Frequently Asked Questions
Does this case fit any dreadnought acoustic guitar?
It's designed for standard-sized dreadnought acoustic guitars . The approximate internal dimensions (1130 mm overall length, 419 mm lower body width, and 140 mm body height) cover most models. If your guitar has a very unusual shape or extra depth, you should compare its measurements with the internal specifications.
Is it a hard or soft case?
It's a semi-rigid soft case : not a hard flight case, but its multi-layered structure and high-density padding provide significantly greater protection than a standard soft case. It's designed for intensive professional use.
Can backpack straps be hidden?
Yes. The backpack-style straps are concealable and integrate into the back with a system of pockets and rings, so the case maintains a clean look when carried only by the handles.
Is the case suitable for air travel?
The G-ICONDREAD-GRN is designed for frequent travelers : it includes TSA-compatible zipper pulls , a luggage tag, and a very high level of protection. However, baggage policies vary by airline and type of travel (cabin or hold), so it's always advisable to confirm conditions and consider a dedicated hard case if you frequently check luggage.
