Lightweight Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar Case

Gator's Lightweight GL-Dread is the perfect cross between hard case protection and gig bag weight. Gator GL-Dread cases are internally constructed of dense EPS foam and the exterior is covered in 600-denier ballistic material. The interior of the Gator GL-Dread is covered in soft plush and the foam creates support for the neck. There are two pockets for all your gear. The Gator GL-Dread's carrying handle is of parachute nylon webbing plus a comfortable shoulder strap.

Great protection to my 16' archtops. I wish it would come with better straps, but i will take care of it myself.
