Double Neck Guitar Case For Sale (2024 Update)

I give this bag only 3 stars because unless Gator upgraded the bag or is making it in the U.S., I don't see the reason for the price increase. I bought one of these for a Sterling by Music Man bass as I was under the impression Gator bags were made in the U.S. when, come to find out, they're made in China (as are Fender gig bags). As the photos indicate, this bag will work for a Fender P Bass, but the Fender FB620 is a better bag for that and other Fender bass guitars while presently costing 10 less than the Gator while offering better protection and features. The Gator GB-4G seems to be more of a universal fit bag accommodating a wider range of sizes. The thing it seemed to have going for it the most was its zipper which seemed heavy duty. I say "seemed" because I returned the bass and so the bag as well.Vice

I bought a used guitar for back porch jamming. Needed a gig bag that didn't cost more than the guitar ,but would keep it safe and clean. Stopped at Sam ash because I was certain they had a variety of gig bags. Not my first visit or purchase.The Gator gig bag I chose is the economy for dreadnought guitars by Gator. Great price for my budget and well made. This bag is perfect for my needs. Easy carry and my guitar is covered.Just enough padding in all the right places for my guitar. Also accessory zipper compartment.Lindy

I'm giving this bag only 3 stars on account of the price increase; for it used to cost about 4-5 less than the Fender FE620 but now costs about 10 more than? Unless it has improved features or is being made in the U.S., I don't see the reason for the price increase as the FE620 gig bag provides better protection and features (for Strat size guitars anyway). I purchased one in May 2021 and only because as I was of the impression Gator bags were made in the U.S. when, come to find out, they're made in China (as are Fender gig bags). I should have sized things up beforehand since the Sterling by Music Man Cutlass I bought the bag for is essentially a slightly shorter, slightly sleeker version of a Strat (for which the FE620 was made). The best thing the Gator bag seemed to have going for it was the zipper which seemed rather heavy duty while mesh pockets on the front of a gig bag aren't particularly practical while being subject to tearing/ripping. As you can see by the photos, there's too much room in the bag for a Strat size guitar (though one might be able to insert the headstock into the bag's internal top pocket to prevent the guitar from sliding around too much in the bag). The Gator GB-4G ELEC Series Gig Bag is more of a universal fit bag better suited for guitars longer and/or wider than a Strat.Vice

It's a great gig bag to have for you to carry a extra guitar just in case and have enough room for cables and a pedal or two and it's double padded on both side for both guitars.qslimtim

This is a gig worthy bag. It hold two electrics, Two of a Tele, Les, Strat. Even a 7 string Ibanez RG5127 and an 8 string Ibanez RG852.starofradiance

Overall: I bought this for my Pro Series Soloist SL2Q MAH. It fits perfectly, snug so no worries of it bouncing around in there. It doesn't have a cover to the accessory pockets, however like I said the case is snug so when closed nothing falls out not even my loose picks. The latches on this case are probably my favorite feature as well as the TSA locks. Found out yesterday when I checked it for my flight was that TSA has a master key to this type of case, so you don't have to dig your keys out to open it for them, however on the flip side, not sure if I like that they have a key to open the case. However it arrived in great shape, nothing missing, they locked it back up which i was happy with. Seems to be very well built and didn't have any damage or scratches when I got it after my flight.Ryan

le I don't have a lot of experience with other brands' cases, this Jackson case is perfect for what I was looking for – something that will protect my guitar from its environment. I bought my first Jackson from Musicians Friend almost exactly 20 years ago, so my needs have changed a bit from when I was in high school and lugging my guitar around in the back of cars. It's now more about keeping the guitar safe when stowed away: protected from my wife just tossing it wherever she thinks it should be stored, protected from it then falling because it was hastily placed against something, protected from stuff falling on it because of other items placed hastily above or near it, and protected from my 2 and 5 year old who are all too interested in playing with the noise maker inside (which of course I'm more than happy to let them experiment when I'm supervising, but that's not as fun as sneaking it out when dad isn't home). This case protects from all of that, while also being more compact than the Jackson hard shell cases from the 90's. That's not even taking into account the much improved hardware, handle, and TSA lock (many of the older cases have locks, hinges, etc busted off). This case is also tighter on the tremolo, and it has two storage compartments as opposed to one.. Functional attributes aside, it's more aesthetic, IMO. Take a look at the attached pictures to see if it may be worth an upgrade! While I bought this new one for my Soloist, I might just get one for the Rhoads.WhereismyAquaNet

What makes this case a bad design are the slot sections inside. The foam buckles, folds and breaks pretty quickly. This causes a situation where when you are removing or loading your guitar, facing left, in the left slot it rubs up against the strings and saddles of the guitar in the left slot section. I bought a 2010 Les Paul Goldtop and it was in mint condition. It is not anymore. All the damage has been caused by the case and not rocking out. There are a number of scratches, dings and chips at the bottom of the guitar and in the back that were caused from the guitar slipping off of the foam that separates the two guitars while trying to slip the guitar in and out into place. The thin foam padding that they have at the bottom of the lip has fallen off and that has caused some dings and scratches on my guitars when taking them out and loading them in. I do like the case for the ease of mobilizing the guitars but the design of the slots and UX of the case has fallen short. I was hoping that in our times that these things would have been addressed during the research phase of design but based on what I’ve experience with this product I doubt that much research and testing was invested in the actual load and unloading of guitars of even the UX of the product. On their website they use language like “ Whether you call them your "Babies" or your "Axes", we know how important your guitars are to you…”. I first thought about baby strollers and how padded and safe they are. I thought about how the designers of strollers think about how to remove danger or harm to the infant in the stroller.Elijah Zane Echeveste

This case is okay not great. I don't fly I just bought it to throw in my car and go to gigs. The quality of the build is well below SKB into the Gator end of the spectrum, okay not great. It will not fit a Jazz style bass which I thought was unusual given the popularity of that style instrument. I bought mine on sale and was disappointed. If I had paid full price I would have been angry.
Again okay not great.William Grubb

Have used this for 4 long tours with a band now and decided to get my own. Lightweight for fly gigs and sturdy as the walls of the Tower of London. I trust this with my most expensive gear.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

This case does not fit a Gibson Flying V in a safe way. I have a 2019 Gibson Flying V and the guitar fits in the case with about 3 inches of room on either the top or bottom of the case because it will slide front to back. I have closed the case and gently shifted it to see if the guitar shifts while the case is sealed and it will. This case would not protect the guitar in any form of travel.Tony

I bought this product because I read it would be the best case for my Jackson RRXMG (24 fret). The case is very nice and super sturdy. I really like the way the latches are designed because I feel they're a bit harder to open than traditional locking fasteners. All that being said the guitar fits, but the headstock does hover a bit and the neck gets pushed when you close the case completely. Also the interior compartment is a bit small so don't expect put any type of musical book in there. Overall I'm pleased because my guitar is still protected.Epic Axe Man

Fantastic case!! Very sturdy and beautifully constructed, well made. Holds my Fender Strat very well along with enough room for my mic, cords, picks, looper and other misc. items. Perfect size to carry. Very nice looking case. Very satisfied with this purchase. Highly recommend.Sammy

Thought I would take a chance on the listing that stated the SKB guitar case was used. It showed up very well packaged and in mint condition. Opening up the case the oxygen absorber packets were still inside along with the keys. I would not think twice about buying another used item from Pro star audio especially with the almost 30% discount price. Excellent condition, fast shipping, well packagedCuteWolf-84894

The case is fairly lightweight, but sturdy. It fits a Stratocaster very well. Teles have a bit more room to move around. But once you secure the top it is probably a snug fit. Provides two storage areas that are very handy. I also like how the outside corners are rounded.oldchicagoblues78

Good case for a telecaster or Stratocaster. Note.. Tele style fits a little loose. If youre going to be travelling with this, probably not the right case for flight. Fine for vehicle travel.conanford

Case looks great, feels great too, nice tweed cover with the odd glue drip here and there, but nothing that can't be femoved with a strong fingernail and a good aim. Overall it's great value for the money, and is tough enough for local gigs in your own vehicle. There's no weather strip inside or out so avoid drink spills or heavy rain. My only real issue with this case is that there isn't much padding inside the case itself, and it feels a bit cheap inside as the only padding is along the neckline. The inner compartment feels a bit chintzy too, but it's just a compartment. Don't get me wrong it's worth every penny, but the overall quality is not as good as any of my other 40 Hardshell cases. It will do the job it's intended for, and that's the most important thing here. I got the st version which is the biggest, and it fits my danelectro double neck guitar with 3/4" to spare on each side, and plenty of room at the top. Of course for storage it's perfect !!!.nicwhite7777

A brilliantly well made high quality guitar case that I specifically purchased for travelling. I often use the electric part of the case for carrying clothes whilst I travelling. Back straps are adequate, strong and comfortable to walk long distance between venues. All together I'm well pleasedTrevor B.

The zippers on these bags are junk. they need to use heavier top notch zippers. the zipper on the smaller compartment areas is too small for real usage. Not sure why they just dont use the larger zipper on EVERYTHING. The a 3 point velcro rings for the tick bag should be 4 point (it sags on the single point if the tick bag is packed). where they strap at the top with 2 points is good, but its a bit wonky on the single strap in the middle because what happens is if you are carrying the guitar by the handle the tick bag sags down at that point a little bit. The guitar bags are kinda spendy but if you've invested into it, then the company should go the extra mile.I just wonder how much these guys have really travelled gig after gig with these bags. They are better than most out there though but also a lot more money too. I just think they need to use better zippers and add better/stiffer sidewalls for the guitar cases. My rig is heavy and wonder how long the guitar bag shoulder straps will last too. They seem sturdy, and so far so good. I play a Les Paul and the case could have stiffer sides for a heavier guitar. If you play a Strat or Tele then you're probably OK. Also, the smaller compartments are pretty much usesless too. they try to compartmenalize everything and all they need to do is keep it simple becuase NOTHING fits into the tight little spaces inside the pockets, unless you carry a lot of pens? I like spaces large enough for a couple extra pre-amp tubes, and slides but most of the inside pocket spaces are way too small for anything except, sharpies, or cable tips? . Someone who designed it must have carried a lot of pens/sharpies around because nothing else fits into them. I'd rather see a single zipper or velco space where you can just stuff everything itno it. Overall its a decent bag and better than most gig bags but these arent inexpensive either. The larger compartment could open a bit wider too. Its pretty small compared to the picture.effective.edge

Hands down this has been the best gig bag i have ever purchased and likely the last until it has to be replaced. I had previous cheaper versions and they were just that, cheap. This MONO bag has been a huge upgrade and im so happy i made the decision to get it. The linning inside makes sure the finish is well protected and the neck strap and support block are such a great insurance knowing guitar is not going to swing around in the space. The storage is great holding all my cable (both 1/4 inch and Kemper pedal cable) In ears, picks,spare strings and even having both guitars loaded (An ESP telecaster and PRS 7 string) its not a bad weight evenly distributed when strapped on your back. Outer shell is extremely well made and looks like its going to stand up to the road well. Bottom has rubber treads to set it on the ground without worry. If your looking at it but are scared of the price dont be, after your first set you will be glad you got itDaniel

This Musicians Choice product is inexpensive – and no worse than the significantly-more-costly, official, Gibson-branded SG case. That's not saying much, though. The neck rest is about 1/3 of an inch too high. That means that, since the body portion of the case lid has a pad that presses down on your SG's body, closing the case puts serious pressure on the headstock of your guitar. Essentially, unmodified, this case is perfectly designed to break your SG at the headstock, if it's subjected to any, even fairly minor, banging around – such as by airport baggage handlers. If you have modest shop skills – and somewhat more advanced upholstery chops – you can carefully remove the velveteen cloth from the neck rest block, remove the block and sand its bottom down about 1/3 inch, then reinstall (re-glue) the block to the bottom of the case, and then trim and re-glue the velveteen to cover it. Voila! Your SG case now actually PROTECTS your guitar, instead of endangering it. Again, it bears repeating that the Gibson-branded case has EXACTLY the same design defect. The Musicians Choice version is just a slavish copy. If you want actual protection without having to modify the case, buy an ABS-molded, third-party, high-end case and leave both this one and its Gibson equivalent on the shelf.thomst

Excellent case for the price! I keep all my guitars in cases on a guitar rack in my studio. I needed a case for my SG without spending $100 or more on a case. I no longer do any gigs, so this case fit the bill for my needs. As in other reviews, my SG fit like a glove. Are there higher quality, more expensive cases out there? Yes. But for home protection against dust, or accidental fall mishaps, or short trips to a jam session, it's perfect! If your needs are somewhat similar to mine, I'd say, Don't hesitate! I don't think you'll have any regrets! Hope this helps. Cheers!penlan-6941-us

The case described is a 3" thick flat top case for a solid body, and the case GC sent (3 times…!) was a 5" thick case with a top bubble for an archtop. Even the tag on the case says it's for an archtop… It's a great budget case that fits a Telecaster loosely, and it will protect the guitar in my trunk exponentially better than any gig bag and will serve its purpose, so it's a keeper. The case sent is really the other more expensive Musician's Gear Archtop Deluxe Case at the solid body case price, and there's not a lot of other options in this price range.Smitty

The SKB-FS6 molded case is a great investment. My favorite Stratocaster fits inside the case perfectly. It is a very snug fit. The case is very well made. It should last many years.Kenneth

After several decades of carrying around my Telecaster in the big black plywood case it came in, the shaped case is a real pleasure to use. It made its first trip last week when I caught the bus downtown to a weekly blues jam. I thought, wow! Why didn't I get a case like this years ago? The shaped case protects the guitar as well as or better than the old plywood case, but is lighter and smaller, not much bigger than a gig bag. Also, I don't worry about sitting it down. I mean it's not going to fall over like those old cases were eager to do. I guess for stacking in a trailer or the back of a van the original rectangular case might have an advantage, but otherwise the close fit and ample padding of the shaped case seem protective. In addition, the shaped case has a cradle for the neck to rest in and a cut out cavity which holds the guitar secure. The old case contained the guitar, but did not restrain it, so you could hear and feel it flopping around a bit. My Strat has a similar rectangular wooden case, although without the strange orange lining of the Tele's old case, and the Strat flops around even more than the Telecaster. It is true that the shaped case doesn't have room for a lot of extra stuff, but pedals and assorted hardware in the case are really only good for making it incredibly heavy and rattling around looking for something to ding or scratch. I'll admit, however, back in the seventies having a fuzz face, a wah-wah pedal and other assorted stuff in the case. Man, was it heavy! Now, I just use an old computer bag for odd bits of hardware and my mini-pedal board. My only reservation at this point are the big plastic latches. They seem as if they could be a bit fragile, but since the case doesn't go anywhere that I don't go, I think they will be fine. Would I recommend this case? Absolutely, it even looks cool, so what's not to like?Jim

I'm a 61 year young guitar player who started playing when I was 12, and have seen, owned and used a wide selection of guitar cases. These are the best I have owned. I now have two of these excellent cases. I bought the first for my old Corona built '66 Stratocaster, liked it so well that I bought another for my MIM Telecaster. I'm going to buy two more of these cases for my other Fender guitars. The cases are extremely durable, and I am confident that my guitar is going to be ready to play where ever I'm going, even if I'm just going to a barbecue at my next door neighbors house. I have learned the hard way that my guitars stand as much a chance of getting damaged in my house as they do on an airplane flight. When my guitars are not in my hands, they are safely resting in their cases. Since I mentioned air flight, the simple ability for the TSA people can open my locked guitar case without causing damage, or causing me more hassle at the terminal, is a real selling point. I have flown several times with these cases, and thanks to the supreme durability of the case, and the TSA friendly lock, I don't have to fear my guitar being damaged or destroyed when they go on as checked luggage. These cases are small, with limited space to carry accessories, and that is good as they take up less room in the trunk of a small car. I follow Bob Taylor's advice on traveling with instruments; I put nothing in the case with my guitar but a small polishing cloth. I put the strap, tuner, strings, snuff can full of picks and anything else I want along in my carry on bag or other checked luggage.Beauregard Hooligan

I categorize gig bags into basically 3 categories ranging from completely soft, to soft with a semi-rigid perimeter, to a hybrid that is fully solid on the edges. The Fusion falls into the middle category. I tend to avoid the soft category as I fear headstock damage though I own several gig bags in each category. This bag may have risen to the top of my list. The other bag I have in this category would be the Mono Vertigo. While I understand what people like about it, I have issues with it. The straps aren't concealable. While the material is nice, the zippers are not waterproof and do let water in. Storage is minimal. The lining WILL wear quickly due to the way the guitar is inserted/removed. There's no adjustment to account for short scale instruments or offset bodies. As for the rigid hybrid cases, I own several of the Access Stage 5 and Protec Contego bags. The Access Stage 5 is the plushest but is heavy and expensive and not comfortable. The Contego is a little lighter while offering about the same level of protection and is more comfortable. This was the bag that I'd say the Fusion has just toppled for me in that it's even lighter and more comfortable for normal carrying. If I were forced to check a bag in, I'd opt for the Contego but since I don't take instruments on planes, that's not an issue.Steven G.

I was looking for a bass gig bag with +20mm padding, a toughened bottom end and pockets big enough for 2 Boss pedals. The Urban came up on Google. It ticked all of the above, and had chest and waist straps; I ordered one – the wrong one. A call to the office was all that was needed to get the order changed from a black to a blue bag. The bag came boxed the next day. Its padding is hefty enough to make for a stiff bag. The straps have clips to keep the ends tidy. A length of adjustable padding lets me make a nest for the stomps, wireless kit, a short lead and a few other small bits, inside the bag with my Ibanez SR300EB bass. The bass goes inside the padding; the other stuff, between padding and case. There are pockets inside the pockets. One of them had a Fusion key ring and lanyard inside. I wanted pockets and got them. I can fit my Blackstar Fly 3 Bass stereo pack in the biggest pocket. My Hercules EZ-Pack guitar stand fits into the head pocket with room to spare. The chest and waist straps help spread the load. I have, in the first day of getting it, gone on 4 buses and a train, cycled 7 miles, and walked more than 2, all with the bag loaded for my afternoon at the music studio. I stood the Urban in a corner, and it stayed stood. Try that with most bags. It's heavier than my other bass bag, but weight means quality, and you're not going to get this much shielding without weight. The width covers much of my back, blocking out my hi-vis coat. I would welcome more hi-vis on the main and Fuse-on bags or at least some hi-vis rain covers. I can at least put a hi-vis rucksack cover on a Fuse-on, as and when I get one. A staffman my music shop said I'd chosen well, he saw it, and they don't deal with Fusion. The bags are dear but well-made and will look after you.Mick

I researched carefully before buying this bag and this sure was time well spent. I travel in London on public transport every week with my guitar and need a tough bag with good straps and pockets. This bag is fantastic! It is so much better than my old one being stronger with great protection and a snugger fit for my guitar, and excellent good sized pockets. This bag has much more comfortable straps and amazingly it is more compact overall than my old one which used to catch on the doorways and overhead handrails on the train and tube. I also like that it is more rigid than my old bag and as a result it is easier to remove or replace the guitar without the bag collapsing all over the place. The neck protection in this bag is also far superior. Overall it cost half as much again than my old bag but I am twice as happy so worth every penny!Rob

I categorize gig bags into basically 3 categories ranging from completely soft, to soft with a semi-rigid perimeter, to a hybrid that is fully solid on the edges. The Fusion falls into the middle category. I tend to avoid the soft category as I fear headstock damage though I own several gig bags in each category. This bag may have risen to the top of my list. The other bag I have in this category would be the Mono Vertigo. While I understand what people like about it, I have issues with it. The straps aren't concealable. While the material is nice, the zippers are not waterproof and do let water in. Storage is minimal. The lining WILL wear quickly due to the way the guitar is inserted/removed. There's no adjustment to account for short scale instruments or offset bodies. As for the rigid hybrid cases, I own several of the Access Stage 5 and Protec Contego bags. The Access Stage 5 is the plushest but is heavy and expensive and not comfortable. The Contego is a little lighter while offering about the same level of protection and is more comfortable. This was the bag that I'd say the Fusion has just toppled for me in that it's even lighter and more comfortable for normal carrying. If I were forced to check a bag in, I'd opt for the Contego but since I don't take instruments on planes, that's not an issue.Steven G.

I was looking for a bass gig bag with +20mm padding, a toughened bottom end and pockets big enough for 2 Boss pedals. The Urban came up on Google. It ticked all of the above, and had chest and waist straps; I ordered one – the wrong one. A call to the office was all that was needed to get the order changed from a black to a blue bag. The bag came boxed the next day. Its padding is hefty enough to make for a stiff bag. The straps have clips to keep the ends tidy. A length of adjustable padding lets me make a nest for the stomps, wireless kit, a short lead and a few other small bits, inside the bag with my Ibanez SR300EB bass. The bass goes inside the padding; the other stuff, between padding and case. There are pockets inside the pockets. One of them had a Fusion key ring and lanyard inside. I wanted pockets and got them. I can fit my Blackstar Fly 3 Bass stereo pack in the biggest pocket. My Hercules EZ-Pack guitar stand fits into the head pocket with room to spare. The chest and waist straps help spread the load. I have, in the first day of getting it, gone on 4 buses and a train, cycled 7 miles, and walked more than 2, all with the bag loaded for my afternoon at the music studio. I stood the Urban in a corner, and it stayed stood. Try that with most bags. It's heavier than my other bass bag, but weight means quality, and you're not going to get this much shielding without weight. The width covers much of my back, blocking out my hi-vis coat. I would welcome more hi-vis on the main and Fuse-on bags or at least some hi-vis rain covers. I can at least put a hi-vis rucksack cover on a Fuse-on, as and when I get one. A staffman my music shop said I'd chosen well, he saw it, and they don't deal with Fusion. The bags are dear but well-made and will look after you.Mick

I researched carefully before buying this bag and this sure was time well spent. I travel in London on public transport every week with my guitar and need a tough bag with good straps and pockets. This bag is fantastic! It is so much better than my old one being stronger with great protection and a snugger fit for my guitar, and excellent good sized pockets. This bag has much more comfortable straps and amazingly it is more compact overall than my old one which used to catch on the doorways and overhead handrails on the train and tube. I also like that it is more rigid than my old bag and as a result it is easier to remove or replace the guitar without the bag collapsing all over the place. The neck protection in this bag is also far superior. Overall it cost half as much again than my old bag but I am twice as happy so worth every penny!Rob

I was going to get the SKB-6 but did not like that it does not have body contours to hold the guitar body snug. This SKB-66 has nice contours that do hold the guitar body snug. The neck support section was a little tight at first. But then I realized the softest part of this case is down the middle of the top lid where the lid touches the neck and strings. That section appears the same as the rest but indeed has a semi firm/soft foam so it does not squash the neck and strings but holds the Pacifica snug with no wobble room at all. Even with the case latch closed I can push in and flex the case in that area. No pressure on the 5 way switch or knobs. I was a little skeptical of the fit prior to purchase because the Pacifica has a slightlt different body shape from a Fender Strat. But, it fits just right. Latches seem sturdy. This is my second SKB ABS case. The first one is still holding strong after 18+ years with a Tele style guitar in it.Sasquach

I have another SKB rectangular Case that has the Fender logo embossed with the TSA locks. That case fits my Strat and Tele much better. This case is a bit lighter but still nice quality, however, the neck support is so high in the case that when you place your guitar in the case, the whole guitar sits at an angle. The headstock lifts up out of the case as the body drops in. When you close the lid, the pressure forces the headstock down and the body up putting undue stress on the neck of the guitar. When I think "universal" case, I would expect it to fit a traditional Strat and Tele, but it does not.Don

I bought this for a Charvel Predator, and was worried what I was going to be receiving for the price, since I have received some pretty crappy ones only a little cheaper than this one. When I got it and opened it up, I couldn't have asked for anything more. This is the highest quality case I have ever bought. There is tons of storage inside. I originally bought it to ship a guitar safely out to Mike Learn for a paint job, but this case will be one I will keep forever. BUY THIS NOW!!! I may be buying one or two more for other guitars I have.simplydirectproducts

Nice well built case. Has latches on the front side which is a nice feature because there are no latches on the back which many users forget about unlatching until its too late and they get broken. The only con I could see is they could have put more padding in the interior although there is sufficient padding. My dreadnought fits a little loose but not a deal breaker.mig46

Purchased this case in "Brown" and it's beautiful. Very well made and a little lighter than the epiphone brand Case. The gold hinges and latches are stronger than I had anticipated, Should last for years. The interior is solid and covering is just as well made as it's competitors brand, epiphone. It does not carry it't name sprawled in gold ink across the top of the case, yet does have a small metal name plate attached to the side by the handle. You should be well please with this purchase knowing your guitar is well protected. My epiphone Casino fits perfect.kerrymcginnis

I truly was surprised that the quality of the case was so perfect! For the price I wish I would have purchased it years ago.bevsfuntimes
