Simply so, are Calton cases worth it?
They are a bit heavy but the trade off for security and protection of your Martin is well worth it. I never had any real problems getting my cases directly from Calton but I know that a few members have had difficulties, so if you’re in a hurry buy used or from a dealer who has one in stock.
Likewise, people ask, are Gator guitar cases any good? Gator is the industry specialist and has the track record to back that up.

It has all the features you’d expect from a decent-quality hard case, and the built-in LED is a nice (and genuinely useful) touch.
