This is a Fender product but like most things manufactured today is not made in the USA. That being said it does the job nicely, is aesthetically pleasing and so far I trust it to haul around my best Strat. However, also like most things time will really be the test to see how well this case holds up in the long run. For now and for the price I pd I am a satisfied customer on this particular case. Btw I purchased the black case and have a couple of inferior tweed cases bought thru a different online music company.

Very Good Case

Very good case and the tweed feels very retro. Perfect fit for my Tele and provides great protection. Not afraid that my guitar will be damaged at all. The only problem I have is one of the locking latches is a little "sticky". Maybe it will loosen up the more I use it.

Fits a Fender Strat perfectly, as you would hope! Gave this as a gift, my son loved it. The outside is very stylish. The inside is excellent too, cradles the guitar perfectly and has storage for strings, tuner, and even your guitar cord can be carefully placed beneath the headstock. Excellent value for the money.

Very nice case. I would say probably leans a little more towards form than function. Will definitely protect the strat. I maybe should have sprung a little extra for the molded plastic case. I do think this one is going to show some wear and dirt quickly when placing on the floor in clubs/practice.

This is absolutely a great case! The only reason I didn’t rate it “5 Stars’l is due to the locking mechanisms and the keys. If Fender could toughen these up and make the key stronger, this would be PERFECT..
That said, the Tweed case looks like a million dollars and gets compliments every where it goes. Then I open it up and “ Bam!”...that’s when the magic happens.....Thank You Fender for a great case, and Thank You AMS for a Super deal......

I assume it will protect my telecaster, but it's only a few weeks old. 1 of the outside latches will not stay closed after probably only 20 times being used. 2 SMALL storage compartments, neither big enough to even hold the Fender strap I purchased for the guitar. Regret buying this case.

I was looking for the USA classic cases but AMS didn't sell them for my fender strat so it was this or the red handle one I choose this, it has two small compartments instead of one larger one I prefer for cables tuners strings etc. One key lock you have to make sure the key is held in horizontal for it to work but it works. Saw on another review it don't fit left hand stratocasters pictures and all n/a to me I'm right handed. Outside of the smaller inside compartments it's not a bad case for the money I bought it right here at AMS.

I thought I was getting one of the "real" classic California Fender cases, but it ain't. It's still a nice case for the $119 and I'm keeping it (it's a gift) but if I had been expecting the real deal I would've returned it. BTW it's made in Vietnam, not California, just so you know. Looks very similar to the real thing when closed. The inside is more of a molded-type layout. As I say, fine for the $$$ but it's not the real deal.

It appears to me that these Fender cases are not the top-quality cases I was expecting.

This is a professional case. I bought it because it

Well made but this is NOT a flight case.
If you need something that will stand up to heavy
road work, you may want something beefier.
I liked the 2 inside pockets with lids.
I got what I expected and was not disappointed.
If it last as long as my other Fender cases I'll
have to replace it in about 40 years!!!

Perfect Affordable Choice
By: William
Submitted: 2/22/2014
Product Review
I bought the tweed bundled with the strap and cable. The case was packaged well and arrived undamaged. The case was bought for my telecaster. It fits very nicely around the lower bout and the neck is supported/protected with a perfect fit. The tweed really has a classy look.
As far as looks go, it is aesthetically appealing. The gold hardware adds a bit of flash. The carry handle is mounted about a half inch to the rear of true center for "my" Tele to be perfectly balanced. Since the case will work for a Strat, the Strats may be better balanced.
The overall build of the case is great. The storage compartments could be slightly larger but they are adequate. The lining of the case is a brighter red and more orangie (if there is such a word) just as other reviews have stated. This is not a flaw...just an observation. I think the weak point will be the carry handle. If it holds up to a little punishment this case will really be worth the money.
The case has two small interior storage compartments. I have picks, a tuner, and smaller items like that in there. There is space around the head stock for a strap or cable if you want.
The price point for the bundle is good and comparable to the other vendors. This is a good upgrade to any standard gig bag. Worth the investment to protect your guitar.

The case came with a bubble on the top. The tweed was coming unglued and was not fixable so I contacted AMS and they issued a return label right away. Two days later my new case shipped long before my damaged case made it back to them. The new on is good and I'm pleased with it.
Great service from AMS.
Quality is ok . The tweed is a bit thin However it's a better case than most. The fit is great and it's light to carry.
The fit is very good on my Tele.
It's a pretty good case. Not a home run value but good. I will see how it wears over time.

I bought the Tweed case and got the free tweed cable and strap. This case screens vintage rocker. I bought it along with a Vintage Blonde Telecaster Special. Carrying this guitar around in this case makes me want to go buy a Chevelle to drive around in. I was looking for a vintage look and sound. This case fulfills that request. The inside is a little more orange than the picture shows, but I love it. It was a nice surprize.
The quality seems pretty good. It could have a nicer handle. The handle is hard plastic with a molded vintage look imprinted.
It has everything you want a case to have.
I bought this along with a telecaster and was able to get a price match. So AMS knocked off the 15% and I got this case for just over 100. Worth every penny.

Your general opinion of this product.
Has that vintage look, but much lighter (poly) foam instead of plywood.
The latches line up well and lid closes tight. I would not trust an airline with it as they would trash it.
It balances well with the Telecaster inside.
The tweed is very nice and the stitching on the ends is better than cheaper cases.
I think it will last a long time with normal care.

Much better than I had heard.
Fit & finish was excellent. I just wish I had ordered the one with the tweed cable bonus......
Only a couple of weeks old, like the strat, so I will have to let you know how it holds up later.
Your general opinion of this product.
The pnly thing I would like to see different is the handle.
I would've like to have seen it wrapped & stitched instead of just the molded one, but it's still nice
I thought it looked very nice indeed but as I said, I will have to wait & see how well it holds up.
At least I got the 12 mnth extended warranty..:-)
