Thomann Acoustic-Steel Gigbag Elite

I've owned this particular gig bag for a while, and it's served me really well for the last few years I've owned. Aside from looking a bit grubby, a slight pitfall of the cream coloured tolex that forms the majority of the case.

The case itself is larger than it might seem. Easily large enough to hold a dreadnought, and fine for a Orchestra Model or Grand Auditorium model, guitars with lower bouts of 15 and 16 inches. For something smaller, be it a 00 sized guitar or a parlour guitar, this particular case might be a bit too large without the need of using a folded towel or something to provide a closer fit without the guitar moving around too much in the case.

When it comes to padding, the case is fairly robust, it definitely has a strong feel to it. More than enough protection for day to day home storage and for taking to gigs as well.

The guitar case is really well stocked for pockets as well. There are two at the lower bout of the guitar, one which is large enough for a A4 notebook, with a smaller one over that suitable for keeping strings, picks and other accessories. There's a pocket at the top of the case, near the headstock and it's about the size to keep a small dynamic microphone in a soft case if needs be.

Great case, it's served me well in the years for storing my guitar at home and for providing protection to rehearsals and a few gigs.

Bough as Thomman suggested item in packet with HB D-120BK. And tight fit means TIGHT. YOu need to remove strap and neck rest for the guitar to fit. BUT the bag is great, ver well done, mutiple compartments with zippers. Front pocket had smaller ones inside sealed with velcro for tools and what-not. Very comfy wear on back and fit nice when hold in hand. Also the colors are big plus as it make spotting gear easier among, usuall, black bags and cases.

i got his case to be a sort of universal case fom my guitars, it fits them all, its very resistant, it has reinforcements where needed and has a lot of space for you books strings and other stuff, i have used it to travel and i have put shirts and sweaters inside no problem.
all this space come at a price, size and weight, this case protects very well your instruments but i have to say it weights more than some of the guitars i put inside so if you have to carry this for a long time you will feel it, it does have retractable shoulder straps which help but this brings me to the next point, size, the guitar case does not fit in all car trunks, of course the bigger ones yes but it will struggle on some other ones. where a smaller case would have fit aswell as the guitar itself this becomes a bit clumsy. also it sticks quite high above my head making sure i smack in every doorframe or any passage, i may be on the taller side but still.
over all the pros outweigh the cons, i use this regularly and it works perfectly also it looks very nice in this coloration
