Top Notch!!

This case is not a gig bag. It's sturdy and protects my guitar perfectly. It's light weight, so it's easy to transport and I feel safe knowing my guitar is being protected and secure. Plus I bought it at Sweetwater to avoid shipping costs. What a bang for the buck!

Fantastic case!!!

As Gator says - best features of gig bag and hard case. This thing is made of an incredibly rigid foam; strong but light (about half the weight of a hard case). Unless you need a hard case for heavy travel, stacking tons of stuff into a truck, etc., this is the best case there is. Since I just got it, the only thing that remains to be seen is its long-term durability. It's made very well, so I think that won't be a problem.

Great bag and great service!

I badly needed a nice sturdy and light weight gig bag for traveling and really like the ag, price, and superb service from Sweetwater. I'll come back for more! They provided excellent information over the phone and were very helpful in helping me choose the right bag,

Gator guitar bag a hit!

A great case with versatility and style. Shoulder straps for backpac use are great but the handle works well too. Inside is well padded and soft on my guitar. Completely satisfied with the case and couldn't be more impressed with Sweetwater's service!

Love it!

Great protection to my 16' archtops. I wish it would come with better straps, but i will take care of it myself. These hybrid cases are the way to go, unless you are really going for the high end soft cases which will cost you like a nice amp or more. The protection is as good as it gets-and that is the bottom line.

Terrific case

Love this case. Fits all my 6-strings from dreads to Taylor GS to even Martin M-Series (which is a challenge to most other cases). Very sturdy, storage galore. Only thing that cost it half a star was that the plastic clasps on the shoulder straps can be torqued off the D-rings if you sling the case on to your shoulder without supporting the bottom on a hard surface--the "tongue" of the clasp gets reversed (but you can easily set it right. Will probably replace that hardware with metal, from a hardware or outdoor.mountaineering store, or just buy new and better straps.

Great Versatile Gig Bag

I needed a really good gig bag for my Gibson ES-335 CRR - something that I could throw over my shoulder for cruising around the airport and something that could fit in the overhead and also trust for gate checking. This case fits the width of my 335 CRR perfectly. i used a couple of towels to fill in the depth. I also use this same case to transport my Telecaster and my JTV 59. It's a good all purpose case for me. The shoulder straps could use some padding. They dig into my shoulders a little bit, but I can work with that. Definitely a great gig bag for the price and extremely versatile.
