Gator G-ICON335-BLU - Softcase semi-acoustic guitar 335 "Gator G-ICON" - Blue

Gator G-ICON335-BLU - Blue semi-rigid soft case for semi-acoustic guitar 335 “Gator G-ICON”

The Gator G-ICON335-BLU is a premium semi-rigid soft case from the Gator ICON series, designed specifically for 335/ES-335 style semi-acoustic guitars. It combines a multi-layered shell with a weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior and a soft micro-velvet interior, achieving a level of protection very close to that of a hard case but with the lightness and comfort of a modern gig bag. Its blue color visually distinguishes it from classic gig bags, maintaining a sleek and professional aesthetic.

The semi-rigid case incorporates approximately 30mm of high-density padding that envelops the guitar and protects the body, neck, and headstock from the bumps and vibrations common during tours, rehearsals, and urban travel. The interior is lined with very soft microfiber/microvelvet , designed to protect the instrument's finish (gloss, satin, or natural lacquer) and prevent scratches when inserting or removing the guitar.

For enhanced protection, the G-ICON335-BLU features rubber bumpers on the base and strategic areas of the front and back, absorbing impacts and allowing the case to be placed on the floor without damaging the fabric. Inside, it includes a removable neck rest and neck support blocks to stabilize the instrument during transport. Its approximate interior dimensions are 113.0 cm overall length , 50.2 cm body length , with widths of 43.2 cm (lower) , 39.1 cm (waist) , and 36.1 cm (shoulder) , and a body height of 8.9 cm , making it ideal for most 335-style semi-hollow guitars.

On the outside, you'll find padded, concealable backpack-style straps , reinforced handles in several places, and ample pockets for accessories (cables, compact pedals, sheet music, strings, capos, etc.). Like the rest of the ICON series, it features TSA-compatible zippers , a removable luggage tag , and an internal bag tracker with a laser-engraved QR code to register the case and easily identify it if lost. Many retailers also include an additional rain cover for extra protection against heavy rain.
