    Greetings:

    Somewhere I have seen a post about gig bags for larger archtops. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks for your help.

    In my case i can use a normal classical guitar gig bag for it. It would be better a bigger more padded one. But the normal one fits.

    Indeed the Gator Jumbo. I bought one in the past year and it easily fits my Heritage GE and like all dreadnoughts. It was way cheaper than the Mono bag. I think I bought it from Sweetwater. It depends though on how you are intending to use it. Probably not for air travel or real heavy use. I use it to get to jams and walking around music camps. Should work fine at it's price point.

    I strongly recommend that you keep an expensive archtop guitar in a strong hard case. I could search for and post pictures of fine guitars that were crushed in gig bags, but I'm not going to.

    The flattop Yamaha acoustic guitar that I bought in 2022 came with a surprisingly high-quality gig bag that just happens to fit my 16" archtop perfectly.

    Not sure if they're sold seperately, but worth checking into.

    Most jumbo flattop (J-200 etc) bags will fit a 17" archtop nicely. Just check the interior length. Many archtops have longer headstocks.

    I just bought the banjo version of that for my Richeliu jazz plectrum. Cross between a hard case and a gig bag, great lightweight protection.
