Gator G-ICON335-GRN - Softcase semi-acoustic guitar 335 “Gator G-ICON” semi-rigid 1000D – Green
The Gator G-ICON335-GRN is a premium semi-rigid gig bag for 335-style semi-acoustic guitars , part of Gator's ICON series . It's designed for ES-335 style electric guitars and similar models, offering a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the convenience, lightness, and carrying capacity of a modern gig bag. Its semi-rigid, multi-layered construction combines a weather-resistant green 1000D nylon exterior with a green micro-velvet interior and adjustable support blocks that secure the body and neck during transport.
The main compartment is specifically designed for 335-style semi-hollow guitars . The approximate interior dimensions are: overall length 1130 mm , upper box width 361 mm , middle box width 391 mm , lower box width 432 mm , body height 89 mm , headstock width 152 mm , and body length approximately 502 mm . This accommodates most standard-scale 335 semi-acoustic guitars, providing just enough space for the instrument and the high-density padding.
The exterior is made of weather-resistant 1000D green nylon , designed for intensive use on tours and urban commutes. The semi-rigid structure incorporates rubber bumpers and reinforced padded handles on the front, back, and side, allowing the case to be carried in various positions. The interior is fully lined with soft-touch green micro-velvet and high-density padding , protecting the guitar's finish from bumps, scratches, and vibrations during transport.
Inside, there's a removable and adjustable neck support block with a hook-and-loop closure that stabilizes the guitar and prevents unwanted movement. Internal body blocks add extra protection around the body. On the outside, the gig bag features concealable, padded backpack straps with an integrated bottle opener and D-ring pockets at the base , allowing you to store and tidy up the bindings so the gig bag maintains a clean look when not in backpack mode.
The accessory storage area is well thought out: a large front pocket measuring approximately 445 x 152 mm with a key clip allows you to store cables, ropes, small pedals, or tools. There are also additional small and medium-sized external pockets , plus a hidden pocket on the back for quick access to your passport, wallet, mobile phone, or other personal items. For travel, the case includes a removable external luggage tag and an internal tracker with a laser-engraved QR code for easy registration and identification.
Designed for the frequently traveling musician, the G-ICON335-GRN features TSA-compatible zipper pulls on the main compartment, making airport security easier. It also includes a stylish rain cover with a dedicated pocket , adding a second layer of protection against heavy rain. The approximate external dimensions are 1219 x 483 x 152 mm (length x width x height), and it weighs around 5.1 kg , a very well-balanced weight for such a complete semi-rigid gig bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this case compatible with any 335-type guitar?
The G-ICON335-GRN is designed for standard-sized 335/ES-335 style semi-acoustic guitars . The approximate internal dimensions (1130 mm overall length, 432 mm lower body width, 89 mm body height) cover most models. If your guitar has a unique geometry, you should compare its dimensions with the internal specifications.
Is it a hard or soft case?
It's a semi-rigid gig bag : not a wooden flight case, but its multi-layered structure with internal reinforcement and high-density padding offers far superior protection than a standard soft case. It's designed for intensive use on tours, rehearsals, and frequent travel.
Can backpack straps be hidden?
Yes. The backpack-style straps are concealable and tuck away into the back and D-ring pockets at the base, so the case maintains a clean look when carried by the handles only.
Is the case suitable for air travel?
The G-ICON335-GRN includes zipper pulls compatible with luggage locks and a very robust semi-rigid structure, making it well-suited for travel. However, transport conditions (cabin or hold) depend on each airline; for hold baggage, it's advisable to check the specific policies and consider, if you use it frequently, an additional hard case.
What is the actual capacity of the large front pocket?
The front pocket, measuring approximately 445 x 152 mm, easily accommodates instrument cables, sets of strings, a tuner, small tools, a compact pedal, or a notebook. It also includes a key clip to keep your keys easily accessible.
Is the cover really rainproof?
The 1000D nylon exterior is weather-resistant and holds up well to moderate rain and splashes. For heavy rain, the included rain cover provides a second barrier and helps keep the guitar dry in more extreme situations.
What is the function of the internal tracker with QR code?
The case includes an internal bag tracker with a laser-engraved QR code . By registering it, you can link the case to your information, making it easy to identify if it gets lost or mixed up with other cases on tours, at festivals, or at school.
