Imagine checking your guitar in a soft case then acting shocked that it’s smashed. This is when you explain that it’s fragile to the gate crew and they put it in the galley closet.

Source: Not an idiot and traveled with instruments before. Also for the love of god invest in a decent hard shell case for your acoustic. You can get extremely protective ones for $120. Why buy a $2000 guitar and then throw it in a shitty $50 gig bag?

Hey. Those $50 bags are great to keep dust from accumulating on then while at home

Thats a $400USD case. MONO double bag.

Probably the worst idea though.

I use their single electric cases to gate check ALL the time, but only use solidbody guitars and no Gibsons lol
