Gator GBE-UKE-CON - Gator Nylon ECO padded concert ukulele gig bag with backpack straps
The Gator GBE-UKE-CON is a soft, padded gig bag for concert ukuleles from the “Gator Nylon ECO” series, designed for those who need lightweight and practical protection for everyday use. Its water-resistant 600 denier nylon exterior acts as a shield against splashes, scuffs, and minor bumps, while the 10mm foam padding inside keeps the ukulele safe from bumps and scratches during transport.
This concert ukulele gig bag combines the simplicity of an affordable gig bag with features found in higher-end models: integrated backpack straps for carrying the instrument on your back, a reinforced nylon carrying handle for easy one-handed transport, and a spacious front zippered pocket perfect for strings, a tuner, a capo, small scores, or maintenance accessories. All this in a very lightweight design, weighing approximately 0.47 kg , ideal for students, teachers, and musicians who travel frequently.
The interior features 10mm high-density foam padding throughout the case, providing even protection for the ukulele's body, neck, and headstock. The headstock and neck areas are reinforced to protect the instrument at its most vulnerable points, helping to prevent damage to tuning pegs and joints. The nearly full-length side zipper allows the case to open wide and the ukulele to be easily inserted without any effort.
Designed specifically for concert-sized ukuleles , the GBE-UKE-CON offers approximate interior dimensions of 63.5 cm overall length , 30.5 cm body length , 22.6 cm width at the bottom , and 7.9 cm body height . The exterior dimensions are approximately 65.8 x 24.9 x 10.4 cm (length x width x height), making it a very compact case that's easy to store in lockers, shelves, or car trunks.
