Gator G-TOUR-CAB412 - Wooden ATA Flight Case for 4x12 Live-In Screen
The Gator G-TOUR-CAB412 is a professional ATA flight case from the G-TOUR series designed for 4x12 guitar cabinets , featuring a "live-in" design that allows you to work with the cabinet inside the case itself. It's designed to fit most standard 4x12 cabinets on the market, including popular models like the Marshall 1960 series , thanks to its interior tray with high-density EVA padding and adjustable fit.
The enclosure is constructed from 3/8" (approx. 9 mm) plywood with a laminated finish and heavy-duty hardware , offering touring-grade protection against shocks, vibrations, and stacking. The interior features Ultra-Dur EVA padding that supports the cabinet's weight and holds it securely in place, minimizing movement during transport. With interior dimensions of approximately 77.5 x 77.2 x 47.3 cm (L x W x H), the case provides a secure fit for most 4x12 straight or angled displays.
The live-in design features a fully removable front panel , allowing the cabinet to remain installed inside the wheeled tray: simply remove the front panel and open the hinged rear door to access the connectors. A rear cable pass-through facilitates routing the speaker cable without removing the screen, greatly speeding up setup and teardown during live performances.
For transport, the G-TOUR-CAB412 features four heavy-duty wheels that easily support the combined weight of the flight case and screen, as well as multiple spring-loaded, folding metal handles distributed around the perimeter, designed to allow several people to maneuver the case comfortably. Recessed butterfly latches ensure a firm and secure closure, also protecting the screws from impacts.
With approximate external dimensions of 91.4 x 85.7 x 58.4 cm (length x width x height) and an empty weight of around 26.3 kg , the Gator G-TOUR-CAB412 positions itself as a robust and reliable solution for tours, backline companies, venues and any professional environment where 4x12 screens need to be moved frequently while maintaining maximum safety.
