Thomann SafeCase 80 E-Guitar Bag

I have to say I have owned a variety of gigbags and hardcases and this one is just the best yet. Everything says quality - from build materials to design. The interior is soft but firmly holds the instrument. A small detachable bag can hold an effect processor, several pedals or even a mini amp!. The case has an elegant, ziplocked compartment that holds belts that convert it to a backpack in no time. It is as light as it is sturdy. I think you can't go wrong with this one!

- Well-made, really high-quality with no doubts.
- Plenty of space in the main pocket + additional bag
- Good price for the quality
- Cool design
- Looks sturdy and reliable, but...

- Unfortunately, it lacks an internal mesh pocket. It would be a nice feature for storing small items like a whammy bar, picks, or tools, preventing them from moving around inside the main compartment.

- Absolute red flag—it's completely uncomfortable. I don't understand why there’s hard, pointed rubber under the straps and no cushioning, like a sponge, for your back. The bag weighs around 3.5 kg, and once you add a 3-4 kg guitar, a laptop/tablet, and other items, it easily reaches 10 kg, making it a terrible experience to carry. I compared it to a cheaper gig bag, and its straps were soft, adjusting to your body and distributing the weight properly. It's unfortunate, but I had to return it—I just couldn't stand the discomfort.

I bought this case so i wouldn't have to rely on using flightcases all the time. They're simply too heavy to carry around and too large/awkward.

This WAY exceeded my expectations in quality, feel and fit/function. I literally cannot find a fault with it.
Maybe the only 'Negative' would be the hook for the front flap is a little bit fiddly to use in a hurry. But really, it's not a big deal at all. Maybe in future they could use a velcro or popper for that purpose.

The mini thermal lined bag on the front is the greatest idea. If you need to carry any accessories they'll easily fit in there. You can also use it to carry your food/drink if you're planning to travel somewhere with it, which immediately saves you time and money. Especially useful perhaps if you're a guitar teacher and you commute to work, you can bring your coffee and lunch in it and it'll stay fresh. Might seem gimmicky but it genuinely is useful.

Zips and straps all work perfect, the shoulder straps are comfy and they don't feel sweaty when carrying it on your back. The carry handle is comfortable, doesn't dig into your hands at all.

Internal lining is super plush, it looks really luxurious. Similar to my high end G&G hardcase interiors. Very impressive.

The padding is more than enough to protect fully. At the bottom where your end strap button is, there's an additional padding section that it sits on, to protect further.
The neck support is great and you can reposition it OR even remove it if needed. I have a Strat inside and i personally leave the neck support attached, as it was when i got it.

This is just a straight up honest review from a happy, satisfied customer. This product ticks all the boxes for me.
If you're reading this review, i highly recommend you check this gig bag out. It's every bit as good as the higher end cases from brands like M*no and Re*n**n Blues etc.

Thanks for another awesome product Thomann!
