Gator GB-4G-UKE-SOP - "Gator Nylon 4G" soprano ukulele case with 20 mm GFLEX padding
The Gator GB-4G-UKE-SOP is a gig bag for soprano ukuleles from Gator's renowned 4G series, commercially known as the "Gator Nylon 4G." It combines a durable nylon exterior with 20mm GFLEX padding on all sides and internal reinforcements on the headstock and bridge, offering far superior protection than a basic gig bag without the weight of a hard case.
Designed specifically for soprano-style ukuleles , this gig bag fits most standard models on the market. Its approximate interior dimensions are: overall length 546 mm (54.6 cm), body length 267 mm (26.7 cm), body depth 70 mm (7.0 cm), and bottom width 197 mm (19.7 cm), with middle and top widths of approximately 184 mm and 159 mm respectively. The exterior dimensions are approximately 597 x 248 x 89 mm (length x width x height), with an approximate weight of 0.6 kg , resulting in a lightweight, comfortable, and very easy-to-carry gig bag.
The construction features a high-strength black nylon exterior and a 20mm GFLEX padded interior that completely surrounds the ukulele. The back incorporates ergonomic padding for greater comfort when carrying it on your back, while the interior has additional reinforcement in the headstock and bridge areas to prevent premature wear in these critical zones. The zipper closure and stitching pattern are designed to withstand heavy use.
On the outside, there's a front zippered pocket for storing a tuner, strings, capo, small cables, or sheet music. The 4G series also features a patented Pick-Clip on the zipper pull, where you can attach an emergency pick (ideal if you also play guitar or ukulele with a pick). For transport, the GB-4G-UKE-SOP offers a thick rubber side handle and padded, adjustable backpack straps , plus a top loop for hanging the case when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this case fit any soprano ukulele?
Yes, it's designed for soprano-style ukuleles . The interior dimensions (total length approx. 546 mm and bottom body width approx. 197 mm) comfortably fit the vast majority of standard models. If your ukulele is particularly large or has an unusual shape, you should compare the measurements with the interior specifications.
Is 20mm GFLEX padding sufficient for travel?
The 20mm padding on all sides provides excellent protection for everyday travel, public transport, rehearsals, and gigs. It's not a substitute for a hard-shell flight case for extended trips or checked baggage, but it's superior to what basic thin nylon gig bags offer.
Does it have space to store accessories?
Yes. The GB-4G-UKE-SOP features a front zippered pocket where you can store a tuner, strings, capo, small chord book, or even a mini instrument cable, plus the Pick-Clip on the pull tab for an emergency pick.
Is it comfortable to carry on your back?
The case includes padded, adjustable backpack-style straps and contoured back padding , making it comfortable even on longer journeys. Additionally, the rubber side handle allows you to switch between carrying it over your shoulder or by hand, depending on the situation.
Does it protect against the rain?
The nylon exterior offers good resistance to light rain and splashes . For heavy or prolonged rain, it is advisable to avoid direct exposure or use additional protection, as it is not a completely waterproof cover.
Does the case include any kind of rigid structure?
It's not a hard case, but a padded gig bag . Protection comes from 20mm GFLEX padding and reinforcements in key areas, while maintaining a very low weight. It's the perfect option when you're looking for a balance between protection and lightness.
Design and materials
The GB-4G-UKE-SOP gig bag features a robust black nylon exterior that withstands everyday wear and tear: scuffs, minor bumps, and frequent placement on the floor. Inside, 20mm GFLEX padding covers all sides of the bag and is complemented by specific reinforcements in the headstock and bridge areas , where stress tends to concentrate when the ukulele is placed inside the case.
On the back, contoured padding enhances comfort when carrying it on your back, while padded, adjustable backpack straps allow you to customize the fit. The thick rubber side handle ensures a firm and durable grip. The front pocket , the Pick-Clip system on the zipper pull, and the sleek design of the 4G series complete a well-balanced package to accompany your soprano ukulele in any situation.
