Which gig bag?

lincolnblue · January 2017

I'm after a decent gig bag for my Strat/Tele. I'd love a Mono but can't stretch to that. Can you recommend me another good gig bag that's sturdy yet at a more affordable price?

Prs se bags are great

Warwick gig bags are pretty good - mine has lasted about 10 years of abuse

Levy's ones are pretty decent. The only real reason I replaced mine with a Mono is because the Mono has the neck support and I felt it mattered with a Rickenbacker 4001 inside it. The Levy's isn't as well-padded overall, but for a Fender it wouldn't worry me in the slightest, and it's a lot lighter than the Mono too.

+1 on the Levys - I've had one of the ones they made for Gibson in the 90's for years.

Perfect for a durable Fender guitar and it's housed my SG with no problem.

You might find a used one...

+1 for the PRS SE bags. Really well made and you can pick them up on e-Bay for £30 or so, if you're patient.

Thomann do a very good one for about £28.00, Black and brown (not pink as it looks...) leatherette. I have two and they are good.

I've got the bass version of this and its really good. Its obviously not up to Mono levels of protection but I doubt you'll get better for anywhere near that money.

I use the Gator ProGo bags for my gigging Tele and Esquire and they are superb.

That is cool.... I got some really nice hybrid cases too a short while back... Also like the one you posted its kind of a soft/hard case... The only thing its missing is some padding where the body sits cos its quite big so unless you are using it for a semi hollow type it leaves some room.. But you can pad that out yourself.

With Fenders you just need a bin bag to keep the rain off.

Megii · January 2017

I really fancy one of these GigBlades - I don't think quite as pricey as a mono, but still not cheap though. But in terms of the "cool" factor, this would be the one. I believe Guthrie Govan uses them.

I bought a rock ready Volo from guitars4you. Really pleased with

I really like these as they are more stable with a square base for leaning against something and offer great protection.

Shame they've gone up a tenner though!

Another vote for the PRS SE gigbag, same one they use for the S2 range but with a different logo.......(not sure what the new SE gig bags are logo'd up with actually since the move over to the 'proper' PRS logo......)

I've got a hybrid case that I keep my Les Paul in. The brand is Protection Racket (UK made) and has the neck support and shock absorbing pads inside. Really sturdy zips and handles, plus rucksack style straps. Definitely the next best thing to a full on hard case in my opinion.

Also have a gigbag made by Roksak that I keep my Esp Ltd Viper in. Nice amount of padding, neck support with velcro to keep it in place, loads of storage and sturdy straps etc.

I've used a Protection Racket bag/case for years and its never let me down. Mono are good, as are Gig Blade if you want spend even more. My local shop had some better quality Fender bags in not so long back that looked pretty decent. Finally, Gear4Music do their own range - they're not massively padded on the inside but plenty tough on the outside, cheap too.

WillEdmunds · January 2017

My mate has a Gator Pro and it's amazing. I think it's just as well made as my Mono M80 and equally as protective. Go with the Gator!

Howdy, Stranger!
