Gator G-ICONELECTRIC-KH - Premium ICON semi-rigid soft case for electric guitar, beige
The Gator G-ICONELECTRIC-KH is a premium semi-rigid gig bag from the Gator ICON series, designed to offer a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the lightness and comfort of a modern gig bag. Intended for guitarists who are constantly on the move between gigs, rehearsals, studio time, and travel, this beige/khaki soft case combines an extremely durable multi-layer construction with a soft khaki micro-velvet interior, ensuring both the instrument's safety and its aesthetic appeal.
The exterior is made of weather-resistant 1000D nylon with a semi-rigid, multi-layered structure that helps absorb shocks and pressure during transport. This construction allows the case to maintain its shape even when empty, making it easy to insert and remove the guitar effortlessly. Reinforced rubber bumpers are located on the base and sides, protecting both the case and the instrument when it is placed on the ground or slides over rough surfaces.
Inside, the G-ICONELECTRIC-KH features approximately 30 mm of padding and a very soft micro-velvet lining that protects the guitar's finish from scratches and bumps. It includes a removable and adjustable neck support block with a Velcro closure, as well as internal body blocks that allow for a customized fit to various solid-body electric guitar models. This ensures the instrument is held securely inside, minimizing movement during transport.
The case's carrying capacity and organization have also been carefully considered. On the front, there's a large external pocket measuring approximately 419 x 330 mm , complete with a key clip and internal compartments for cables, strings, small pedals, sheet music, or other commonly used accessories. It also includes additional smaller pockets and a hidden pocket on the back for discreetly storing personal items such as a passport, wallet, or phone. A fold-out luggage tag and an internal identification system with an engraved QR code make it easy to check in and locate the case while traveling.
For transport, the Gator G-ICONELECTRIC-KH offers several options: concealable backpack-style straps with a clean folding system and integrated bottle opener , as well as reinforced padded handles on the front, side, and back, allowing you to carry the guitar in different positions depending on the situation. The main compartment zippers are TSA-compatible , very useful for air travel. As an added bonus, a stylish rain cover with its own pocket is included, providing extra protection against moisture when the weather turns bad.
In terms of dimensions, the soft case has approximate external dimensions of 1168 x 406 x 152 mm (length x width x height) and weighs approximately 4.4 kg . The interior offers a total usable length of 1080 mm , with body widths of around 290 mm (top), 320 mm (middle), and 343 mm (bottom) , a body length of approximately 476 mm , a headstock width of approximately 152 mm , and a body height of 70 mm . These dimensions make it suitable for the vast majority of standard 6-string solid-body electric guitars, including ST, T, single-cut, and double-cut models, provided the specified dimensions are respected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with any electric guitar?
The G-ICONELECTRIC-KH is designed for the vast majority of 6-string solid-body electric guitars (Strait, Tele, standard single-cut and double-cut models). However, it's important to compare your guitar's dimensions with the internal measurements (overall length 1080 mm, maximum body width 343 mm, body height 70 mm, headstock width ~152 mm).
Can it be used with 7-string or baritone guitars?
Some 7-string or more compact baritone models might fit, but it's not specifically designed for them. In these cases, it's advisable to carefully check the body and headstock dimensions before deciding.
Is the case completely rigid?
It's not a wooden or ABS case, but a semi-rigid, multi-layered sleeve . It offers far superior protection to a traditional soft case, while maintaining a relatively low weight.
Does it include rain protection?
Yes. It has an integrated rain cover with its own pocket, which can be quickly removed when needed and stored away again when the weather improves.
Can backpack-style straps be hidden?
Yes. The backpack straps can be concealed in a back compartment, so the case maintains a clean aesthetic when carried by the handles only.
Can I lock the case?
The zippers on the main compartment are compatible with TSA-type locks or similar, making it easy to secure access to the guitar on long journeys.
Compatibility and usage recommendations
- Measure the guitar (total length, maximum body width, body height, and headstock width) and compare with the inside dimensions of the case.
- Adjust the neck block and body blocks so that the instrument is firmly held, without any play or excessive pressure points.
- Always fully close the zippers before lifting the case by the handles or straps.
- Avoid placing it on extremely abrasive surfaces or sharp objects, even if it has rubber stops and reinforcements.
- On long trips, take advantage of the luggage tag and the internal identifier with QR code for better traceability of the case.
