Gator G-TOUR-HEAD - ATA Flightcase for “Gator GTOUR” amplifier head 77 x 26 x 31.7 cm
The Gator G-TOUR-HEAD is a professional ATA flight case for guitar amplifier heads , designed to withstand the rigors of touring, rentals, and heavy use. With a robust 3/8" (approx. 9.5 mm) plywood construction and a black PVC laminate exterior , this case offers touring-level protection for standard-sized heads, including popular models like the Marshall JCM series and other similarly sized heads.
Inside, the G-TOUR-HEAD features a full high-density foam lining with adjustable foam blocks that allow you to customize the space to the exact size of your amp head. This ensures the amplifier is held securely in place, without any play, protecting both the chassis and tubes from shocks and vibrations during transport. The removable "lift-off" lid design allows for live-in setup : simply place the amp head on the base, remove the lid, connect cables, and you're ready to play without ever having to remove it from the flight case.
All the hardware is road-ready: red , recessed twist-latch closures , spring-loaded carrying handles with rubber grips for a comfortable hold, and metal ball corners that reinforce the edges. The base incorporates rubber feet that stabilize the case and prevent slipping and marking on the floor or stage.
The Gator G-TOUR-HEAD's interior dimensions are approximately 76.99 x 26.11 x 31.70 cm (length x width x height), or about 77 x 26 x 31.7 cm , designed to fit most standard-sized guitar heads. The exterior dimensions are approximately 83.8 x 32.8 x 38.8 cm , with a weight of about 13.4 kg , offering an excellent balance between sturdiness and portability for a wooden flight case in this category.
