Wow!
I bought this case for my Gibson SG special 2009 that I bought second hand.
It has a good looking rough brown tolex surface. I would say it is darker than how it looks on the product page. The surface is not flat and shiny like a Gibson brown case. It is textured. I didn't notice any problem with the keyhole or that handle as mentioned as an issue on previous reviews. And inside is a gorgeous pink softness!
Pros,
- SG tightly and perfectly fits
- There are support ramps under the upper body and on top of the headstock! Details makes this case amazing!
- Golden hardware matches the brown tolex perfectly.
- Quality price ratio is unbeatable (IMHO)
- Looks very fancy
Cons
- nothing except a 1cm long peel on the tolex around the bottom edge. It is not like it is flying on air. Two parts of the tolex are not touching each other and apart around 2-3mm for 1cm long. That's all.
Overall, I am amazed with what I got for under 80 euros. It was totally a right call not to spend almost 200 on a brown Gibson case. TBH, I would be less comfortable carrying a Gibson case around as well. It would definitely attract more theft risk.
If you don't case about the brand, I would recommend getting this amazing Gator case for your SG and save lots of bucks. This is my third Gator case/gigbag and never got disappointed.
Thank you Gator and Thomann!

Good Case, not for the touring Musician
The Gator Deluxe Case Vintage is a cool case for my Gibson SGJ 2014. It looks great and keeps it safe. The case looks geat. Building quality is okay.Constuction and the "fake" Leather look very good. Downside are the only 3 locks. The seem to be not the highest quality and i try to handle them with care.
Pros:
-attractive price
-cool vintage looks
-fits the SGJ 2014 perfectly
Cons:
-quality of locks
-quality handle
If you only take your SG to gigs 2-6 Times a year and handle your guitar and case with care when going to rehearsal, the Gator Deluxe Case Vintage DC-Style offers you a good case for a good price.

Vintage case
The case is good. Has a lock and spare keys. Fits my '61 SG perfectly. Seriously, for a case this cheap, the guitar doesn't move a bit! Maybe the handle feels a little cheap. But for this price??? Absolutely worth it! The only thing is that the inside is more pink than I expected from the photos. I wish it could be more red. But, I guess, some guitar cases in the old days had this pink color in the inside. Still, it looks cool. It really looks vintage, believe me.

Ideal for Blueshawks and Nighthawks
Ordered Thursday arrived in the UK on Tuesday, interestingly DHL pass their UK deliveries to Parcelforce . The price is unbeatable; in the UK the best price I could find was £70. I offered GAK the opportunity to price match and didn?t even get a reply.
I got the case for my Gibson Blueshawk having read that Blueshawks and SGs can share the same case. After checking the fit of the Blueshawk into an Epiphone SG case at a local shop I was convinced. Howerever in the Epiphone case there is a ?lump? under the guitar body to account for the higher neck angle of the SG. Anyway the upshot was that I ordered the Gator case because it was cheaper than the Epiphone case and if need be I could change it to suit the Blueshawk. The Gator case is however perfect, there?s a bit of a gap around the upper bout but it?s a snug fit around the waist and lower bout so the guitar can?t move.
General build quality is ok. Not up to Gibson standard but nowhere near Gibson prices so excellent value for money.
Note that Gibson and Epiphone Nighthawks are the same size as Blueshawks so all the above applies to those too.

Very good value..
Fits my SGJ 2014 just fine, as well other SG's , considering SG's are pretty much all the same shape, and size, save for a few with a custom whammy or some such thing here and there..
The case is sturdy, and yes, as mentioned in a few past reviews, the locks are rather flaky, and tingly. They are shaky to say the least, but one of the three locks can be locked with a key, which will keep the case from opening.
The only very small, and minor, detail I can truly complain about this guitar case is that, THERE IS A SATIN COVER THAT COMES ON TOP OF YOUR GUITAR'S STRINGS WHEN YOU CLOSE THE CASE, and when you open the case to take of the satin cover, it comes off toward you as you open the case, hence touching the ground, and collecting the dirt wherever you may be, WHEREAS if the satin was connected on the bottom side of the case rather than the upper side where the case is opened, this would not occur. (which, I suppose, can be corrected easily at home, in a few minutes with the correct tools.)

Great case...Great price
I bought this case for my 2019 SG standard, i'm i a band playing most weekends so needed a hard case to replace the padded soft case that came with my guitar (which is fine if your guitar stays at home)
Pros: The guitar fits perfectly, very snug with no movement.
The construction is solid with good fittings & looks great,
Can't be beat for the price, less than half that of a Gibson
Cons: I can't find a single one,

Home sweet guitar home.
My first ever guitar case and I couldn't have picked a better one. The design is spectacular and the build is nothing but class all around! I've had it for 2 and a half years now and it has kept my guitar safe & sound during a lot of trips and changes in living environment. The interior is spacious enough to store many necessary guitar accessories like packs of strings, picks even handy note books, pens & other usable tools for the guitar.
Something that I thought I would be wary of, like everybody would be, is the quality and build of the lock and the keys, but so far I've had no problems with it. The grip is very smooth, comfortable and most importantly durable!
If I'm not mistaken the price for this case is still the same as it was when I purchased it and to be honest it's a steal.
I probably won't need another case for as long as I keep playing the SG style guitars. All around awesome case, I'm glad I got it :)
