I have really bad Fender Telecaster Custom lust right now.
So I have been window shopping and its wild that you spend over $1000 on a guitar and they want to give you a gigbag instead of a hardcase with your purchase. When the hell did that change (says the guy that has bought most of his guitars from people in person)?
To each their own. If I bought a guitar and it came with a hard case, that case is going promptly into the closet and the guitar into a gigbag. That's locational though...dont have a car, dont wanna walk a mile to practice holding a case.
I think for me it is a matter of spending X and getting a $30 bag that isn't sitting right with me. I have a good bag much like what Tyler mentioned and if I am running around back and forth from practice that is what I would use, it fits pretty much any guitar. BUT, if/when I move or tour, I want the option of a hardcase that will protect better. Once all guitars and basses have hardcases and I end up with more hardcases I would probably just sell them as they are more valuable than a bag and buy a pedal or new cables or something.
