Gator G-ICON335-GRY - Gray ICON semi-rigid softcase for 335 semi-acoustic guitar
The Gator G-ICON335-GRY is a premium semi-rigid gig bag from the ICON series , designed specifically for 335-style semi-acoustic guitars (semi-hollow/thinline double-cutaway guitars). Its semi-rigid, multi-layered construction , weather-resistant gray 1000D nylon exterior , and gray micro-velvet interior offer a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the convenience and lightness of a high-end gig bag .
The weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior provides excellent protection against tears, scuffs, and splashes, making it ideal for touring, daily transport, and heavy use. Inside, the guitar rests on a very soft gray micro-velvet lining with approximately 30 mm of padding, protecting the body and neck finish from bumps and scratches. The semi-rigid, multi-layered structure maintains the case's shape and absorbs impacts without collapsing.
The ICON 335 incorporates a removable and adjustable neck support block with a Velcro closure, as well as body support blocks that can be positioned to fit various 335-style guitars. This stabilizes the guitar during transport and minimizes internal movement. The space is sized for most standard 335 semi-hollow guitars, with approximate interior dimensions of 113.0 x 43.2 x 8.9 cm (length x width x height), a body height of 8.9 cm , and widths of 36.1 cm (upper lobe) , 39.1 cm (waist) , and 43.2 cm (lower lobe) .
On the outside, the G-ICON335-GRY features a large front pocket with internal compartments and a key clip for cables, cords, and accessories, as well as additional pockets , including a hidden back pocket measuring approximately 44.5 x 15.2 cm for a passport, wallet, phone, or other valuables. It also includes a pop-out luggage tag and an internal bag tracker with a laser-engraved QR code to register the case and facilitate its identification if lost.
Portability is another of its strengths: it features padded backpack-style straps that stow away in a dedicated compartment at the base, complete with an integrated bottle opener , as well as reinforced padded handles on the front, back, and side. Rubber bumpers at the support points protect the case when placed on the ground or against hard surfaces. The zipper pulls on the main compartment are TSA-compatible , making it easy to carry on airplanes. As an added bonus, the case includes a stylish rain cover with a dedicated storage pocket.
With approximate external dimensions of 121.9 x 48.3 x 15.2 cm (length x width x depth) and a weight close to 5.1 kg , the Gator G-ICON335-GRY positions itself as one of the most complete and secure solutions on the market for protecting and transporting 335 semi-acoustic guitars in professional and demanding contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of guitar is the G-ICON335-GRY designed for?
This model is designed for semi-hollow 335-style guitars . For reference, the guitar should fit within approximate interior dimensions of 113.0 cm total length , 43.2 cm maximum width , and 8.9 cm body height , with a body outline similar to classic 335 models.
Is the case completely waterproof?
The 1000D nylon exterior is weather-resistant and splash-proof , suitable for moderate rain. A rain cover is also included for extra protection. However, it is not a completely waterproof system, so it is not intended for immersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain without the rain cover in place.
Can I hide the backpack straps?
Yes. The backpack-style straps are concealed in a compartment at the base of the case, with pockets for the D-rings that leave a clean exterior appearance when you only want to use hand-carrying.
What is the function of the luggage tag and the bag tracker with QR code?
The fold-out luggage tag allows you to write contact information visible from the outside, while the internal bag tracker with laser-engraved QR code serves to register the case and facilitate its identification in case of loss or incident during transport.
Is it suitable for intensive use on tours?
Yes. The ICON series is designed for musicians who travel frequently, featuring a semi-rigid, multi-layered construction, 1000D nylon, rubber bumpers, multiple handles, and padded straps . It's always recommended to properly secure the case in vehicles and avoid excessive weight on top during transport.
Usage and maintenance tips
To get the most out of the protection system, adjust the neck block to the height and thickness of your 335 guitar and position the body blocks so the guitar is centered, with no pressure points on the bridge or headstock. Always make sure to close the inner straps before closing the gig bag.
For maintenance, clean the 1000D nylon exterior with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding solvents or abrasive products. If the micro-velvet interior gets damp, leave the case open in a well-ventilated area until it dries completely before storing the guitar. Use the rain cover outdoors in inclement weather and periodically check zippers, seams, and handles to ensure optimal long-term functionality.
