Now, the gigbag is great for those that need SERIOUS protection. It's like a soft case in a form of a gigbag. The leather-like material feels nice and thick, doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart soon, the padding is seriously thick too, and it feels like it could survive a small apocalypse. But all that makes the gigbag heavy and not necessarily pleasant to carry, especially in hot weather. Personally, the brown (or rather bronze) accents didn't really cater to me either.
If you, like me, mostly just carry the guitar on your back and rather occasionally pack it in a luggage compartment, you'll probably be better off with Elite. Especially if you like its color scheme.
