Squire Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster – overall a good value economy hard case, slight noodle modification required to stop guitar from moving inside case, headstock can slide and hit the top of the case without this modification (see pictures, bright green noodle modification) this is a common problem with cases, not just this case.

Squire Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster – overall a good value economy hard case, slight noodle modification required to stop guitar from moving inside case, headstock can slide and hit the top of the case without this modification (see pictures, bright green noodle modification) this is a common problem with cases, not just this case. The latches could be a little better, they are definitely economy latches, time will tell if they last, one of the three latches on the case I received might have a problem in the future, like I said time will tell. The storage space (with a cover) is a little small, the other side of the storage area (no cover side) small objects might move from this space into other sections of the case, there is space between the lid and walls of this uncovered section of storage allowing small objects to move outside of the storage area, just put small items in the covered section does work. Other than the very economy style latches, this case is on par with other economy cases on the market. I would not recommend this case for shipping or baggage check on a plane, but it is good enough for around the house or jamming sessions. Someone that gigs often might consider a case above the "economy" class, but may be okay for most gigging guitar players. Overall, I think a good vale for the price, if the latches last (minus 1 star for latches that I think could be a little better, see picture of latch, picture can not see that this latch is difficult to open or close, might be more of a fit issue than the latch or luck of the draw getting well installed latches).
