John, This was a a GREAT deal and a beautiful quality case with great cushioning. Unfortunately, though the length and width fit, the depth did not. I have a 1917-18 European prototype banjo and the head depth was too large to fit the case. I had to push down on the case to close it causing the latches to strain. I called the company and they were helpful. Told me to let it sit for a week or two to see if the cushioning compacted enough to fit better. It did not and I had to send it back. It would've only been a matter of time before the latches broke off. It's been difficult finding a quality case at that price that will fit my banjo. I'm still looking.

All I can say is that I use it for my Yamaha FG 180 and it works like a charm. I do not recall the exact measurements, but if you just look up the dimensions of an FG 180, you'll know. It is a solid case, so I hope it works out for you.

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.

Hey Robyn! Is that just a standard size acoustic guitar? I bought this case to hold an old acoustic guitar I own, and it fits perfectly (I also love the case; it's exactly what I needed, and I've had no problems or anything with it)!

Yes. I have in it now one that is 44" long and 18" wide. Understand though the bag has an across the chest strap and not shoulder straps. My view of the online image seemed to show two shoulder straps. Luckily, I also needed a bag for my banjo, and while unplanned at that time was needed. I got a ChromaCast 6 Pocket Acoustic Gig Bag with two over the shoulder straps that is plenty big enough for my dreadnought sized Electric Blue Quilted Top Fender T Bucket C300 Acoustic Electric guitar and a great bag all around. Happy guitaring!!

Other reviews stated that a standard case was too small for it so I followed another reviewers suggestion here and bought a case from Amazon. The Carrion C-2901 Fretted Resonator Banjo Case. It fits perfectly in it.

The width of the case is 14", the depth of the lid which is what I think you're asking for is 1.125". Probably too low for your Gretsch.Elderly Instruments has a fine staff who can answer your question. You can find them on the web.

I would assume so. The head fits very snuggly in the round part. Is the left handed banjo a different size?

My thunderbird fits pretty well in here but it still has room for a bit more length. The 5 string should not be that much longer but if it is, it still has room for it. Also the space for the headstock is open enough to fit the extra tuning peg. I would say get this case if you're looking to fit your bass

I don't think so, isn't the J45 a slop shoulder dread? If so this Jumbo will not fit is correctly. I believe you want to look for a standard dread. I have a Recoding King Slope and it fits in a dread case very well. The only thing that may not fit well (depending on the case) is up at the shoulder area, it may be a bet loose, but that will not really make too much of a difference since the lower bout and length will be the guitar stable in the case. Hope this helps...happy playing!

Your best bet would be to call an online retailer such as Musicians Friend, Sweetwater, or Zzounds, tell them that you are interested in buying the case but you need to be sure that your instrument fits inside of it first and ask them to test fit it for you.

The over all length of the gun is 15" right? might be tight! If Allen offers a case next size larger thats the one to get. If not I think it would wedge in there its suede and would stretch a bit. Great case and would snug the gun in proper as long as the 15" will zipper close. Scott D

I have this stand and I think it would work well for a banjo. It worked for my old Ovation guitar (which had the rounded back) and it works with my new guitar. The tongs might stick out a bit, but that would not hinder it from working well.

The stand holds a guitar perfectly. If the banjo is the same as a guitar it should fit.

I'm not familiar with the design of your banjo. It fits a standard banjo beautifully.

Probably. The body of my Takamine is about 20 in. long, but slightly less than 16 in. wide. Other answers (on Amazon) seem to indicate that it will fit up to 16.25" wide.

Can't say for sure but I believe the bottom support would work good since it is wide enough for a acoustic guitar. No sure where the neck of the banjo would fall on the back support. I think you would be ok since the bottom is cushioned with a soft rubbery cover and I always put a soft rag over the upper part where the back of the guitar would sit against it. Tim
