Still making the G&L gig bag?

Post by fraidykat »

Hi,

I have had several G&Ls over the years and love them all.

However, a few people that I've spoken with have suggested
that I use a high-end gig bag instead of a HSC.
All of my G&Ls came with a case and are fine, but heavy.

I read the thread where the G&L gig bag is no longer being
shipped with the Tributes.
However, are they no longer available separately?

If, not what bag would be the best to get for traveling? :?:

What does everyone else use?

Thanks,
Kate

The G&L site still lists the gig bag for sale:

although it says "out of stock".
In my opinion, G&L makes one of the best conventional style gig bags.

I got my G&L bag on eBay brand new for a ridiculous price and for my needs it is adequate--just to throw it into my car and drive a few miles to a jam.

If I were in the market for a serious alternative to a hard case I would definitely buy the Reunion bag--probably better protection than any hard case...plus less weight and smaller.

I just picked up a 2009 Tribute Comanche that came shipped in a G&L Gig Bag.

Up to now, my thinking was: A Gig Bag is okay when I'm on the move, but for storage, I like a HSC.

This is now my 2nd G&L Tribute in as many weeks. I also have a G&L Gig Bag for my ASAT Special, but I keep it stored in a Gator (GC-Elec-A) HSC. Unfortunately, the Comanche won't work in a Gator case.

Are the G&L Gig Bag's safe enough for storage?

Apart from the G&L cases, are there other HSC's that fit the G&L Comanche?

Thanks, guys.
