ChromaCast Guitar Padded Gig Bag

Don't know what the issue is between the seller and Amazon. Yes, there were times when these bags were "unobtainium" and/or cost a lot more. As for the product, however, I'm quite happy with the five I've bought over the last few years. I agree with most five-star review comments (good padding, lotsa pockets, etc.) For the guitars I build and (try to) sell, these are perfect choice and way superior to the paper-thin nylon carry bags. (Shows I got class, right?) Anyway, I'll continue to (try to) buy them for the guitars I build-to-sell and the my "keeper" guitars that came without cases. Hopefully, they'll continue to be "obtainium" and again meet Amazon's "Add to cart" button criteria.

Fantastic case for my Statocaster style guitar. The case that came with my guitar was absolute garbage although the guitar itself is fantastic and gorgeous so I had to get a case that was padded and made well with plenty of storage. After reading all the positive reviews I couldn't go wrong for 22 bucks after tax. It arrived on time as always. Comes folded up in quite a small bag that says ChromaCast on it. I unrolled it than worked out all the folds till it was straight and th he incredible quality was already clear to me. The outside of the case is made of the most durable nylon on the market, the inside of the guitar compartment which is padded on rear sides and front is made of very fine high thread count nylon as to not scratch whatever beautiful finish your guitar has, we all know we stare at them and drool after a good polishing....Haha. I was very happy with the feel and thread count of the inside of the guitar compartment. I will say my Strat style guitar is the biggest bodied guitar it will fit. Its snug but thats ok with me because it's not overly tight and love the neck strap. The case has spiked rows of hard rubber feet at the bottom of the case that are nice and wide which allows you to store your guitar in its p et otective case, prop it upright against a wall and it's a nice stable stand and a protective case in one, I love this as it keeps my cats from bothering my guitar and since I play it for hours a day it's just the perfect option for me for storage and has everything but my amp in it. This is an extremely high quality case. The backpack str as ps are padded and comfortable but I dont like carrying my guitar like a backpack. The side handles one has a velcro wrap so you velcro the two side carry straps together and that piece that velcro the two straps together becomes a very nice handle, than there is also a very nice rubber molded gripper front handle so yo can set it down to act as a stand using that. I would give this case 10 stars if I could, because the quality of case you get for 20 bucks is equal or even better than some 80 dollar cases I've looked at at a few local guitar shops. I carried in my guitar and said you guys really need to carry this case and had my favorite store look it over and they were impressed with the guitar stand pocket along with the perfect amount of padding for the guitar and they were impressed by the it and asked me how much I paid for it and when i said 22 bucks with tax shipped to my door in 2 days their jaws dropped. They had nothing close to this nice with cases at the 49 dollar range you would have had to pay stle ssd t 69.99 to get something that's still not as heavy duty as the chromacast electric guitar case. If your thinking about getting it stop thinking and just get it because you will be very proud of this purchase.

A great buy, in my opinion. I have the electric bag. I saw a lot of complaints about the hardware used on it, but all of the zippers on mine work very smoothly. That’s not to say that they might not go bad in future. Zippers are a weak point in anything that uses them these days, it seems. As for the metal rings that hold the shoulder straps at the bottom, mine feel plenty sturdy. But, I never take chances with that part on any gig bag I buy. To be certain my instrument never falls from my shoulders, I add high quality cable ties at that point, such that were the metal ring ever to break, the cable tie would take its place and prevent the instrument from falling. Repairing such a broken ring can be done in a variety of ways, so I never let their quality inform my buying decision. As for the curve from rolling it up for shipping, while I’d rather it didn’t have it, it really has no effect on the functionality of this bag. Yes, as I look over at it leaning against a chair with my Novaxe® Fan Fret guitar in it, being supported at its middle, the thing looks like the neck of the guitar starts bending over backwards just below the head stock. But, who freakin’ cares! It may well come out over time, or I could steam it out. But, why bother! I could care less if it looks a bit funny. It holds the guitar safely and has more pouches for accessories, strings or sheet music than most costing far more. It even has a long pouch that can accommodate some guitar stands. AND IT ONLY COST ME 20 BUCKS!!! BTW, I’m a semi-retired Blues player with one CD available on Amazon, Steve Hall - “Hallways”, and who has toured the USA and Canada playing for artists like Joe Louis Walker, Larry Garner and Sonny Rhodes. I don’t make recommendations lightly!
