Reduced to 3 stars. Mar 17, 2007 By DeeBee
Don't get the cheap-o Chinese Fender case. My Tele came from the factory in one of those and it didn't fit my guitar properly. That's kind of disappointing, since the *old* Fender-branded cases were made by SKB. The new ones are awful.

Buy this SKB case for your treasured Fender guitar and dump the cheap-o Fender case on eBay. You'll be gladja did.

EDIT: Not quite a year since I bought it, the anchor strap that keeps the lid to a 90 degree angle when opened came unglued from the body. That's disappointing. Besides that, it's holding up fairly well, but not as good as my SKB-made, Fender-branded case that I bought in the '90s. Looks like some corners are being cut in manufacturing. Booo.

Another update: A few months after the anchor strap on the bottom came unglued, the one at the top near the headstock broke too. And one of the "feet" (when you set the case down handle-up) has broken.

Meanwhile, my nearly 10-year old Fender-brand SKB case is still holding up wonderfully. I don't abuse my gear, but these new cases are not made to handle the rigors of the road.

They're not making 'em like they used to.

SKB Shaped Electric Guitar Hardshell Case Mar 14, 2011 By tahitijack
I purchased this case to carry my Fender Strat and PRS Custom 22 and 305 guitars when I travel. While the interior is not an exact fit for these guitars ,it is very close and there is no movement when the guitar is placed inside. The headstock of the Fender Strat fits slightly better inside. There is a compartment inside in the neck area for small items such as strings, tuner, capo and picks. It is not large enough for a guitar strap or cable. The inteior lining is a plush black fabric. On the outside, the locks are very secure and would be difficult to accidently open and with the added plus of a TSA lock. The latches are heavy duty plastic not mettle. The fit of the lid and base are typical perfectly tight fit of SKB with aluminum trim. The handle is very secure and large. The case is light weight but very sturdy. If you are a traveler needing a sturdy "strat" guitar case at an affordable price this one should be on your short list. BTW I took the "free shipping" and the case arrived within 2 days of my order...amazing.

Great Case! Dec 17, 2009 By Richard Desutter "Rick Rock"
I recently purchased this case to protect my Fender Tele from getting beat up on long road trips. This case is very nice! It's not very heavy. My tele fits just right in it. The latches are plastic, but very nice quality. I'd recommend it for sure!

I bought one of these a little over a year ago for a guitar that I assembled to Fender Tele specs. The guitar fits snug, and after a year of gigging, it looks & functions as brand new. So does my guitar, which is also a testament to the construction of the case. I'm building another Fender-type guitar and plan on buying another SKB-FS6 for that guitar too.
