment issue.
Detail 05
Molded ABS shell
Hard plastic outer resists dings and stacked weight in a way foam-backed nylon can't.
Detail 06
Tapered depth, 4 inch bottom to 5 inch top
Follows the wedge shape of the body, so the guitar sits snug instead of shifting in transit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your guitar's body length, depth and lower bout before ordering
- 02Guitar not included; this is the case only
- 03A hard case for road and storage use, not an ATA-rated flight case
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a dreadnought fit in this?
No. The interior is 4 to 5 inches deep and 15-1/2 inches at the lower bout, shaped for a thin body. A standard dreadnought is too deep and too wide.
02What guitars does it fit?
Yamaha APX-style thinline acoustic-electrics. Compare your guitar to the interior figures: 19-1/2 inch body length, 15-1/2 inch lower bout, 4 to 5 inch depth.
03Can I check it on a flight?
Treat it as ground transport protection. It is a molded hard case, not an ATA flight case built for baggage handling.
04Is it better than a gig bag?
For impact and crush protection, yes — the rigid ABS shell holds shape under weight. A gig bag is lighter and easier to carry on your back.
