I bought this bag on 2/6/09; today is 7/17/09. I used it once a week to take my Fender Strat to my guitar lessons. I’m writing that to give you an thought of how long and in what way I’ve been using it.
So, let me tell you first what I liked:
It’s a nice sturdy bag, with plenty of padding for the guitar. Excellent pockets that fit a lot of stuff as well. I liked that the back straps sit comfortably and very much appreciated the different handgrips that are sown in around the bag.
But…
Right off the bat, I saw that when you zip up your guitar, the inner padding juts out a small bit. If you’re not careful with the zipper, you’ll catch the inner lining.
The zipper pulls are cheap and bend easily. And this is just from regular zipping/unzipping!
Finally, the worst offense yesterday. One of the backstraps broke! The fabric backstraps at the end have a metal axle sown in. That axle then attaches to the carabiner (which in turn you snap into the ring sown into the case; The point of attachment between the axle and the carabiner is a small metal nub.
Like most carabiners, it’s engineered so that your backstraps are reversible, so what I’m describing poorly allows you to flip the backstrap (a really useless feature, but whatever).
I’m going into this much detail because of how stupid it is: the small metal nub that holds the carabiner into the axle was made TOO SMALL. So yesterday it just snapped out of the axle, rendering that strap useless. The only way to really fix this is to replace the whole mechanism, which means re-sowing the sucker.
This should not happen with a $60 bag with the very light amount of use it had.
