Gigbag recommendation for electric guitar.

[maniac886]

All,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a suitable Gig bag for my Gibson SG Standard?

I currently have a hard case which I have been using to transport to my lessons when I take my car but would like an alternative case if I decide to walk to my lesson as the hard case is too heavy.

Can anyone recommend a ruck sack type gig bag that will be suitable for the tilted headstock on the SG?

My budget is around £80 or so.

Cheers!

I`ve just bought a bass that came with a Warwick Rockbag and this seems very good. Lots of padding, and what I would describe as a pillow held on with velcro for the head stock.

Mono gigbags are about the best, but I've personally been using Peavey gigbags for years, as they're the slimmest so slip in to the car around the gear or whatever easier.
the Warwick rockbags are OK, as are Ritter for more mid priced gigbags..

Cheers guys.

I decided to go for the Ritter deluxe from Andertons:

This bag has a decent amount of support around the headstock which is crucial for the SG.

The Mono bag looks immense! I am looking at getting a Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium in the future and will definitely consider getting the Mono bag alongside a hard case.

Check the zips on the Ritter, I've got one and it's the only thing that lets it down. Two have jammed and failed so far. Other than that, it's not bad.

I got one of these for my daughter to transport her strat backwards and forwards to school etc, seems pretty well made and pretty well padded - http://www.tomandwill.com/productdetail.asp?produc...

Thanks for the tip, I will keep an eye on the zips!
