Decent gig bag?

LooseMoose

Hi all

Im after a decent gigbag - I can’t afford Mono, so who else should I look at? It’s for a Strat shape but I’d like something a cut above the poorly padded Fender jobs.

Thanks!

See if you can track down one of the original PRS SE gigbags (not the current ones which are flimsier). They crop up on e-Bay now and then for around £30. They're quite thickly padded and very well made.

yep they are

I’ve got one of these and it’s great.

I have one of these,  a Rockbag by Warwick Starline 20506. It's a gigbag that offers nearly as much protection as a hard case.

I have used a few of these...  whats cool about them is they have a neck support.. Well made and lasting well so far.

I like the Protection Racket cases. I’ve been using one of these for around 15 years and it still looks nearly new.

I use cheap Chord ones https://www.zavvi.com/accessories/chord-gb-eb1-soft-padded-electric-guitar-gig-bag-black/11530997.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000025337563&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2_Sn2tXe2AIV6LvtCh1e9QTkEAQYBSABEgL4VfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CKCz9eDV3tgCFY0D0wodX1MOeA

does the job very well, lots of protection and quality is good. PLUS as it says Chord on it no one is going to steal it.

No such thing, IMO. Get a proper Hiscox case.

Nonsense. Sorry.

I don’t know if they make them anymore but Ritter bags are good. Have had one for 6 years and it’s still going strong after years of traveling to gigs and rehearsals!

I got one of these from Andertons when I bought my Gretsch. I would rather it didn't have a shop's logo on but it's actually a really good quality case  (and was free)

I've had a Warwick one for years used for my strat gigging. It's still hanging in there! Great value

The premium gig bag from thomann is better than the PRS SE bag imo

+1 for Ritter

I have a couple...
1. Suhr gig bag - totally unused - £70 posted
2. Ritter acoustic gig bag ('star pak style 3') - excellent condition - top of the range from a few years back - £50 posted

They're huge! Thicker than a Hiscox for sure.

The PRS ones are superb
