Does this case seem good enough to put the guitar in check-in baggage? Especially if the guitar is snug fit and cannot move about inside?

The guitar fit perfect inside and doesnt move when you carry but remember this case is for classic 39 inch guitar

The case is a typical guitar case for carrying, but not heavy duty for checking baggage. No place for a lock.

My guitar, which fits snugly in the case, is about 16" at its widest point. I believe that the 17" width of your guitar would be a problem.

I have a Stratocaster and there's definitely plenty of extra room in this bag. I think the Acoustic Strat will fit, but it will be a bit snug. I've got a Yamaha acoustic/electric that fits in it ... and the Acoustic Strat wouldn't be any wider than that guitar, so you should be good.

There's plenty of room for the Bigsby. I was concerned about the same thing, but I just make sure that I spin the vibrato bar down so it's pointing towards the bottom of the guitar and it fits with plenty of room to spare.

Yes, this is the next-best thing to those bulky professional road cases used by touring musicians. I've accidentally backed a vehicle over a case like this, with no damage to the guitar inside (though I wouldn't recommend testing that out on purpose).

Yes, but don't buy this bag! I got it for a new guitar to my collection, but the placement of the padding around the sides of the guitar is poorly designed and leaves the instrument at risk of damage. I'm sorry I bought this bag...I will not be using it! There are better bags out there, many for less money, and they offer far better protection for your instrument.

Not sure it's supposed to or not, but the edges on my ones certainly don't meet in plenty of places. You can see through to the guitar... These cases are most definitely NOT flight-worthy cases, but they're okay for storage and the occasional checked-baggage flight (so long as it's not a US airline...).

You know if this guitar case doesn't fit you can always take the styrophome that's inside of it apart and it will fit. I own a BC Rich NJ Flying V guitar and it didn't fit inside this case because my headstock was too wide, so I started looking at it and I took the styrophome off, next thing you know the guitar did fit inside. You will have extra access baging from the gig-bag but at least you will have a guitar case to protect your flying-v and take it anywhere you want to go.

Yes, a little pressure will be fine because you want the guitar to stay tight in the case. A loose fit will allow the guitar to move around too much.

Hi David.I use this case to store a guitar Hofma HG 285G Semi acoustic:http://eagle.com.br/images/instrumentos/normal/HG-285G-SB-01.jpgThe measures of this guitar are as follows:http://www.ranieresite.xpg.com.br/arq/Guitar%20measures%20Hofma%20GH%20285G.pdfIf your guitar has equal measures, the case is for you.View measures the case I bought, Model: 1SKB-SC18, in the manufacturer's website:http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id;=221&o;=&offset;=1&c;=136&s=75See ya

I used it for a Taylor dread. There was a lot of room for guitar to move. We used it for plane travel but padded it with clothes.

My guess is it would be a very tight fit. These cases work well for my telecasters, but I think that is because they are designed more for compact solid body guitars.

I am sorry, but I bought this case after I returned the Yamaha guitar to amazon. So, I think it is better for you to ask another customer. Sorry about that.

I use it for my Fender Strats or my Ibanez RG when it's inconvenient to tort a bulky hard shell case to a jam session. Don't own any Schecters though. I can say that it is a top quality case that provides more protection than a regular gig bag.

By law, you are able to carry it on. I wouldn't recommend checking a guitar.

I have one of these cases and it fits my Les Paul Standard fairly well. There is about 1/2 inch of space above the headstock, could accomodate a longer neck possibly. I travel a lot and it goes where I go. The case is holding up pretty good so far.
