Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get a **Schecter SGR-2A (Avenger/Synyster Gates) hard case** for a **Synyster Gates Custom-6 Headless**, but I’m finding completely conflicting dimensions online.

Some stores list the width at around **15" (38 cm)**, while others list it around **19" (48 cm)**. Some of those numbers may actually be shipping/package dimensions rather than the dimensions of the case itself.

Unfortunately, in my situation even a few centimeters matter.

I’ll be flying internationally with Turkish Airlines and purchasing an extra seat for the guitar (CBBG). Their maximum dimensions for the instrument/case are:

**140 × 42 × 25 cm**
**55.1 × 16.5 × 9.8 in**

So I specifically need to know the **actual physical OUTER dimensions of the SGR-2A itself**, not the interior dimensions and not the cardboard shipping box dimensions.

# If anyone here actually owns an SGR-2A, could you please measure:

* **Overall length** — from the furthest point to the furthest point
* **Maximum width** — at the widest point of the case
* **Maximum thickness/depth** — including feet/bumpers if they protrude

For the width in particular, I need to know whether the actual case is **under 42 cm / 16.5 inches**.

If possible, please measure with a tape measure rather than relying on the manufacturer's/store specifications.

**Also, even if somebody has already posted measurements in the comments, I would REALLY appreciate it if another SGR-2A owner could measure theirs as well so I can double-check the result.** I really don't want to base an international flight decision on one measurement.

The guitar is quite valuable and difficult for me to replace, so I really don't want to check it into the baggage hold.

# Alternative cases

I'm also completely open to using a different hard case.

If anyone owns a **Synyster Gates Custom-6 Headless** and knows of another protective hard case that fits it properly, please let me know.

Ideally the **actual external dimensions of the case must stay within:**

**140 × 42 × 25 cm / 55.1 × 16.5 × 9.8 in**

If you have an alternative case and can provide its **actual measured outer dimensions**, that would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks a ton to anyone willing to grab a tape measure and check this for me.

This one came to me in wall hanger/junk condition. Completely dried out, fretboard warped, 1"+ action, etc.

Repairs include: Body warp fixes, new fretboard, handmade bridge and pickguard, new tuners, rebuilt neck adjuster, complete re-do on the headstock pearloid and logo, and other misc. Has a nice boxy sound for folk and blues.

“I love these weird old guitars.”
A video tour of Ghalia Volt’s very cool guitar collection.

I modded an old crappy 1960's catalog guitar until only the body, neck and tailpiece were original. As a rockabilly player and Gretsch lover I took my now wife's favorite colour, and put a lot of our personal symbolism into this guitar.

Sparkly purple/pink woodburst with a coconut tree wood inlay in the tailpiece, our names engraved on the backplate. Our infinity knot dead centre, our Sweden Moose on the head stock, its our favorite holyday destination. An old p90 style pickup in the bridge and a 60's Menorm Dog eard single coil in the bridge. (John Denver was a famous user of these pickups in his accoustic)

Not sure if this belongs here as it's not a guitar but it's definitely obscure.

I saw this in a local bar/restaurant and after a little research found that Bassora were a Yugoslavian company and this bass is from the 60s. If anybody knows any more than that I'd be grateful for the knowledge. Such a shame it's not being played. I reckon with a bit of TLC it could be restored, but at least it's getting seen!

I didn't mean to say

Won this in a raffle from my cousin's guitar shop in around 90-92. I guess there were about 50 made for ZZ Top.

This guitar made a stir among collectors when it appeared on ShopGoodwill auction a few weeks ago after being donated to a Goodwill in Texas.
We started by speaking to Neal Moser and having him authenticate the guitar, and confirm it is one of the first 75 released at the 2005 NAMM show.
Through its life, it has had the pickups upgraded to a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck and a Bill Lawrence U.S.A. L500XL in the bridge.
These are straight wired in a "Dimebag configuration" without any coil split or phase shift.

When we received the guitar, it was filthy, with a very dry fretboard, severely tarnished frets (to the point of nearly black) and had a short in the output jack and first volume pot. Otherwise, it was overall in decent condition.

We sorted the electronics, replaced the cheap pickup rings someone had installed backward on it, cut, bugged, and polished the finish, did a full setup with neck adjustment, and replaced the rusting D'Ardario strings with a set of DR Black beauties. This guitar is beautiful and plays flawlessly, now.

I thought I would share this rare and obscure... and notorious.. guitar with everyone to see it.

The big question that remains is how something like this ends up in a Goodwill donation, and especially one that was obviously setup with these upgrades and loved at one point.
