Thomann E-Guitar Gigbag Deluxe

For the price, I knew exactly what the bag would be and that is exactly what I got, in fact, I think it even exceeds the price somewhat if I compare it with other bags I have bought from Thomann which are twice the price. The bag matches the marketing photo and description exactly. It has ample space for the guitar, which fits snugly, and there is sufficient storage for the kinds of things one might usually want to take along such as guitar cabling, notepads, etc. The zippers are of the quality that comes with bags at this price point. The handle is strong and well positioned. The straps might look flimsy but are no different from what you see on bags of this price and frankly I think they should be able to do their job fine. The bag has sizeable and ample padding which should be able to protect the bag from the kinds of bumps, knocks or impacts it would be exposed to in typical keeping, carriage or if it fell down. The only thing I would say is that it feels quite stiff, not really foamy. But this makes the bag much sturdier than another that I have which is twice the price and feels floppy and is good only for keeping the guitar and protecting it from dust, not for travel or transportation. I feel confident to use this one to travel with the guitar. In conclusion, bearing in mind the price, I am quite satisfied with the purchase and would not hesitate to recommend it for a buyer who has in mind the kinds of uses I have summarized in my review.

I bought this for an ST-style guitar (HB ST-70 Black Paisley) because I have been playing at beach barbecues recently and wanted a bag with good padding.

The padding is great: 20mm of expanded polyethylene, so much better than the usual foam rubber. The bag, however, is huge. The poor little Strat looks lost inside it. I don't have the opportunity to test it but I imagine an ES335 would be quite at home in it. I will use it, though, because the padding is what I wanted.

It has four unpadded pockets accessible from the outside and, helpfully, a thick webbing panel on the inside which protects your guitar from any hard, lumpy objects in the main pocket. The padded straps are comfortable to use and secure. They are not the easiest to adjust in length but that's because they err on the side of secure holding. The carry handle seems strong and has a padded grip. Either way it is comfortable and secure to carry. It has a name tag holder which seems a sweet, over-optimistic touch these days.

Overall a very secure and accommodating bag at a very reasonable price. I kind wish they did a slightly smaller version but I'm not complaining

As an artist and musician, I've always carried a burden.
Both emotional and physical. Well..mostly physical; from the guitar cases I have to lug around from jam session to jam session.

Not only that, I've had a sour history with gig bags. It's either single strapped and extremely uncomfortable, or that its flimsy and absolutely unreliable.

But my emotional (and physical) burden was lifted when this case came to my life. I never felt so secure about my guitar travels. The commute was easier cause its light as a summer breeze. The padding is so good, I used it as a drunk pillow once during one of my friend's 'inspired' jam sessions. He needs more couches, i swear. Regardless, If this case can cradle my fragile expensive head, it can most definitely carry and protect your guitar!

Case is sturdy, well balanced and has PLENTY of pockets; which are three aspects that a lot of people need work on. My roomies keep asking if I can hold stuff for them cause I'm the last of the 1999'ers to wear cargo pants. Oh what would all my unstable and and fragile friends do without me.

I should tell them to buy one of these. And have them hold their fragile expensive things (and guitars!) in these instead.

Anyways I hope this review makes it to the public, cause this case changed my life. Really. And its genuinely a really good case, buy it and you won't regret it. You can always regret all the Diet Pepsi you bought instead of this case though, which was me a couple months ago.
