My kids have started guitar lessons and the bags they came in were paper thin. These cases are a big improvement. The stitching seems like it will hold up. The straps are sturdy, and the handle is comfortable for carrying. They have just enough padding that I’m confident with the kids putting them in the car themselves without dinging the guitars inside, or my car! They work great for both my 9 and 13 year old. Highly recommend.Okay, to be clear, I bought this bag for a guitar that has been without a case or bag for years. The guitar is a Strat and it fits into the bag nicely. I suspect a Tele or a Les Paul or an SG would fit just as well. So I bought the bag basically just to provide protection for a guitar around the house. Would I gig with this bag? Yes, I don't see why not. It is well padded and the padding is firm. The two-headed zipper appears to be of adequate durability and it has a stout handle. It has a large exterior pocket and straps that could be useful for toting a guitar around on one's back. I have one other guitar in need of around the house protection, so chances are I'll be buying another.Stating almost 1/2" of padding, not even, I measured at 6 points; all are 0.31". My biggest issue is that the padding inserts don't extend out close enough to the zipper leaving gaps with no padding at all. The zipper to seam is 2.38" the padding inside is only1.31" wide leaving over 1" with no protection.Perfect for full length bassBuena inversiónProduct as advertised, great quality and arrived on time.
