Gator G-ICONELECTRIC - Premium ICON Weatherproof Softcase for Electric Guitar - Black
The Gator G-ICONELECTRIC is a high-end gig bag from the ICON series, designed for electric guitars and intended for musicians who travel frequently. Its semi-rigid, multi-layered design , weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior, and high-density padded micro-velvet interior provide a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the comfort and lightness of a gig bag.
The 1000 denier nylon exterior offers excellent resistance to wear, light rain, and splashes. It also features TSA-compatible zippers , allowing you to secure the cover with a small, approved luggage lock—ideal for long trips and air travel. For heavier downpours, the ICON includes an integrated rain cover with its own pocket, which quickly unfolds over the entire cover.
Inside, the G-ICONELECTRIC features a soft-to-the-touch micro-velvet lining that protects the guitar's finish from scratches, along with an adjustable and removable neck support block secured with Velcro. This support system keeps the neck and headstock perfectly aligned, reducing stress on the heel and preventing sudden movements. The body area is reinforced with additional padding that acts as a cushion against impacts.
With approximate interior dimensions of 1080 mm long x 343 mm maximum width x 70 mm deep and a design intended for most ST, T, LP, and similar- shaped guitars, the case accommodates the vast majority of solid-body electric guitars. The exterior dimensions are approximately 1168 x 406 x 152 mm (length x width x height), and the weight is around 4.35 kg , a very reasonable figure for such a robust soft case.
In terms of transport, the Gator G-ICONELECTRIC offers three options: concealable backpack-style straps for carrying the guitar on your back, three reinforced padded handles (front, back, and side) with rubber stoppers for different grip positions, and a balanced design that makes it easy to move the guitar on stages, in airports, on public transport, or in cars. The front features a large external pocket for cables, compact pedals, or sheet music, and the back includes a hidden, quick-access pocket for valuables (documents, phone, wallet, etc.), as well as other organizational compartments.
All of this makes the Gator G-ICONELECTRIC a premium electric guitar case , very suitable for tours, professional use, high-level academies or any musician who wants to take a leap in quality compared to standard padded cases.
