FAQs
Will this case fit my Epiphone Les Paul?
This case is specifically molded for Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars. It is unlikely to provide a secure or proper fit for other guitar shapes like a Les Paul.
How do I reset the TSA lock combination?
The method for resetting the TSA lock combination varies by manufacturer. Please refer to the small instruction booklet that came with the case or search for the specific lock model online for reset instructions.
Can I use this case for acoustic guitars?
No, this case is designed for electric guitars, specifically Stratocaster and Telecaster models. It does not have the internal dimensions or shape to accommodate an acoustic guitar.
What is the warranty period for this case?
Warranty information can vary. Please check the product packaging or Fender's official website for details on the warranty coverage for this specific case model.
Is the interior lining removable for cleaning?
The interior lining is permanently affixed for maximum cushioning and protection. It is not designed to be removed. Cleaning should be done in place as described in the 'Care' section.
How much does the case weigh?
The weight of the case can vary slightly, but it is designed to be manageable for transport. For precise weight, please refer to the product specifications on the manufacturer's website or packaging.
Troubleshooting
Case latches are difficult to close.
Ensure the guitar is positioned correctly within the case and not obstructing the latches. Check for any debris caught in the latch mechanism. If stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant may help.
TSA lock is not engaging or opening.
Refer to the specific instructions for your TSA lock model. Ensure the correct combination is entered or the key is fully inserted. Contact the lock manufacturer if issues persist.
Interior lining feels damp.
The case may have been exposed to moisture. Remove the guitar and leave the case open in a dry, well-ventilated area until completely dry before storing the instrument.
Accessory compartment divider is loose.
Check if the divider is designed to be removable or adjustable. If it appears damaged, contact customer support for potential replacement parts or assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This case is specifically molded to fit Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars. Ensure your instrument's body and headstock shape align with these models for optimal fit.
Setup: The case comes ready to use. Simply open the latches, place your guitar inside ensuring it rests securely in the padded cradle, store accessories in the designated compartment, and close the latches. Engage the TSA lock according to its instructions (refer to lock manufacturer's guide if needed).
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the molded plastic exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
- Interior: For the plush lining, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before storing your guitar.
- Latches and Lock: Periodically check that latches function smoothly. Lubricate hinges and latches sparingly if needed with a silicone-based lubricant.
