Guitar Gig Bag for 3/4 Size, 1/2 or 1/4 Size Guitar

I bought a guitar for my son's birthday, and decided - right from the start - to get him into the habit of looking after it, so bought a protective case. He's only 10, and hard cases are both expensive and heavy, so I opted for a soft one. Not having much experience with guitar cases, I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for, though now I have it, here's some things I'll look for in the next one we buy.1. It's completely floppy - I was hoping for a little rigidity, either in the bottom or the cover to help it hold its shape. Which would have made it harder to ship, but would make it so much easier to get the guitar into. A completely cloth case is really tricky to get the instrument into unless you lay it out flat, open it up and place the guitar into it, and even then it's a bugger to zip up afterwards.2. There is a pocket, and that's useful enough for spare strings and whatnot, but it's not quite deep or wide enough (and we're talking millimetres here) to fit a standard-side music book into. It's too small by a hair and that's very frustrating.3. The front pocket has no extra room in it (it's not designed to bulge out toward the front, but sits completely flat against the guitar). If you want to keep all your stuff together and have bought an electronic tuner, metronome or even a little tin of plectrums and whatnot, be very wary - it'll just take a knock in the right place to let those items damage your guitar. Particularly as the pocket sits over the bridge and the strings, I'm really worried about damaging the instrument.4. The back has 2 back straps (like a rucksack), not one (like a messenger bag that goes across your body), which makes it fussy to carry over any kind of distance. And it makes it very difficult for a child to carry it if they have anything else to carry at the same time (school bag or whatever).I'd definitely NOT use this as a "gig bag" - it won't protect your instrument at all. It's certainly serviceable as a dust cover, but I have no faith in its ability to protect the guitar from damage. And, really, all that could have been improved by the addition of some hard material (even cardboard!) inside the top cover and a sewn-on front pocket that came outward (like on a rucksack) instead of holding items right against the wood.It gets two stars because the item was dispatched quickly, was well-packaged and is otherwise well-made. It's just atrociously designed and I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone planning to give it to a child or who will be taking their guitar out and about with them.

Fits my G-Daughter 3/4 guitar.Has pockets on the side and on the front.The Straps work well and are easy to adjust,Very pleased . Value for the money.

It fits perfectly my child 3/4 guitar and it is made of high quality material. Very useful pocket to store guitar books/notepads.Highly recommended.

Ideal for carrying a guitar

Just the job fits my sons 3/4 guitar perfectly , with a handy zip storage compartment . The best thing is the straps which means it can be worn like a rucksack ,perfect for my son to pop on his back and take to school .

Great item

Very Pleased with the product. I needed for my daughter to carry the guitar to her guitar lessions.

Good product, only problem was that my grand-daughters guitar was too thick for the case. The guitar is a 3/4 size.I tried 2 cases but had the same problem.
