Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It appears to be of good quality. Plastic on the outside, plush on the inside. Reliability How has it stood up over time?

Schecter appears to have 2 different interiors to this case or changed it sinnce the first one I bought has a BLUE interior and the second has a RED interior. The amount of storage space is amazing as well. There are 3 good sized compartments... I'm able to carry a tuner, earplugs in case, strap, Q3HD camcorder with A/C and tripod, Behringer cable tester, extra strings, picks, neck tripod, guitar tool... and there is space for more!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? For a manufacturer-branded case in the $100 retail price range, it's good. It will protect your Schecter if you don't let something drastic happen to it. For instance: drop the case ;) drop the case down a flight of stairs onto concrete :( park your butt on the case ;) park your bus on the case :( pick up the case with one of the latches locked ;) pick up the case with none of the latches locked :( I believe you get the idea. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It's a Gator case. I have had many Gator cases. A few have failed (nothing drastic, and certainly nothing systemic), but Gator made it right without as B.S. I have to give it to their customer service, they do stand behind their products. I don't envision anything going wrong if I treat it as well as I treat my other cases. Overall Your general opinion of this product. This is a good case - not great - but it is good. It is nearly identical to a basic Gator case, expect the interior has been custom cut to fit (tightly) a C-series Schecter, including a Damien Elite 8-String. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The case is balanced when a guitar is inside. Other than that, see "Sound", above. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? See "Sound", above. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? It's nicely finished, with a gloss black color and deeply formed lettering stating "Schecter Guitar Research". The valance and all of the hardware (except for the feet) are black. Impressive... Action How was the action out of the box? Unlike what others have written, the valance on my case fits together perfectly when the case is closed, and the latches are as good as any other case's latches in the $70 to $90 range (the extra $10 for this case goes towards the custom interior, so it's a fair comparison). Lastly, a Damien Elite 8-String actually does fit in this case. It is very snug, so you have to push the guitar down in the four corners of the guitar's body, but once you do, it's fine. The neck does lay a little bit above the neck channel in the case, but when the case is closed, I can find not evidence that the neck has been forced backwards. Yes, I actually tested the case for this (I work in military quality control/failure analysis and am familiar with these techniques), so this not merely a "guess".

This is a very nice case. Nice velvety insides. Perfectly shaped for your Schecter guitar. I fit a Blackjack ATX c7 in mine and it has plenty of room at the top of the head stock so over sized guitars are not a problem. I love the pockets and there is plenty of room to put just about what ever you want to carry in one. Even an extra cord. I have my guitar, 2 pocket tuners, a set of strings, strap wrenches, (screw drivers, wirecutters etc) a cord and picks with no problems. Love it!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Extremely well made! Reliability How has it stood up over time? Overall Your general opinion of this product. The case is just excellent looking but looks are secondary to good protection. Luckily this case cradles my Schecter Damien 6 like a baby. It's a perfect fit allowing for no shifting, movement or strain. The case is extremely sturdy too. You could body slam your guitar in this case and it would be fine. Also there is plenty of compartment space for cables, straps, tuner and whatever else you might expect to carry in a case. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky?
