This is the best case I have, and a few Martin owners I play with have commented about how much nicer it is than their standard Martin cases. Side-by-side, there's no comparison. The contrast stitching, burgangy interior, and Geib-style top are absolutely beautiful. The case is heavy, but I didn't list that as a cob because I expect that from a high-quality acoustic guitar case. I feel like a could lay this thing flat on the floor with my Martin inside, and stand on top of it without any fears that I might fall through--it's that sturdy. The hinges are very high quality, much heavier than those on more standard hard cases, and they always match up when closing the case, which always annoys me about cheaper cases. I humidify my guitar, and this case traps in the humidity from my humidifier very well, keeping the inside of the case around 45-50% easily. The fit on my Martin dreadnought is snug, just like you need it to be, and my Hohner HG-930 Arbor Series dread fits well, too. I would recommend this to dread players who want to protect their investment in style. Beautiful high-quality case that gets the job done.

Very disappointed with interior of case. Expected something more plush for the price. Short velour padding, which seems like it was shimmed in as an afterthought. Strong sharp incense odor that doesn't go away, even after left open for two weeks. Black covering on outer shell already pealing at seams. Otherwise solid. Like padded handle and ample interior storage area. Brass hardware is cool and seems solid. But really: Meh!

Comments about Martin 12C545EC Vintage Dreadnought Guitar Case:
The exterior tolex is flawless. The latches, hinges and feet are heavy duty. The "pleather" handle is tough and comfortable. The beautiful cabernet interior is plush and fits my D-28 like a glove. The archtop is particularly cool and gives it strength. The wood used is very sturdy and does not give. This case is a tad heavy, but I suppose that's a good thing. This case is the finest luggage style case I have ever owned.

Comments about Martin 12C545EC Vintage Dreadnought Guitar Case:
If you own a Martin and still have it in the thermoplastic case, shame on you! I don't know about you but owning a Martin guitar is a life achievement and I would want the best case for "The Precious". This case has 6 clasps and built like a plywood tank. It has an arched top to provide great top crush protection. The plush padding is snug so it takes a little push to seat the body inside! No aluminum surround to CLAW the precious when the lid flops closed like the plastic case. The case must weigh about 30 pounds and has a high quality padded handle. This is the 500 series TKL Gieb (sounds like tribe) classic case of lore! It is one high quality original Martin equipment case. At MF this case is about half the price as elsewhere! Wait till they have a sale and man, it's a steal! If you like the plastic (bear trap) case, keep an eye on eBay, mine will be for sale soon!

Comments about Martin 12C545EC Vintage Dreadnought Guitar Case:
I purchased this case as a replacement for the case that came with my Martin D-16RGT. The new case fits the guitar very well and the quality is exceptional. The Cabernet color plush interior has very good padding. The 6 latches are brass plated and the hinges have a cloth cover on the inside preventing scratches. There is a key lock on the center latch and there is a Martin badge near the handle. Overall this case is far superior to the original D-16 case.

Best case I have ever owned. Just what my Martin D 28 needed
Great Price. Over 225.00 everywhere else
Comments about Martin 12C545EC Vintage Dreadnought Guitar Case:
Best guitar case I have ever owned
Bought to replace an older Martin case with green crushed velvet interior. I had bought a 12 fret D18VS and the case it came with had seen better days
Made in the USA
Less expensive than other vendors
Comments about Martin 12C545EC Vintage Dreadnought Guitar Case:
I just purchased this case & was totally impressed. The workmanship is outstanding, holds my guitar tightly & my dog actually tried to get inside & sleep in it. Beautiful & well made. It is quite heavy though & might require me drinking large glasses of margarita's to build up my arm strength.
This case lists for $310 and I thought this was an excellent vallue.
Comments about Martin 12C545EC Vintage Dreadnought Guitar Case:
I own a few of these cases and the quality is excellent. A big consideration for me is that they are made right here in the U.S.A.!!!
