I bought this case because I needed a lightweight, secure case in which to bring my dreadnought to sessions and gigs. For that purpose, this is exactly right: the guitar is well protected, fits snugly in the case, the back-straps are excellent, and the case with guitar inside still feels light as a feather! Importantly, this is not a gig-bag; it's a real guitar case! I would recommend this case and regard it as good value for money. One slight drawback is that after 4 months of use the zip on the bigger of the outside pockets seems faulty and can remain open after zipping. Overall, though, if like me you are tired of lugging instruments around in very heavy cases but you still want your guitar to be well protected inside this foam case is well worth checking out.
