Gator GW-JM-UKE-CON - Deluxe concert ukulele hard case “Gator GW DELUXE” beige
The Gator GW-JM-UKE-CON is a deluxe hard case for concert ukuleles from the Journeyman/GW Deluxe series, designed for those seeking the aesthetics of vintage cases with the protection of a professional-grade wooden case . Its robust plywood construction with a beige tweed/burlap lining and espresso-colored piping gives it a classic look while protecting your ukulele from bumps, temperature changes, and the wear and tear of daily use.
Inside, the GW-JM-UKE-CON features a very soft , royal blue crushed velvet lining that envelops the instrument and protects its finish. The molded inner nest follows the contours of a standard concert ukulele, holding it firmly in place and preventing movement during transport. It also includes an interior accessory compartment with a lid , ideal for storing capos, tuners, sets of strings, picks, or a small humidifier.
The aged brass hardware (locks, hinges, and corner pieces) adds an even more retro touch while ensuring durability. The latches are lockable , so you can secure the case with the integrated lock when you need extra protection. The ergonomic, padded handle makes it easy to carry by hand, and a detachable shoulder strap is included for carrying the case over your shoulder—very practical for long journeys or when you're carrying extra gear.
With approximate interior dimensions of 64.0 cm overall length , 33.0 cm body length , 21.1 cm bottom width , and 9.4 cm case depth , the Gator GW-JM-UKE-CON fits the vast majority of standard concert ukuleles.
