Gator G-ICONDREAD-KHK - Softcase dreadnought acoustic guitar "Gator G-ICON" - Beige

Gator G-ICONDREAD-KHK - Softcase dreadnought acoustic guitar “Gator G-ICON” khaki/beige

The Gator G-ICONDREAD-KHK is a premium semi-rigid gig bag for dreadnought acoustic guitars from Gator's prestigious ICON series . It combines a semi-rigid, multi-layered construction with a weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior in khaki/beige and a khaki micro-velvet interior , offering a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the comfort and lightness of a high-end gig bag.

The ICON design is tailored for touring musicians and discerning users: the gig bag features layers of protection distributed around the entire perimeter , with support blocks for the body and interior , and an adjustable and removable neck support block with a Velcro closure that hugs the guitar and keeps the neck perfectly stable during transport. The khaki micro-velvet interior protects the guitar's finish from scratches, while the semi-rigid chassis absorbs shocks, vibrations, and minor impacts.

On the outside, the G-ICONDREAD-KHK boasts a refined and functional finish : weather-resistant 1000D nylon , rubber bumper reinforcements at key points, and a rain cover with a dedicated pocket for rainy conditions. The zippers feature TSA-compatible pulls for easy air travel, and the back includes a removable luggage tag along with an internal bag tracker with an engraved QR code for registration and identification of the bag.

Designed for the musician on the go, this soft case features concealable backpack straps with a built-in bottle opener , reinforced padded handles on the front, back, and side for various carrying options, and retractable D-rings on the base for a clean look when not in use. Multiple non-slip rubber zones and bumpers help keep the case stable and secure in both vertical and horizontal positions.

In terms of storage, the G-ICONDREAD-KHK includes a large front pocket measuring approximately 44.5 x 40.6 cm , with a key clip/carabiner , ideal for cables, strings, compact pedals, or sheet music. There's also a hidden back pocket for personal documents (passport, wallet, phone) and additional small and medium-sized exterior pockets for smaller accessories. All of this is housed in a gig bag with approximate interior dimensions of 113.0 x 41.9 x 14.0 cm (length x width x height) and exterior dimensions of approximately 121.9 x 47.0 x 21.6 cm , weighing approximately 5.5 kg , optimized for the vast majority of standard dreadnought acoustic guitars.
