Gator GB-4G-MINIACOU - Mini acoustic guitar gig bag with 20mm GFLEX padding and backpack straps
The Gator GB-4G-MINIACOU is a padded gig bag from the Gator 4G series, designed specifically for mini acoustic guitars , such as the Baby Taylor, Martin LX, and similarly sized models. It combines a durable nylon exterior with 20mm GFLEX padding on all sides , offering significantly better protection than a basic gig bag without the weight of a hard case. It's an ideal solution for guitarists who are constantly on the go between rehearsals, lessons, gigs, and travel.
The 4G design includes strategic internal reinforcements in the headstock and bridge areas, the most vulnerable points of the mini guitar during transport. The back of the gig bag is padded and contoured for a better fit when worn as a backpack, while the thick rubber side handle allows for a firm and comfortable grip when carried with one hand.
On the outside, the GB-4G-MINIACOU features a large front pocket with a mesh organizer, perfect for storing sheet music, strings, capos, a tuner, or a small tool kit. A signature detail of the 4G series, the zipper pull includes a patented Pick-Clip , allowing you to keep a spare pick within easy reach. All of this comes in a lightweight design, with approximate interior dimensions of 96.5 x 37.5 x 11.4 cm and a weight of around 1.2 kg , optimized for mini acoustic guitars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this case fit any acoustic guitar?
