For over 25 years, the good people at Gator Cases have been keeping our beloved instruments safe from bumps, drops, and travel mishaps great and small. This all comes together in the Gator TSA ATA Single-Cut Guitar Case, from the Frequent Flyer range. Just how tough is it? Well, let's take a look at the two acronyms in the name: The Transportation Security Administration is perhaps more familiar – and their strictness is legendary. And the Air Transport Association helped to establish a whole series of standards for safe air freight. Gator's SC Guitar Case meets all the specs of both these authorities, which pretty much says it all. Inside, it has EPS foam covered by plush black fabric, shaped to snugly fit almost any traditional single-cut guitar, such as a Les Paul, a Paul Reed Smith, or an Epiphone.
The shell of the Gator TSA ATA Molded Single-Cut Guitar Case is made from solid, military-grade polyethylene, a synthetic material that is especially designed to help absorb and deflect impact energy, keeping whatever is inside safe and sound. The four latches are built to TSA specs, so the case won't pop open by accident mid-journey. And the handle's ergonomic shape makes it suprisingly comfortable to carry, even over longer distances. Inside, there's that thick EPS foam with its plush fabric covering – so however valuable that treasured single-cut might be, it's sure to feel safe and sound.
The Gator TSA ATA Molded Single-Cut Guitar Case is perfect for anyone who likes to keep their beloved six-string close when flying – whether they're heading off on vacation or jetting around the globe on tour. And since this case meets both TSA and ATA standards, they are guaranteed not to have any trouble at the airport - that goes both for security checks and the all-too-common rough handling by baggage crews. But this case isn't just for frequent flyers – it's a great choice for anyone who wants to keep their single-cut safe, no matter how they travel, be it by plane, car, or even bike. "Built like a tank" has become something of a cliché, but for the Gator TSA SC Guitar Case, with its rugged construction and military-grade materials, it's virtually true.
Gator, or Gator Cases, is an American firm founded in 2000 by father-daughter team Jerry Freed and Crystal Morris in Tampa, Florida. Initially, Gator began with a modest range of moulded plastic guitar cases. From there, they expanded the product line to include case and bag solutions for the whole field of instruments and equipment. A wide variety is covered: Instruments, microphones, and all aspects of live performance, including lighting equipment. At the same time, products for other media areas such as photo and video are also available. All products are made of high-quality plastics, wood, textiles, and EVA materials. The Gator companies also include flight case manufacturer Viking Cases and guitar strap manufacturer Levy's Leathers Ltd., as well as Gator Rackworks and Gator Frameworks.
With the Gator TSA ATA Molded Single-Cut Guitar Case, a guitarist can rest easy, knowing their instrument is locked down and safe – whether they're taking it on a quick trip or hitting the road for an arena tour. But Gator doesn't stop there: The Thomann lineup includes a whole host of other Gator gear, with many of their premium products made in Indiana, USA. We carry a wide range of hardshell cases and gig bags, plus pedalboards that come ready with multiple power supplies, cabling, and specially designed cases. Gator also make stands, multi-stands, wall mounts for guitars and basses, and even fretwraps to mute the instrument's strings and prevent unwanted vibrations - so they've got the whole rig covered!
