Lightweight "Fit-All" Electric Guitar Case

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

Gator GL-Elec Gig Bag

by Frank Ravaschiere from New Jersey, USA

Although it's a somewhat snug fit for my Les Paul, you would be hard pressed to find a better hybrid gig bag this close to a hard case. The price is also extremely reasonable.

This isn't a gig bag

I was skeptical of this case before I bought it because it looks so much like a gig bag instead of a case. But it's really a case with a foam frame and a heavy weight nylon covering. The foam is much ... read more [+]more sturdy than I would have thought. It also makes the case very light, much lighter than a case with a wooden frame. It has very good neck support for your guitar. It has plastic feet on the bottom and it will stand up easily without worrying if it's going to fall over. I'm used to using the metal fasteners on most cases so at first the zipper opener for the case seemed bothersome but I'm used to it now, and the zippers are very sturdy and work great. The two compartments inside the case are sealed by the lid of the case and it seems to work well. I haven't had any thing come out of the compartments and rattle around in the case yet. The only thing that I would question about the case is the shoulder strap. The strap is fine, but the fastener clips on the ends of the strap are made out of thin plastic and I don't know how long they would last with regular use, but I doubt I'll use the strap much anyway. I bought one for my Squire Telecaster and liked it so much that I bought another for my Statocaster. For the money I don't think you'll get a better case.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
