Very sturdy and excellent attention to detail. Exterior is good looking and the velvet interior is lush. 10 out of 10

It is not like a Fender case, but good for the money.

This is a nice case, but was too short for my Fender Jazzmaster

Case is put together well. Latches seem to be particularly solid. The tweed, velveteen lining, and padding are all good quality. The leather on the ends of the case is thin and will pick up wear quickly if banged around or dragged across rough surfaces. But that's what gaffer's tape is for anyways. All in all, the case will take the same abuse as a more expensive case (except for the leather ends) before giving up the ghost and the instrument taking damage.The other reviews stating the case being a little long for a strat/tele are correct. It's the perfect length for a jazzmaster I had in the rack that needed a case, so no biggee on my end.Worth the 89 clams I spent on it.

[UPDATE JAN 2024] * I bought five (5) of LYKOS’s rectangular hard shell cases with the microgroove flat yellow tweed exterior and the plush rose red interior. They hold the guitar at an angle which makes more room for an extended accessory cubby with a lid. This configuration includes the removable full length neck support box. * I prefer the full neck support and there’s plenty of room for a cable, strings, multi tool, stand, and picks in the cubby, and the strap and lock washers on the guitar. * There is no excess bulk, and therefore no excess weight. They stack well and have a minimal footprint. So they’re great for safekeeping your guitars at home. * A certain other company is accredited with another version of these cases, but that company has a reputation for overcharging for everything. Meanwhile these cases from Lykos are so good, it made me chuckle. And this is a phenomenal price! * The structure is very conducive to installing magnetic induction lighting. I like when an automatic refrigerator light comes on every time I open a case. It’s very handy in the shadows just off the stage. * Some of the club circuit players in my area had cases like these, so they set off kind of a Pavlovian reaction in me. Somehow these cases make me feel more like an established musician. * These are great clubbing cases; not for rigorous distance travel. So these cases are everything you need until you hear the word, “boarding”. And that’s a word even taxicab and Uber drivers don’t say.[ORIGINAL REVIEW] Celebrating here. Black Friday. Amazing deal. The Seller is unbelievably patient, super helpful, first rate, high class, old school, professional to the max. Can't say enough good things about Lykos. And the product is the traditional tweed guitar case. I count at least seven possible interior configurations and at least three possible exterior color schemes. One of my favorites is the white tweed case with chocolate brown end-sleeves and the emerald green interior. But that one was lacking the optional long-length neck support box. (It was Ginger, but I liked Mary Ann.) And Lykos has that case. Traditional yellowish tweed, brown end-sleeves, and a deep rose-red, plush interior. And I'm looking at what made this country great. So I did the math: [ Cool Seller ] + [ Black Friday ] + [ traditional cases ] + [ $89 bargain price ] = [ FIVE! Sold, American! ] Everything with the Seller went as smooth as a satin finish on a guitar neck, so I'll always be grateful to Lykos. They alone took extra good care of me.

I love this case. It is put together well and fits my Strat perfectly. There’s a pretty good sized storage compartment for cords, picks, etc. It does require unscrewing the whammy bar to fit correctly, but that fits fine in the storage compartment.

This case is awesome, fantastic any other superlative I can think of and wonderful for the price. I recieved the wrong case the first order I did and thanks to Amazon CS or Lycos CS ,I re-ordered and now have the ST high grade case. No, it's not the ultra expensive mother company one but it's 95 to 98% close enough and for the price point, its blows the other away. I highly recommend this case.

Case is made from fairly thin wood of some type. The “tweed” covering looks good and feels durable and the stitching is well done. I did already find one area that was not glued down properly but should be fairly easy to repair. It is a tight fit width wise for my Strat but there is still some padding left to protect it. Length is fine. Hardware is pretty good and the interior fabric is nice and well done. Obviously this isn’t a touring road case but will work great for my needs as storage in my recording studio when guitar isn’t being used. I would have given the case 4 stars but the loose covering lowers it to 3 stars because I don’t know how long before the rest of it comes loose.
