Gig bags and semi-hard cases look similar but protect differently. The right choice depends on how the guitar travels.
Gig bag
- Fabric + foam padding (5-15mm).
- Folds flat, very light, cheapest.
- Protects from dust and light bumps.
Semi-hard
- Rigid shell (EVA/ABS/fiberglass) inside fabric.
- Keeps its shape under pressure.
- Protects from drops better than a bag.
- Still light enough for daily carry.
Quick decision
- Home/studio only: gig bag.
- Local gigs, train, car: semi-hard.
- Airline check-in: hardshell.
