This is by far the best 'gig bag' I've ever had. It's not as protective as a case, for obvious reasons. But if you need a bag you can strap to your back and yet is as protective as possible, then there's no better option.
I can fit any of my guitars in it: telecaster, stratocaster, PRS, Les Paul,...
The thick foam and the rubber bumper provide adequate protection. I've never had any issues transporting my valuable guitars in this bag thrown in my trunk. The straps and handle feel comfortable.
Unlike most hard cases, there's also a lot of room for cables, tab books etc. There's also a small net-style pocket inside the large pocket for smaller items.
Oh and it looks pretty slick, too. I love that it's not a Gibson or Fender branded bag, which I worry would attract opportunistic thieves interested in selling a valuable instrument.
Just 2 complaints:
- For my strap-locked PRS and Les Paul I have to remove the strap and any tremelo bars to get it in. That's of course the flip side of having a tight bag. The zipper also doesn't allow for much wiggle room, so switches might get knocked while inserting or removing.
- An additional pocket on top would have been useful to store smaller items.
