GatorGW-Jumbo Acoustic Guitar Case Black
1/10
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A hard case sized for jumbo acoustic bodies. For players whose guitar is too wide and deep for a standard dreadnought case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jumbo and super jumbo acoustics that swim in dreadnought cases
- Gigging players moving a large-body acoustic between venues
- Long-term storage of a wide-bodied acoustic
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Dreadnoughts and concert bodies, which will shift inside
- Players wanting a light case for daily walking commutes
- Anyone needing a rated flight case for checked baggage
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
5.5 inch body height
Deep enough for jumbo body thickness. That depth is also why the case takes more room in a trunk.
Detail 03
23.5 inch body length
The cavity is cut long for jumbo proportions, so the bridge and endpin sit clear of the walls.
Detail 04
13 inch upper bout
Wide at the shoulders. Guitars with narrow upper bouts will contact the sides unevenly.
Detail 05
11.25 inch middle bout
The waist is where fit is won or lost. Compare this to your guitar's narrowest point before buying.
Detail 06
44.5 inch total length
Full-size scale with room for the headstock. Measure your guitar end to end if it has an extended headstock.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your guitar's lower bout, waist and depth before ordering by body name alone
- 02A humidifier is a separate purchase for dry climates or winter storage
- 03At 44.5 inches long, check back seat and closet clearance first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a dreadnought fit in this case?
It will physically go in, but a dreadnought is roughly an inch narrower at the lower bout and will shift during transport. Use a dreadnought case instead.
02What counts as a jumbo body?
Broadly, a lower bout near 17 inches with a deep body. This case is cut for 17.25 inches wide, 23.5 inches long and 5.5 inches deep.
03Does it fit a 12-string?
If the 12-string has a jumbo body within these dimensions, yes. Measure the total length, since some 12-strings carry a longer headstock.
04Is it safe for air travel?
It is a hard case, not a rated flight case. For checked baggage a heavier road case offers more protection against handling.
