If you think about it, a dread bag is quite deep, and you only need the bag to flex 1/2" around the body bindings. But you should definitely try it first. Contact a sales rep at Sweetwater, they may give you a return option if you ask.
If I can find a colleague near me with a 17" archie, I'll see how it fits in the acoustic compartment of my dual bag.
