De muy buena calidad. Es la versión thinline que queda muy bien para guitarras más delgadas. Lo compré para una guitarra Epiphone SST Classic, sólo puse un trapo de microfibra abajo para ajustar bien la profundidad y quedó muy bien. Mejor que la versión SBK-3

Fits a Yamaha ATX600FM thinline body perfect, head to toe. With no room to wiggle around. I bought it used in "Very Good " condition listed - it looks brand new to me. The shipping box was torn/damaged but well packed with big bubble wrap and case itself looked pristine. Very lightweight if you ask me and comfy to carry around. Looks very well built to protect your instrument.

I have a La Patrie Arena from Godin Guitars, and they don’t make a proper hard shell case for it. I bought this case knowing it would be a bit too deep based on the measurements. Luckily, Access Cases makes some great case padding for hard-to-fit guitars (check out their website). With their “large flat pad” under the lower bout, my guitar has all the support it needs and the case fits it like a glove. The case is sturdy, the lining is soft, the clasps are strong, and the storage compartment under the neck has room for a few essentials. I’m a happy customer.

Perfect fit! It great, fits the thin line guitar like a well worn glove. Storage space is big enough for extra strings, picks and a Roadie 2 tuner. Going to be using this for storage at home and when I travel. The lining is excellent and the padding looks like it will give a lot of protection. Loving it so far.

Guitar case is good but I've ordered 3 (not from the same vendor) and they all had messed up latches or they didn't close right.

Ideal para guitarras de caja estrecha tipo Ibanez GA5TCE AM, clásica electrificada y también la Crafter CT 125 C-N Slim Body Classical Electro-Acoustic without sound hole. Su aspecto más relevante, aparte de un buen acabado interior y exterior, con departamento para accesorios incluido, es el peso. De este tipo de estuches, es el más ligero que conozco: solo 3,6 kg. Vale igual para guitarras Cutaway, como de forma convencional, siempre que sean de cuerpo estrecho. Una buena compra.

This is a nice case and that is why I'm giving it four stars. However, although you may have seen the listing on this case noting it as "frequently bought together" with the Jameson Full Size Thinline Acoustic Electric Guitar, the Jameson just noted WILL NOT FIT in this case. I like the case and that's why I gave the four stars. The description on Amazon should include specific measurements for the interior compartment to ensure your guitar will fit before purchasing and then, potentially, having to return the case. Disappointing.

If you have an R.W. Jameson Acoustic Electric guitar (this one: http://www.amazon.com/Thinline-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar-Picks/dp/B003YVPELM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430355311&sr=8-1&keywords=acoustic+electric), this case will NOT fit. I only wish I had known that before buying. It's a really nice case though, durable and strong with some good latches and pockets. Since I don't want to go through the trouble of returning this and then buying a case that's TOO big (and then finding a way to make sure it doesn't rattle), I'm just going to take out half of the lining and cut some of the foam away. It sucks, but hey, I'm willing to do the work.It's a really good case, I just wish there was more information out there. Hope this at least helps anyone else who may be looking. The amount of foam to cut really isn't that much, but not many people would want to do what I'm doing. Otherwise, I'd say keep searching.

I was looking for a better case other than the Ibanez painted logo wood with black vinyl covering. I have had SKB cases before so I thought I would search online for it. Searching online extensively I learned that it is near to impossible to find a SKB case that specifies it fitting the Ibanez AEG-20II. I then called SKB and they said the SKB-3 is the one that fits. I felt like its a better case than the Ibanez vinyl considering I have heard nothing but cheap remarks about the Ibanez's construction and finish. This case is close to the same price and much better made.The case: This is the SKB-3. If you have searched as hard as I have you finally found it. After speaking with SKB they said this case is the correct one. Well they were right. It fits the guitar perfectly to a T like the guitar in the picture. No gaps for the guitar to shift to. No tight fit of the lid due to depth issues. Its really like a glove. I hope this helps. After I did find the case it was difficult to read any reviews because no one commented on it over the few websites that did have it. Oh SKB did say this case will fit all AEG series guitars. Buy it and enjoy.

I bought this case for a Samick Greg Bennett Design Gold Rush Series Acoustic Guitar Model ST91, the little guitar with the really big name. It fits perfectly. This case is from SKB's Economy line, so don't expect the shell to be as thick as their regular line of hard cases. That's OK if you have an economy guitar, as the case won't cost more than the guitar. If you're looking for something safer than a padded gig bag but lighter weight than a deluxe plywood/vinyl case, this is it, but you might want to think twice before checking in a priceless old parlor guitar at the airline check-in baggage.This case is listed on the SKB website as 1SKB-3 not SKB-3, and the proper name for it is "Thin-line Acoustic / Classical Economy Guitar Case"... but I guess the word "economy" is not a big selling point here. I put the maximum instrument dimensions below so you can check if it fits your guitar without digging through the internets.Instrument Maximum DimensionsBody Length: 19.50 in (49.53 cm)Body Depth: 4.50 in (11.43 cm)Lower Bout: 15.00 in (38.10 cm)Upper Bout: 11.50 in (29.21 cm)Interior Length: 40.25 in (102.24 cm)
