My wife just gave this case to me for my Strat on my birthday and this is the most beautiful case I've ever seen. Normally, I only really like tweed since I've had everything under the sun over 35 years and tweed look so much better than plastic as it ages. I'm sure as this one gets it's battle scars, it'll take on a beauty of it's own. The tooling (embossing/whatever) is nice & deep so the tops of the pattern will lighten up nicely. It's even got the tooling on the inside of the compartment lid in the case as well as the ends inside the leather caps. Very nice details and it's not some wannabe brand - it's a Fender case. Nice spaghetti logo under the handle too. Just the coolest case I've ever owned and it makes a statement as soon as you walk into a club with it. Yeah!

This is, by far, the best case that G&G makes for Fender Strats and Teles. The tooled leather exterior will take a lot more punishment than the standard tweed material. It also looks much nicer than the black tolex.

Excellent quality overall. I truly recommend this case!!!
