I used to travel from Japan to Canada with my Random Star and the guitar arrived safely after being checked as a large volume. ## Features - The body part has a square drop, so it is compatible with various types of solid guitars, including strato-types - Heavy duty plywood wrapped in sturdy "Tolex PVC" for superior water resistance and safe storage of your guitar - With multiple latches to secure the top lid, the GWE Series features a locking latch that allows you to double lock one of them with a key to prevent any accidental accidents - You can store accessories for your application, such as straps, shields and replacement strings - [Inner Dimensions] Total Length: 42.5 inches (108.3 cm) / Body Length: 18.7 inches (47.6 cm) / Upper Body Width: 12.8 inches (32.4 cm) / Body Lower Width: 12.8 inches (32.4 cm) / Depth: 3.0 inches (7.6 cm) / Weight: 8.8 lbs (4 kg) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000N4UD7S | | Amazon Bestseller | #7,760 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #37 in Electric Guitar Cases | | Brand Name | Gator | | Capacity | 2.26 Cubic Inches | | Closure Type | Latch | | Color | Black | | Country of Publication | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,344) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00716408504575 | | Handle Type | Telescoping handle | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 102.9L x 10.8W x 37.5H cm | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Case | | Item Weight | 3.81 kg | | Item Width | 16 Inches | | Manufacturer | GATOR | | Manufacturer Part Number | GWE-ELEC | | Material Type | Plywood | | Model Number | GWE-ELEC | | Number of Compartments | 1 | | Pattern | 1.

That's one that I have **Q: will this fit an SE Santana and an SE 245?
