Cheapo gig bag for SF1DC

[KOE]

Looking for recommendations after buying and having to return a Gator Economy GBE-ELECT bag ($30 @ Sweetwater) because it was too small for the guitar. My fault I guess since I didn't consult anyone.

They have a pretty bad policy on shipping charges so if I end up paying the original shipping (which was free) plus more shipping for a replacement I won't do business with them again. Amazon (Prime) will cover their customers.

Anyway - I'd like to figure out the right size - and if anyone has recommendations for decent quality at a low cost (non-gigging just recording/storing in a closet) - for a nice padded bag. The Gator bag seemed strong - but like no padding at all. Maybe that's all $30 gets you.

Probably not cheap enough?

Thanks Ralf - yea I wasn't looking to spend that much - it's mostly a dust cover - some padding would be nice but nothing fancy.

Just an update - I ended up getting the official Guild premium bag - probably worth the difference over a dirt cheap bag - and none of those off brand generic bags could guarantee a fit.

Hope it fits and fulfills your needs! Keep us update once you get it.

Just to update - I received the grey color Guild premium bag and it's exceptionally well made and fits like a glove. Very much worth it.

There were two links - which link did you order?

The grey Guild bag seems to be the same one on both links - with vastly different pics. The photos on the Guild site are too light and poorly defined - the pics on the Sweetwater site are too dark. Here's another view from my iPhone! Quite nice - very luxurious and well padded. I got a nice discount too. ($95 for a demo model at Sweetwater)
