Bought this while waiting for the hard hard case for my Dean Tyrant to arrive. It's a decent bag, but the one drawback it has in my view is the padding could do with being a bit thicker, when i had it slung on my back i didn't feel like it gave the guitar enough support. It does have handles and a strap, so you can carry it as a normal bag or have it slung. it's good if you want something to protect your guitar at home without spending a big amount of money on a quality hard case, and You could use it for jamming or gigging, but Im very protective of my guitars and for me i just dont feel like it would give it enough protection or support with the thickness of the padding to be carrying it around outside, especially to gigs. It'll help to stop your axe getting scratched, but i wouldn't put my faith in it to give it much protection against anything else. Whilst you can use it for more, coz its not bad, Personally i wouldnt use it for more than home use. But that's just me, as i said im very protective of my guitars and due to this i have a preference towards hard cases lol.
