Open Box Gator Martin 000 Acoustic Guitar Wood Case Level 1 Black

I've had a 1995 Martin 0001 I bought new and never had a case for as it stayed on a stand in the music room. I ordered a Gator case for an uke and knew the quality so I snagged this. Unbelievable quality for great price!

Perfect fit for my Martin 000 guitar. Storage component makes it easy to store capo, picks, slide, and other accessories as well.

I bought this case blemished so I was expecting scuff marks, maybe light cut or torn lining, but when I opened it, the area where the headstock was cracked and the lining was cut. I could've returned it since I was only saving $10 for being a blemished item, but I figured what the heck I'll super glue it. The super glue worked, but I do not know if it will eventually fail. Only time will tell and the guitar wouldn't be in any real danger of being damaged. But I do have to say, that blemished shouldn't be damaged and should be sold as such. The other thing that just happened is the tab for the compartment inside ripped off. As we all know, it takes little force to open that top. So now I'm going to drill out the rivet and screw a small bolt and nut with a new insert that I will cut out (leather). At this point not worth the $10 discount. The case itself is sturdy and will protect the guitar it looks like but based on this, I wouldn't say it is the best. One last thing, in reading the questions someone asked if it would fit a Fener Hellcat and there is a reply that it will not because it is a dreadnought. The person answering is wrong, the Hellcat is a concert (000) size guitar and this case is for a concert (000) size guitar. I bought this case for a Hellcat myself, so yes it will fit a Fender Hellcat.

I wasn't 100% certain that this would fit, so I was very relieved when my MX430 slid firmly into place. I appreciate the folding compartment beneath the neck, giving small accessories a place to be without risking them floating free and doing damage in transit. Well worth the investment.

I always store my guitars in a case. I bought one that didn't come with a case, so...I needed one. Great fit and finish. Fits my RO-328 like a glove. Now, I rarely take my guitars traveling, and when I do it's in my own car. I can't say how well this would hold up to careless TSA agents or baggage handlers who stopped caring 2 hours into their shift. It feels good and solid. I can't tell you much more than that. Feels like I got a good deal for my $$$.

The Martin 000 fits like a fist in a "wise guy's" eye. I would recommend Gator© brand guitar cases to anyone. Very satisfied.
