Do you and your guitar a favor and by a hardshell case. They is no excuse for letting a beauty get bumped and banged just because you wanted to go with a $10 gig back instead of a $70 case. I know this because I used to have a gig back, and my guitar would bump all over the place. Finally I invested in a hardshell, and let me tell you, if I didn't have it know my guitar would probably be a pile of parts!
