I was going to buy a guitar, and I figured that I need some way to safely and comfortably transport it (I'm no street or a concert musician, but occasionally there is a need for my guitar to go places with me), so I came across this product.
It is simple, tough and reliable - all I need!
The padding is not much, but for the price it is sufficient - firm, thick enough, comes in all places that need it (side walls included, the only place lacking is under a neck of a guitar). Zippers are big, so you can open and close them easily even in thick gloves, and strong, so your instrument does not come flying around from accidental swings or fall out if it's too heavy and the zipper came apart. There is also a neet little feature - the top of the neck portion of a bag is lined with a slippery, firm fabric on the inside, so that tuners and ends of strings are not tearing up the bag while in travel! It also has a plastic "toe" on the bottom so you can safely rest it on the ground and not damage the instrument or mess the bag up in dirt.
The bag has 2 pockets of respectable size - the top one can fit 3 pedals of standart size and 1 small power adapter for them, and the bottom one is quite large (the footprint of it is almost the size of A3 sheet), so you can fit all of the cables, sheet music, maybe a guitar processor and lots of other miscellaneous stuff in it! The side handle is padded and thick, so you can really get a grip of it, and the straps on the back of the bag are wide, padded and strong (but there could bit a little bit more padding to my taste).
It is a great choice for people on budget, who needs a sturdy, but yet comfortable, universal option!
