The Importance of a Quality Gig Bag


Those who play local gigs or frequent the studio know the importance of a gig bag that travels comfortably while keeping your instrument safe from life's bumps and scrapes. Gig bags aren't just for surface scratches, either. Many of today's options deliver protection that rivals that of your favorite hardshell case without compromising that slim form factor and effortless mobility.


What to Look For in an Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag


Construction


What makes a good acoustic guitar gig bag? First, look at the stitching and ensure it's even and dense. Then, assess the quality of the zippers — good-quality zippers will be tough, well-built, and easy to slide. The interior must also be of top quality, so your guitar's strings don't get caught in the material. A great guitar bag will add an extra protector to keep the interior from ripping.


Padding


Acoustic guitar bags also have dense foam to protect your guitar. The denser the foam, the safer your guitar and the less likely it is to tear. Thick padding at the bag's bottom will keep your guitar in place and prevent it from getting damaged when you set it down. The neck is the most delicate part of your guitar, so get a gig bag with neck protection, too.


Bridge and string protectors


Our acoustic guitar gig bags include bridge and string protectors. These protectors keep your bag and your guitar from getting torn to pieces. You're welcome.


Mobility


It's not just about the guitar. You'll be lugging this thing around, so you'll want to find a gig bag that eases the load on you. You'll notice the straps and connectors on our bags are made of high-quality plastic or metal. They're tough, so your bag will last a long, long time.


For maximum comfort, ensure the bag is well-balanced and easy to carry. The same goes for the back straps and handles—especially when you have to walk a while from the car to the venue with your acoustic guitar. The gig bag has to be as comfy and smooth as possible.


Protection


Besides comfort, you'll also want protection. A nice bonus feature is an acoustic guitar bag with a reflective surface. This helps you be seen at night when you're out on the street, carrying your instrument.


Storage


Of course, you'll also want a bunch of pockets for all your acoustic guitar accessories, such as a pocket for your sheet music, a pocket to put your picks and smaller stuff in, and so on. Some of our acoustic guitar bags include a special pocket to lock your straps in so they're not dangling around.
