Gator G-ICON335-KHK - Softcase semi-acoustic guitar 335 "Gator G-ICON" - Beige

Gator G-ICON335-KHK - Softcase semi-acoustic guitar type 335 “Gator G-ICON” khaki/beige

The Gator G-ICON335-KHK is a premium semi-rigid gig bag for 335-style semi-acoustic guitars , belonging to Gator's prestigious ICON series . It combines a semi-rigid, multi-layered structure with a weather-resistant 1000D khaki nylon exterior and a khaki micro-velvet interior , achieving a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the lightness and comfort of a high-end gig bag.

Designed for semi-hollow guitars like the ES-335, this soft case offers comprehensive protection for the body and neck . Inside, it features an adjustable and removable neck support block with a Velcro closure, which immobilizes the instrument during transport, as well as support blocks in the body area that help absorb shocks and vibrations. The khaki micro-velvet lining envelops the guitar, preventing scratches and protecting the finish, whether the body has a gloss top or a satin or matte finish.

The ICON Series' multi-layered construction integrates semi-rigid panels, padding, and strategic reinforcements throughout the gig bag. The weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior protects against splashes and heavy use, while rubber bumpers and reinforced support zones at the base and sides help withstand the daily wear and tear of stages, airports, vehicles, and rough floors.

For transport, the G-ICON335-KHK features concealable backpack straps with a built-in bottle opener , as well as padded and reinforced handles on the front, back, and side , allowing for multiple carrying options. The base includes pockets for concealing D-rings , maintaining a clean look when additional attachment points aren't needed. The main compartment zippers use TSA-compatible pulls , which are very useful for air travel.

In terms of storage, this soft case offers a large front pocket measuring approximately 44.5 x 15.2 cm (17.5" x 6") with an internal carabiner/key clip , ideal for cables, strings, small pedals, tuners, or sheet music. It also includes a hidden rear pocket for a passport, wallet, smartphone, and personal documents, as well as small and medium-sized external pockets for accessories. For extended travel, it features a removable external luggage tag and an internal bag tracker with an engraved QR code for easy registration and identification of the case.

In terms of dimensions, the G-ICON335-KHK is optimized for standard 335-style guitars, with approximate interior dimensions of 113.0 x 43.2 x 8.9 cm (length x width x interior height), a body length of about 50.2 cm , and body widths of 43.2 cm (lower curve), 39.1 cm (waist), and 36.1 cm (upper curve) .

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of guitar does the G-ICON335-KHK support?
This case is specifically designed for 335 style semi-hollow electric guitars (e.g., ES-335 type formats), provided their dimensions remain within the approximate interior dimensions of 113.0 x 43.2 x 8.9 cm .

Is it a soft or hard case?
It is a semi-rigid, multi-layered soft case : it offers much more protection than a conventional soft case thanks to its reinforced panels and internal blocks, but it is still lighter and more comfortable than a rigid wooden or plastic case.

Does it protect against the rain?
Yes. The 1000D nylon exterior is weather-resistant and also includes a rain cover with its own pocket. However, it's not a completely waterproof system, so it's not designed for immersion or prolonged, heavy rain.

Can the backpack straps be stored?
Yes. The backpack straps tuck away into their dedicated compartment when not in use, which helps prevent snagging and maintain a clean look when carrying by hand or in vehicles.

Can I lock the case?
The main compartment incorporates TSA-compatible zipper pulls , so you can add standard luggage locks to increase the instrument's security while traveling.

What kind of accessories fit in the pockets?
The large front pocket accommodates cables, strings, small effects units, tuners, sheet music notebooks, or thin tablets. The hidden back pocket is ideal for personal documents (passport, wallet, phone), while the additional pockets can hold keys, capos, tools, slides, and other small accessories.
