Fender FE610 E-Guitar Gig Bag

It seems to be built well and like it will last a long time although I can't attest to that yet. It looks great and is comfortable enough if you carry it backpack mode. The straps have metal clips on the bottom that you can detach but they are sewn in at the top so I'm not sure what's the point, they serve no purpose but it doesn't get in the way either. Maybe it's just for style points. In any case there is padding but not too much. It's good if you're just walking, taking public transport or traveling by car; just to protect the guitar from minor bumps and scratches and frankly I'd say that's what it's designed for. It's a tight fit but my 22 fret ST guitar fits without issue. I had a bit cheaper bag before and materials and quality on this one are definitely a class above so I'd say the price is justified. The front pocket has compartments for picks and similar small bits as well as space for a cables, tuners, capos, repair kits and so on but an A4 notebook will not fit due to the triangular shape, you will have to put it behind the guitar if you want to fit it in this bag.

From what I understand, this is pretty much the same gig bag as the FEJ610, which is a little bit larger, so as to fit Jaguars and Jazzmasters (hence the extra letter “J” in the latter's product code). The main difference I noticed (other than the size of course) is that the inside of the front pocket is red on this one, whereas it is black on the J version. I would not dare say that the quality is perfect, but for the price, this gig bag is surprisingly nice. The zipper is much better quality than on some other similarly priced gig bags, and the shoulder straps are very comfortable. The only downside is that the pocket does not accomodate an A4-size notebook.
