Thomann E-Guitar Gigbag Deluxe

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.
