No, all guitar bags are not the same size. Different guitars have different sized bags. For example, a classical guitar would need a different sized bag than an electric guitar.
When the humidity is too low, the wood in a guitar can shrink and crack. The ideal humidity for a guitar is between 40 and 50%.
A guitar case is designed to protect your guitar from bumps and scrapes, but it can also damage your guitar if it’s not the right size or type. A hard case that’s too small can put pressure on the guitar, causing the neck to warp or the body to crack. A soft case that’s too big can allow the guitar to move around and get damaged. So, make sure you get a case that’s the right size and type for your guitar.
No, guitar cases do not fit all guitars. Each guitar has its own specific case that is designed to fit that guitar model snugly. Trying to force a guitar into the wrong case can damage the instrument and the case.

Here are my thoughts after a few weeks. My Fender acoustic guitar fits the case perfectly. The rubber shock absorber also aids in maintaining the position of my instrument when it is periodically leaning up against a wall. The front pockets are large enough to handle my music stand comfortably. I'm utilizing music sheets that I printed off the internet in place of a music book. My folder fits snugly inside the front pocket. It will no doubt accommodate a music book as well. My tablet will fit inside as well.The case has superb stitching. Nothing like that—no loose threads. The zippers are simple to open and close. How well the gig bag would repel water was one of my worries. Rain is inevitable, and I don't want to harm my guitar by letting it get wet!I thus put some paper towels in the front pocket to test it. I then lugged it into the sink in the bathroom and turned on the water. It easily repelled the water. When they entered, the paper towels were just as dry. With that, I'm pretty content.The guitar picks that Cahaya included are a lovely touch. I've already lost a few.There are two issues that could be problematic. It is rolled up in plastic and shipped in a box, which causes it to arrive crumpled. I didn't mind because I was essentially carrying it to class. Another concern is that, like another reviewer noted, it smells like plastic. I anticipated it since this is not a leather purse. Airing it over the bathroom air vent significantly reduced the stink. Now I don't even notice it. The fact that some of the creases disappeared is a bonus. Since I used it on my guitar, more of the wrinkles have come out.The straps are nice, too. They were reasonably nicely padded and length-adjustable. When I carry the guitar, it is comfy. Even when I have my Kindle and keys in the outside pocket, this is still true.Although it's a cheap bag, this beginner is happy with the purchase.

To provide my pair of Yamaha red label FGs with some protection, I bought this CAHAYA gig bag. I purchased the FG180 six-string in 1967, during my second year of college. It arrived with a cardboard case with a soft interior that, over time, lost its handle and became more and more ripped and distorted. I bought a twelve-string FG230, the 180's perfect match, from an internet auction site fifteen years ago. It came with a hardshell case that was at least as heavy as the guitar.I chose this gig bag above its rivals because it is advertised as "40-41-42 inch," as opposed to the majority of them being marketed as 41 inch. The 230 fits in this case with room to spare despite being around 3–4 inches longer than the majority of six-string guitars.There is enough padding to guard against any (extra) dents and scratches. If you drop the guitar, don't expect it to be much of a help.A typical 9X12 music book, like my spiral-bound Mel Bay Chord Encyclopedia, can fit in the front pocket.CONS: I wish the nylon/plastic buckles on the shoulder straps were more user-friendly. Additionally, a "front" handle over the pocket, similar to some of the rivals' goods, would be useful.I might just get another of these and use the hardshell as an ice chest.

42.5 x 18.5 x 4.9 inches, compatible with 39/40/41 inch guitars. Upper bout: 13in. Lower bout: 18.5in. Neck: 6.3in.
This CAHAYA guitar bag is a sleek and subtle gig bag, ideal for the gigging musician who travels with their guitar on a regular basis.

Although I previously owned Cahaya's basic gig bag, which served as an excellent dust cover, this one truly tops them all. It features plenty of padding all throughout and will safeguard your guitar while you're on the move. Although you won't be able to stand on it, it will reasonably protect you.The ability to adjust the neck rest block so that it fits your guitar's neck perfectly is my favorite feature of this bag. Due to this, guitars of the 1/2 and 3/4 sizes can still fit inside of this. For holding items like a music stand and sheet music, there are many pockets.The neck block did not really come into touch with my specific Taylor 210E acoustic guitar, but it did with my other two electric guitars, which is the only drawback I can think of. It is not a major deal because most gig bags don't have that feature.This is good for the money if you need a padded gig bag and have roughly $40.

I just got this gig bag. Initial reactions are overwhelmingly positive. This bag appears to be well crafted, especially given the price. Light padding is present on the front, back, and sides, and the stitching appears to be of good quality overall. It should work well as a light-duty gig bag for storing a guitar at home and making sporadic outings. If you're constantly performing, I'd look elsewhere. Think about the cost once more.The measurements shown on the page are correct. My Fender CC-60S fits wonderfully in this bag. A big concert-sized guitar is the CC-60S. (and a FANTASTIC value BTW). Most concert, auditorium, and folk guitars should fit in it. I tested this backpack with a full-sized dreadnought guitar that I also own. It did fit, but just just. The zipper was struggling to close because it was so tightly wound. Consider your options before purchasing this bag if you plan to use it with a dreadnought.

It's important to safeguard your equipment, especially when traveling. I can guarantee that the ChromaCast 6-Pocket Case will live up to your expectations if you're not seeking for a big, bulky hard case to carry around.Strangely, the item arrived in a packaging that gave me the idea that it would not provide very much padding at all. I was mistaken. After opening, I could see there was enough padding in the front and back to provide adequate protection for my guitar for short-distance transportation. The features that this case offered astounded me. Outside pockets are everywhere! In the roomy front pocket, you may keep a small notebook computer, an iPad, or something comparable. There are numerous other pockets to store supplies, picks, cords, tuners, straps, etc. For me, this was done solely to protect my instrument in preparation for a relocation. I simply wanted to make sure it wouldn't be rubbing up against anything unnecessarily, even though I'll probably take it in the back of my SUV.There is heavy foam padding and a fabric cover inside. Stitching and zips last a long time. The outer shell is quite strong and appears to be able to withstand harsh situations. If the guitar is placed down a little too abruptly, a nice rubberized bottom piece will cushion it. I particularly enjoy how the neck's fastening Velcro strap keeps the headstock well protected from dents and other harm by preventing needless sway and movement.For the money, hard to beat. You could certainly pay a lot more money on a "brand" case, but why? This one seems like a no-brainer to me. Purchase it, and you'll be happy you did.

I've been performing on the road for more than 20 years, and I got this for my 3/4 traveler acoustic guitar, which is a beater. I reasoned that even if I wasn't planning to spend $80 on a gig bag for the guitar because I didn't really care about it, I still needed a container to carry it in when I boarded the subway. Sincerely, I wasn't expecting much from such an inexpensive gig bag, but when I opened the box, I was pleasantly delighted. In my 20 years of touring, I've seen many higher end gig bags for a lot more money that are of equal quality. I believe I paid $23 for it. Guys, don't get me wrong; you get what you pay for, but once more, the quality astonished me given the cost. This is perfect for my tiny beat-up acoustic, but let's face it, if your instrument is worth more than a few hundred dollars, you should put it in a hardshell case rather than a gig bag. Though I don't plan to put my Les Paul in it any time soon, I believe this will offer just as much protection as a gig bag would. Hardshell cases are always used on tours, but this is ideal for cheaper items!

Even though it was one of the more affordable guitar bags, it is of excellent quality, has well-functioning zippers, roomy pockets (though you shouldn't stuff them too full or they'll burst), and is keeping my acoustic guitar safe and clean. Your sheet music and tuner can fit in the bigger pocket, while your phone and picks can fit in the smaller one on top. Although it is not a hard case, it is protecting my instrument as intended. You can spend more money on a better one if you so desire, but keep in mind that if you merely need something to keep dust off and to guard it against bumps and nicks, this is absolutely enough. To make transporting it easier, it incorporates shoulder straps similar to a backpack. I am quite happy, and I know you will be too. Although it isn't canvas, it feels a lot like it.It does not stand up on its own, despite the fact that it has rubber at the bottom to prevent materials from rubbing against one another and creating holes. If you want to criticize it or need to know something in particular, I will say this. Either add feet or simply lean it against something else to raise it. The fact that the zipper does not open the case so that it lies flat may be another issue for more serious musicians shopping for a deal. Meaning, unlike a hard case, it will not open all the way so you can put the flap on the ground and place the guitar inside; instead, you will need to hold the flap open while inserting the guitar. I suppose that this tightens up everything, which it does. The only two things I can think of are those two, but even so, if you're looking for a neat, tidy, well-made case for your instrument, this is a wonderful option. Hope my analysis is useful!

AWESOME! I had planned to purchase an alternative brand that would work with the Yamaha acoustic guitar I already own. This one was 20.00 less expensive, therefore I chose to get it. My hubby expressed worry. He appeared thoughtful each day and questioned, "Has it arrived yet? Is it certain that it will fit your guitar?" I have to be honest and say that I wasn't even remotely sure. I trusted the seller because it said as much. They were accurate!It's large, without a doubt. But it is sturdy. It features a cloth inside, and underneath the neck, there is a compartment that opens to reveal a padded storage box. There, I keep my guitar accessories such as a capo, tuner, picks, additional strings, and picks. Since there isn't place for a book or anything else, I don't keep anything in there, but the fact that I can store extra picks, strings, and tools is a HUGE deal. Additionally, it FIT! WITH SPACE TO EXTRA. As I wasn't really sure, I must admit that I let out an audible sigh of relief.I have some sort of Yamaha, and it works just great. Really perfect I am happy about it because I received a better bargain and saved some money.Please refrain from commenting that I didn't since that would make me very upset. A lady adores a good deal! ***
A guitar case is designed to protect your instrument from the elements, including humidity. While it won’t keep your guitar completely safe from all the moisture in the air, it will help to reduce the amount of moisture that gets to your guitar. This, in turn, will help to keep your guitar in good condition and reduce the risk of damage from humidity.
There is no definitive answer when it comes to choosing the right sized guitar case as it depends on the guitar model and make. However, a good rule of thumb is to get a case that is slightly bigger than the guitar itself so that there is room for movement and the guitar is not tightly squeezed in. Additionally, make sure to check the case dimensions before making a purchase to ensure that it will fit in your car or home.
When purchasing a guitar case, you should consider both the quality and price. A higher quality case will better protect your guitar and last longer, but will also be more expensive. A lower quality case may not offer as much protection or last as long, but will be less expensive. Ultimately, the amount you spend on a guitar case should be based on your budget and the level of protection you desire.
55% humidity is too high for guitars. The ideal humidity for guitars is between 40-50%. Higher humidity levels can cause the wood to swell and potentially warp the guitar.
There are pros and cons to both gig bags and cases. Cases offer more protection for your instrument, but they're also more expensive and can be more difficult to carry. Gig bags offer less protection but are usually more affordable and can be more convenient to transport. Ultimately, the best option for you depends on your needs and preferences.
