It is not a surprise to come across issues when buying a hard case especially online. My Cort EVL X5 was slightly tight in the regular size gator case so I bought this case for it. It fits the body perfectly with the headstock not touching the far end of the case. But the neck groove seems to be low, so that the tuning peg touches the base which can be a problem. So I just placed a fresh face towel beneath the neck to fix the issue. Over all the build is sturdy enough for some harsh travels or to keep your guitar from moisture, dust and spillage.
