Ibanez PowerPad Designer IAB541 Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag - Beige

I'm a music student at university and the clunky, heavy case my guitar came with just wasn't cutting it. This has backpack straps and a side handle, and as needed I can loosen the straps enough to go over my backpack- great since I ride my bike to class whenever possible, and the switch to carrying down the halls of academic buildings so I like to carry it like a normal person. There's also a velcro strap for the neck inside the case so it's really secure, and there's a good chunk of protective foam along the bottom of the case and the side without the zipper so you case lean it against the wall upright, or lay it on its side. And, there's a little loop on the suede square I put my instrument tag on. Plus, there's a variety of pocket sizes so I can organize tools/spare parts and even fit loose music in there as needed. As if that's not enough, I love the trendy look and it has held up over a year now.

High quality gig bag with lots of place to store your stuff. Instrument is well protected with padding in all the right places and extra for those "dangerous" spots on the guitar. Well made and it doesn't look like it's going to start falling apart after a year or two. Certainly beats jsut a black bag - lots of compliments on how nice it looks.

So happy I bought this for my guitar. Plenty of space for extra gear but most importantly great protection for my instrument. Good looking case made from quality materials and stitched together. I am beyond pleased. Now I don't know about various model guitars that will or won't fit. Measure your guitar length width and thickness then look at product description and compare to inside dimensions. You won't be disappointed with this gig bag.

I have purchased other cheaper bags with poor quality zippers that broke rendering them to the trash.. I decided to buy a better bag for my Yamaha AC1R so I chose this bag. You cannot go wrong purchasing this bag for a quality instrument. Has very good quality internal foam protection and a stopping/bumper at the internal bottom to protect the bottom of your guitar. Just make sure you flip it up before you put the guitar in. The bag came in a box folded. You have to straighten the bag out and manipulate the foam within the skin to bring it back to form.. very attractive good product ..I recommend it and the zippers are quality.

First thing's first...when I initially received my order in the mail, I wasn't too happy. Instead of receiving the IAB541BK, they sent me the IBB541...which is for an electric guitar. However, Amazon's customer service rep was amazing and I received just what I ordered 2 days later free of charge :)Now having the correct bag for my acoustic, I'm just about in love with this thing. It houses my Yamaha dreadnought guitar comfortably. The four pockets are great, I'm carrying a Snark tuner, capo, notebook, guitar cable, 2 sets of extra strings (in their boxes), a winder for changing strings and several back up batteries in 3 of the pockets with room still available for more stuff (and that's not including my iPad I'll store in the largest pocket). I've heard mixed opinions of the padding, so I'll give you my run down and hopefully in the end, with my given pics, it'll help you decide if this bag is for you or not.So padding...the padding in the side wall and bottom of the bag (the perimeter of the bag covered in the tan suede) has adequate 15mm thickness to protect your baby pretty well. I already knocked it into a wall on accident while testing it out with my guitar inside of it, not a scratch. Now the remaining side of the bag (along the zipper where you take your guitar out) is the only thing I'm unhappy about with this bag. It has me wondering why in the world Ibanez thought every other surface of your guitar needed that 15mm padding EXCEPT for this side, as if the zipper itself will protect your guitar.I read another review of someone else's and the said they wished Ibanez added a rubber protector pad or pads on the base of the bag for protection....well they kinda did but without compromising the exterior beauty. You'll see in one of my pics, it's an interior shot of the base of the bag, there is an additional 10mm thick padding that you just fold down so as long as its folded down and your guitar is in it, it'll rest on 25mm (15mm + 10mm) which gives your guitar ample base protection (I really love this feature). Another loved feature is the interior strap that secures the neck of your guitar...kudos. The padding of the front and back portions of your guitar are pretty nice too. I don't believe it's as thick as the 15mm side and bottom, but my guess is it's at least 10mm which is substantial.The colors look exactly like they do in person as they do in the advertised pics. Only thing I'd say is look into some kind of stain repellent to preserve the look of the suede. Also, the zippers are a sturdy metal which is great too. As you can see in the pics, the zipper you open to access your guitar does not fully unzip like some bags, allowing your guitar to drop out. On the top and bottom portions, it's zips about half way across those surfaces (so don't try to force it, duh).So in a nutshell the only reason I'm not giving this beauty a 5 star rating, is because of the lack of padding on the long zippered edge, loss some points with me on that. Other than that piece, it's all grade A.

I bought this for my husband as a gift. He uses it constantly and loves it. He says it's so much more convenient than the hard case that he had used previously. If he's happy, I'm happy. Looks great, and so far is holding up well.

I think is great for the price. It protects very well my guitar (obviously not like a hard-shell case would) and it's comfortable to carry around. Like the zipper bags at the front, they are a good size for me.

Great case. Good quality. Padded throughout. I like the pockets. I can fit my laptop in it. Straps are sturdy. I have a toddler who has knocked my guitar over while in this case, no damage to either. Worth the money.
