Frequently asked questions

What's the actual size difference between these cases?

The 4490 has documented dimensions of 44.3" × 15.5" × 4.2" with a 12 lbs unloaded weight. The 4491 dimensions are not provided in the available specs, making direct size comparison impossible despite both being described as suitable for touring and transport.

Are both cases really handmade in the USA?

The 4490 description states it is handmade by G&G in the USA but also notes origin as China, creating ambiguity. The 4491 explicitly states hand-made in the USA by G&G without contradiction, offering clearer USA manufacturing assurance.

Do they have the same interior protection?

Yes, both feature black monkey fur lining, plush padded cushioning, chrome-plated drawbar latches with one locking mechanism, leatherette-wrapped carry handles, and accessory storage compartments.

Which case fits larger guitars?

The 4490 accommodates body dimensions up to 19.5" × 13.2" × 2.2". The 4491 specifications for internal capacity are not provided, so capacity comparison cannot be made with available data.
