Is the case rigid?
It's not a hard case: it's a mid-to-high-end padded sleeve . The body is flexible, but the 20mm padding and internal reinforcements provide considerable protection against moderate bumps and scratches, superior to a simple gig bag.
Does it protect the mast and blade well?
Yes. It incorporates internal reinforcements in the blade and bridge area that help prevent wear from contact and add protection at these critical points, reducing the risk of damage to the mast during transport.
Is it water resistant?
The black nylon exterior is resistant to splashes and light rain , sufficient for normal street conditions. It is not a waterproof case and is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How is it for long journeys on your back?
The GB-4G-ACOUSTIC is equipped with padded, adjustable backpack-style straps and a contoured back panel , making it comfortable for medium-length journeys. For very long treks or when carrying more gear, it's still advisable to adjust the straps and alternate with hand-carrying.
How many pockets does it have?
It features a large front exterior pocket with ample space for accessories (cables, strings, tuner, small tools, etc.) and internal organizer pockets designed to keep your belongings tidy. The design also includes a Pick-Clip on the pocket's zipper pull, so you can always have a spare pick handy.
