Official Luthiers Forum!

I'm considering buying a Travelite case just for toting around town. They're made with a rigid foam. Weight is a huge issue for me right now, so I'm looking at these as a small step up from a gig bag. For "real" cases, I've been in touch with Ameritage. The Travelite would be for my own use, with the realization that it wouldn't replace a hard case.

Any input appreciated!

I have one of the Wings Deluxe Gig Bags that I use for carrying my guitar around locally, to the Ren Fest, practice, etc. It is a Dreadnought Bag, but it also works fine for a classical. It has over 1" of dense foam padding, everywhere, and the pockets have lots of room to carry other stuff, footstool, music, whistles, music stand, guitar stand, etc., all at the same time. Here is a link to one

I have used the Travelite from Saga for a few customers. They are very light and quite acceptable for 'round the house use. Their biggest weakness would be puncture resistance, as there is no rigid "skin".
The price is very attractive too.
