1SKB-8 Acoustic Dreadnought Economy Guitar Case Review

It fits the Martin Dss17!!!

Very good case. I wanted a hard case instead of the beautiful soft case the Dss17 came with. Cases for the Dss17 are very confusing and hard to fit properly.I tried my two other dread cases first and were way too tight. I spoke with Ben Stein (salesman) and explained my problem. He listened and understood. He gave me some options and I jumped.i was skeptical but felt good about… read more his research. Well, he definitely proved me wrong and I was so happy for the Martin's new home. Just so you know people who deal with Martin guitars have a bit of trouble sizing a case for this model. Thank you Ben!

Perfect Match For My Cort Gold Series D8 Dreadnought in Lightburst

Being an owner of 9 Epiphone guitars ( 4 Les Pauls, 4 Masterbilts and 1 bass) - each of which is kept inside an Epiphone premium hardshell case, I had already expected that I would again get an Epiphone hardshell case when my newest guitar arrives - a Cort Gold Series D8 Dreadnought in Lightburst gloss finish. And the Cort D8 did look nice and at home inside an Epiphone EDREAD case.… read more But, something was telling me that it was not a match, if you know what I mean. So, I started looking around. Unfortunately, I could not find a hardshell case that says CORT on the outside. So, I expanded my search to include other brands. And based on product reviews, this SKB 1SKB-8 came on top. So, I ordered one on-line. When it finally arrived, I was both nervous and excited as I was not exactly sure how this case would interact with my Cort guitar. The case came well-packed. Once unpacked, the SKB 1SKB-8 was definitely different. It looked sleek and modern with rounded contours which I like. It was also shorter and lighter. Opening the case, I noticed that the latches were snappy and well-placed. The deluxe plush lining exuded class. The foam interiors were rigid. The full neck support for me was a big plus. When I finally nestled my Cort guitar inside the case for the first time, the guitar just naturally and comfortably laid down. That's when I knew that I made the right choice. It was a perfect match! And here's a bonus. I never thought that the 1SKB-8's green interior will complement the Cort D8's blue-green Abalone rosette and Abalone inlays that are found on the headstock, fingerboard & bridge pins. When something unexpected like that happens, it's the best feeling!!!

Well-built quality case. Can’t ask for more.

This was featured as a certified fit for my new Masterbilt Frontier, and with the recommendations of friends and loved ones - I ordered it knowing that the quality service from the Sweetwater Team would deliver. I received it in 2 days, which is amazing. I also received a call from the sales engineer Jon K., which is a very thoughtful touch to the first-time customer experience.… read more The case itself exudes quality and durability. I'm looking forward to using this case for years to come, and to doing business with Sweetwater again.

Excellent dreadnought guitar case

My daughter was given an old Dreadnought guitar from her grandmother and it's a great guitar that needed a case to protect it, so I turned to Sweetwater to find a guitar case for the acoustic guitar. Chris was very helpful in helping me figure out which case would work for her guitar's measurements. He had me take the measurements and I gave him a photo of the guitar as well,… read more and he gave me a list of cases that would fit this guitar. I chose this case and we're very pleased with it. the inside lining truly protects the guitar and it gives it a snug fit, and the case itself is hardy, that we know it will protect the guitar for years to come. It comes with its little storage bin that's inside the case, below the neck of the guitar. Great for putting extra strings, guitar picks, etc. All in all, a very pleasant purchase. Great for the money. Even better, having Chris McCown and Sweetwater help us choose the right gear!
