Worthy Gig Bag for Around $100 - $125

[erokit]

Recent post arguing gig bags vs. HSC's. Some mention of quality gig bags. Looking for recommendations for a gig bag worthy of my latest CL find (Fender JB with active EQ).

Many thanks!

Body glove. Cheaper than most of the premium bags like iGig and Mono but protects very well. Has some storage but not like the more expensive ones. IMHO the best overall buy is the Pro-Tec by Contego. Superb protection and lots of storage. A little pricier than the Body Glove. My fave regardless of price is iGig.

A Warwick Rockbag should be fine.

I have a Gator Sling for my guitars. Nice, and wasn't too much $$. A little thin, but I may just be being paranoid . . .

I can vouch for erokit on the Contego, I have one and it's pretty well appointed for the money.
IGIG has a bag that looks like the old incase bags for about $120.

The best gig bag in your price range is easily the Levy's CM19L. It is exactly like their nice leather bags, same padding inside, same dimensions, etc. but uses canvas rather than leather with leather accents and trim. I've had one for 15 years and it's still as good as new, and I use it all the time. It protects really well and is comfortable to have along. The only place I could find online that had them for sale is this link:

Scroll down and you'll see it as the second option on that page for $109, no picture. It seems like everyone else is trying to sell just the LM19 models...same darn bag, but all leather and, therefore, pricier. The CM19L will provide the same utility and protection at a fraction of the cost. I would bet any Levy's dealer could order the CM19L, so go get it done. Don't waste your money on something else...you will be blown away by this bag and it WILL hold up over time.
