padded foam gig bags

hey everyone,

i used to have one of these that was cut to fit my old juan hernandez. really liked having such a lightweight, protective gig bag but when i sold that guitar, i threw the case in too.

anyone have any recommendations on makers or carriers? just browsing and i see some gator and guardian gig bags that aren't even fully padded all around the guitar.

thanks in advance,

doug

I have a breedlove gig bag that is probably more beefy than a case.

it is worth it

the breedlove gig bag doesn't look too padded on top. the reason i loved the ron fernandez gig bag is that it was so thickly padded with foam on all sides and ridiculously lightweight. also its not a striking bag at all which helps to keep a low profile.

shame about the latch and the gauge which is new to me, but i'm still getting one.
