Gator G-ICONDREAD-BLU - Blue semi-rigid soft case for dreadnought acoustic guitar “Gator G-ICON”
The Gator G-ICONDREAD-BLU is a premium gig bag from the Gator ICON series, designed specifically for dreadnought acoustic guitars . Its semi-rigid, multi-layered construction combines a weather-resistant 1000D blue nylon exterior with a blue micro-velvet interior and high-density padding, offering a level of protection close to that of a hard case, but with the lightness and comfort of a soft case .
The multi-layered case incorporates approximately 30mm thick foam and a wrap-around design that holds the guitar securely in place, protecting the body, neck, and headstock from impacts and temperature changes. The ultra-soft microfiber/microvelvet interior protects the instrument's finish, whether glossy, satin, or natural wood, preventing scratches when inserting and removing the guitar.
On the outside, the G-ICONDREAD-BLU features strategically placed rubber bumpers on the front, back, and base, reinforcing the areas most exposed to impacts and allowing the case to be placed on the ground without damaging the fabric. The design is completed with concealable backpack straps , a reinforced and padded handle system in several places, and multiple large-capacity pockets, making it a modern and highly practical carrying solution for guitarists on the go.
As distinctive features of the ICON series, this gig bag incorporates TSA-compatible zippers , a removable external luggage tag , and an internal bag tracker with a laser-engraved QR code for quick registration and identification in case of loss. With approximate product dimensions of 123 x 51 x 25 cm (length x width x height), it is optimized for standard dreadnought acoustic guitars and for intensive use on tours, in the studio, and at school.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of guitar is the G-ICONDREAD-BLU designed for?
It's specifically designed for standard dreadnought acoustic guitars . It fits most folk/dreadnought models from common manufacturers. As always, we recommend checking your guitar's measurements and comparing them to the case's dimensions.
Is the case hard or soft?
It is a semi-rigid, multi-layered case: more structured and protective than a typical soft gig bag, but lighter and more manageable than a traditional hard case.
Does it really protect against the rain?
The weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior offers good protection against splashes and light rain. It is not waterproof and therefore not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can the backpack-style straps be hidden?
Yes. The backpack straps are hideaway , so you can stow them away when you don't need them for a cleaner, more convenient look when carrying your backpack by hand or in the trunk.
Can it be locked for travel?
The zipper pulls are designed to be compatible with TSA locks , so you can use a standard luggage lock (not included) on long trips or flights.
