I'm not gigging, but I'm transporting my new SG once a week for rehearsals and this case feels like it's gonna keep my instrument safe for those 30 minutes a week in the back of my car. Built like it's able to induce trust in me more than a gig-bag I have for my bass and second guitar. Also, very light. Sturdy at the same time. Not much room inside for stuff though. There's a little compartment behind your guitar's headstock and lower neck but it's not closeable so your risk getting your guitar's neck scratched. It's good value for the price to me, would recommend this for an amateur, and I'd keep it if I were a semi-pro.
