In the early '50s, Leo Fender walked unannounced into the offices of the Victoria Case Company of Los
Angeles and asked if they could build a case for his new guitar. No one at the luggage manufacturer had any
previous experience building musical instrument cases, but when General Manager Ben Germain reviewed
Fender's design requirements, he quickly concluded, "We can build this." Not long after that fateful meeting,
Fender's revolutionary Telecaster guitar was being shipped with the soon-to be classic tweed covered case lined
with rich red velvet. Nearly six decades later Ben Germain continues to turn out hardshell guitar cases built to
Fender's original specs. The cases, which have been produced under the G&G brand since 1978, are sold
as original equipment for Fender's high-end guitars as well as makers like Paul Reed Smith, Yamaha,
Ernie Ball / Musicman, Schecter Guitars and Rickenbacker just to name a few.
With over 75 years of experience, here at G&G Quality Cases we've come to understand the need for
protection and security of the musical instrument. That's why we build our cases from high-grade
3.6mm and 9mm plywood that we shape and press ourselves, here in our home factory of Los
Angeles, California. We then send each case through a rigorous inspection for quality control and
approval before completion where we add strength-tested adhesives for a hold that will last
through the harshest conditions, on and off the road. Lastly, every case is covered with a durable
and attractive covering then machine-stitched for binding and equipped with brass and
nickle-plated steel hardware that ensures the safety and security of your instrument while
still managing to look great too.
