Gator GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN - Transit softcase gig bag for acoustic guitar, camel brown
The Gator GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN is a premium soft case from the Transit series , designed specifically for acoustic guitars . It combines the lightness of a gig bag with a semi-rigid internal structure that offers protection very close to that of a hard case, with a weather-resistant camel-brown (tan) mixed-fabric exterior and a high-quality padded interior designed for the daily use of guitarists who are constantly on the move between rehearsals, gigs, and the studio.
The exterior of the GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN is made from a water- and abrasion-resistant combination fabric , designed to withstand light rain, scuffs, and the heavy use typical of tours and gigs. The base of the gig bag incorporates a thick rubber tread that protects the bottom from small puddles, wet floors, and spills on stage, as well as reducing wear from continuous pressure.
Inside, the guitar rests on approximately 20mm thick foam padding , covered with a very soft microfiber lining that protects the instrument's finish. A rigid internal structure integrated into the case frame provides stability and prevents twisting, offering a "case" feel but in a lighter format. The three-point internal padding system (adjustable and removable) specifically supports and protects the headstock, neck, and tailpiece , adapting to different acoustic guitar designs.
With approximate interior dimensions of 111.5 cm overall length , 61.98 cm body length , 40.9 cm width at the bottom of the body , and 13.97 cm body height , the GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN is designed to fit most dreadnought, folk, and many standard-sized jumbo acoustic guitars. Its exterior dimensions are approximately 113 × 46 × 19.6 cm , and it weighs around 2.4 kg , striking a good balance between protection and portability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which acoustic guitar models does this case fit?
The GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN is designed for large-bodied acoustic guitars , primarily dreadnoughts, folk guitars, and many standard jumbos . Its approximate internal dimensions are: overall length 111.5 cm , body length 62 cm , lower body width 40.9 cm , waist width 32 cm , shoulder width 30.5 cm , and body height 14 cm . It is recommended to compare these measurements with those of your guitar if the body is particularly large or of an unusual design.
Does it protect as well as a hard case?
It offers protection very close to that of a hard case thanks to its semi-rigid internal structure and thick padding, but it's still a soft case. For trips where the guitar will be checked or subjected to very heavy loads, a traditional hard case remains the safest option. For everyday use, the GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN offers an excellent balance between protection and weight.
Is the case waterproof?
The outer fabric is weather-resistant and splash-proof, and the rubber base protects against small puddles or wet floors. It is not a waterproof cover, so it is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can the backpack straps be removed?
Yes. The backpack-style straps are padded and removable , so you can take them off if you prefer to carry the guitar only by the side handle or store it in a small space.
What is the actual capacity of our pockets?
The large front pocket , with a zipper and flap featuring a G-hook, is designed to hold sheet music, notebooks, cables, small pedals, or a lightweight folding stand. The small flap pocket has a soft lining and offers quick access to items such as a phone, keys, headphones, capos, or compact tuners.
Is it too heavy for everyday use?
No. Weighing approximately 2.4 kg empty, it's lightweight for the level of protection it offers . The ergonomic straps and padded handle help distribute the weight comfortably, even on longer journeys.
Design and materials
The Gator GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN belongs to the Transit series , developed for musicians who need a robust gig bag with a modern, urban aesthetic. The exterior is made of a weather-resistant, textile-like fabric in a camel/brown color, reinforced at the base with a thick rubber sole that absorbs impacts and prevents the fabric from coming into direct contact with harsh surfaces. The interior combines 20mm high-density foam with a soft microfiber lining that complements the guitar's finish. The rigid internal structure integrated into the frame is designed to prevent the gig bag from sagging and to keep the guitar upright even when placed vertically.
Transport and ergonomics
In terms of ergonomics, the GT-ACOUSTIC-TAN features a molded, padded, and contoured handle for easy one-handed carrying. The padded, removable backpack straps allow for height and spacing adjustments to suit each user. Various D-rings distributed throughout the case allow for attaching ID tags, carabiners, or small additional pouches. Thanks to its relatively compact size for a large acoustic instrument and its light weight, it's a case that's easy to handle on stairs, in hallways, on stages, or on public transport.
