About this item

Gator GWE-EXTREME Hard-Shell Wood Case for Thunderbird Bass Guitars

Playing an extreme shaped guitar such as the Gibson Flying V, Explorer or Dean ML takes skill and a lot of hard work but finding a case to keep it safe in shouldn’t. Gator’s GWE-EXTREME is custom designed to fit radically shaped guitars of all different shapes and sizes without breaking the bank. The GWE Lightweight Hard-Shell Series is a perfect solution for storing and taking your guitar wherever you go. The series is built from heavy-duty plywood wrapped in a rugged Telex PVC plastic providing a safe, water resistant home for your unique guitar. The plush fabric interior lining cushions the every point and angle to protect from bumps and bruises. Storage for strings, picks, capos and accessories will not be an issue with the interior storage compartment built into the interior neck stabilizing section. Chrome plated lockable latches keep your precious guitar safe and sound while the comfortable ergonomic handle makes it easy to grab-and-go. When it comes to unique protection at a great price, other cases simply can’t compete.

  • Fits Gibson Flying V, Explorer and various odd-shaped guitars. Interior Dims: Body Length: 24" Body Height: 2" Lower Bout Width: 17" Middle Bout Width: 17" Upper Bout Width: 17" Overall Length 48"
  • Ultra-durable plywood construction with Black Telex PVC covering stands up to years of use and abuse
  • Ergonomic handle offers a comfortable grip, perfectly balancing the weight of your instrument
  • Thick plush lining keeps your guitar cushioned against impact
  • Spacious interior accessory compartment organizes all your favorite guitar accessories, while providing additional neck support
