I am a serious enthusiast of acoustic guitars both playing and collecting. I take lessons weekly and love taking my best "girls" into the store to show off, play, and learn (coincidentally, I purchased more than a few guitars here). All my guitars have hard cases for storage and for travel. I get a little lazy sometimes and like using a gig bag, a nice, structured bag with lots of padding. I had one that came with one of my less expensive parlor guitars and have been searching for another for my full-size guitars.I settled on two models: The hard-to-find Taylor gig-bag and the Levy's Deluxe for Dreadnought Guitars. Using my wife's GS mini gig-bag as reference (as well as pictures from Amazon) and found the Levy's to be comparable to the Taylor structured gig bag.It arrived just about an hour before this review!The Levy's has a plush interior compared to the Taylor's nylon taffeta; both are great, but my personal preference is the plush like what's found in my hard cases.Both the cases have double exterior pockets, heavy duty two-way zippers, high density waterproof Cordura exterior, and a structured padded architecture that promises excellent protection in a lightweight package. Levy's is famous for their leather guitar straps and you can see the quality appointments in the leather trim around the handle, straps, and badging. A great alternative to the hard case for daily carry to and from my lessons and performances. The Taylor case is great, but I have both Martin and Taylor guitars and by principle alone I have a hard time putting a Martin guitar in a case that says Taylor. It also was a little more expensive. This case fits my Taylor 414Ce, Taylor 352ce, Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe, Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe, and Martin 000-16 SR12 Custom Shop.
