Gator GL-APX - Hybrid soft case for APX-style acoustic guitar (EPS + 600D nylon, strap and pockets)
The Gator GL-APX is a hybrid soft case custom-designed for APX-style thin-body acoustic guitars (e.g., Yamaha APX and equivalent thin-line formats). It combines the lightness and portability of a gig bag with the structural protection of a hard case, thanks to its dense EPS foam core and plush lining , which hug the instrument and protect it from bumps and scratches. The 600D nylon exterior forms a water-resistant shield for everyday use and includes a heavy-duty webbing carrying handle and a detachable shoulder strap for comfortable transport. Inside, you'll find two accessory compartments (for capo, strings, tuner), and zippered pockets on the front for organizing essentials. Internal and external dimensions verified in metric are listed below.
