Thomann Acoustic-Steel Gigbag Premium

I bought it mostly to have the most protection my moneycan get and it does much more -

Great quality mostly
Nice roomy storage compartments
Built like a tank! Pretty much the closest you can get to a MONO bag it this price range.
Nice leather

Only 2 downsides -
1. When fastened all the way (for better back comfort) the shoulder pads are useless and basically the strap sits directly on the shoulder - quite uncomfy. I just keep it loose.

2. Internal lining is the cheapest material possible. Really disappointing compared to the rest of the bag.

Overall worth every penny, no bag in this price will outperform it 100%

Well made, robust, and water resistant fabric. However, in the interest of improving the design and helping others I would note a couple of things.
If you are holding the bag by the side handle, the zips on the external pockets close on the downward side; consequently, if the pockets are not totally closed, your items can and will fall out... This could be easily remedied in manufacturing.
Note that this is made for big guitars, I had a 175 copy in it, with Bigsby, and there was plenty of room. The downside of this is that the plastic leatherette fabric can form creases, along the lines where it was folded in transit, and if not stretched out can crack within a few months. My first bag did this (and was replaced by Thomann), the second one I padded and stretched out for a few days before using, and it lasted a couple of years of daily use before the side handle and shoulder strap attachments tore.

Recently treated myself to a epiphone ej200sce and soon realised that I needed a decent bag to prevent it getting bashed. I don't really like hard cases as they take up too much room and the only gig bag I had didn't have any padding to speak of. This is just the ticket as it has tons of padding, it also a padded cradle thing that secures the neck fairly snugly although it could be a little tighter. It's got a nice big pocket at the front that should fit a couple of a4 size guitar books and couple of smaller pockets for pedals, tuners, spare strings etc. It's also pretty decent looking. Straps are pretty comfy and when they are not being used they zip into a little compartment to stop them catching on stuff. It's a little bit tight for my guitar but I think that's because of my big ass suede strap. Does fit, just need to arrange it right.

Pros** Price, Padding, Comfort, Looks.
Cons** Neck harness thing could be snugger.


I'm hoping that this a useful and detailed review so that thomann will send some vouchers my way!
