Has the build quality of a typical budget chinese product
V. Swchwrm 20.11.2024
Is on paper well designed with lot of practical features - except for the buckle on the flap over the front pocket, makes no sense at all - with good sturdy foam to offer plenty of protection for most situations.
But it is the build quality that let me down. Loose fit of the fabric, different things are fitted not straight or lob-sided (like front bag and one of reinforcements of the carrying handle), edge of the rubber protection on the bottom is ragged. Overall a quality you would not expect of an "A" brand like Gator. Might as well save some money and buy a budget branded gigbag in this case.
On top of that, Thomann decided to ship this bag folded in the smallest box possible. One of the positive things of this gigbag is the firm, almost softcase like foam, which does not let itself easily bended of folded. But thomann thought this would be a good idea and they needed a lot of tape too on the plastic bag that the gigbag came in. Result: irreversible dented foam (I did let it rest for a couple of days, but it stayed that way).
A very rare occasion Thomann did let me down in their service though…
So back it went and I will be looking out for something with better value for money.

I decided to get this gigback as it looks good and doesn't have huge logo or any fancy ornaments and it's supposed to be weather-proof, so no extra rain cover needed.
Inner padding is thicker than expected and it looks like it could protect my guitar from any harm.
Pros:
- large pocket for all cables, and stuff I need when on the move with the guitar.
- thick padding
- adjustable neck support and extra padding at the top, bottom
- comfortable, soft shoulder straps
- extra metal loops useful for attaching extra stuff
Cons:
- large pocket has this fancy, not fully adjustable hook-like buckle
- I don't mind the red padding, but would go for gray or black if it was possible

I really like the Gig-Bag, as it is kinda luxury inside, nice sturdy zipper and the carrying comfort / possibilities are super. It is a little stiff compared to other cheaper gig-bags, but that adds to the top-quality feeling. Buy, if you need a good gig-bag.
These are very nice and easy to use bags. And I'm usually a MONO user! Of course they don't protect nearly as much and a fall may be fatal, but they are great if you usually commute by car.
