Few years ago I visited Thomann store. I was on my way to vacation to Croatia and me and my family made a nice break, had some shopping and enjoyed the great food at the restaurant just outside the store on a hot summer day. Among other things I saw another guitar case ( not this one) and asked the seller if my Gretsch Electromatic would fit inside and he said "Yes". Then, still with a little doubt in my mind I asked him if he would be kind to find an electromatic guitar ( same as I had) and try to put it in the case. When we tried that it showed that it was not the case. The guitar wouldn't fit in the guitar case. Just in the moment I was to give up I saw this case for ES guitar and asked if we can try it again and to my surprise it fits perfectly. It is even better that Gretsch original case because it is much smaller, but still strong enough to protect the guitar from numerous falls I put my Gretsch trough during all these years.
The case is very light and strong. It has the classic look and it is built for touring. I used it for some five years and then it got stolen but thanks to the Thomann archive function I could go and look for the model of my old case and order just the same model as the old one.
The new one was with me on the tour to Russia, Ukraine and Germany and survived all the flights without a scratch. Even if it is just a half of size of a original Gretsch case I have space for the guitar ( Gretsch Electromatic) reverb pedal, acdc adapter, reserve strings, tuner, picks, shaving water, deo and a little towel. If I could open my guitar and store a bottle of whisky it would be perfect, but I love it anyway.
