It will protect the instrument from dust as much as possible, it is not suitable for anything else. The inside is crappy hundredths of mm thin nylon garbage, but at least the string foot and the tuning keys have reinforced parts inside the case. There is only a couple of centimeters of nylon junk at the lower strap buckle of the instrument. Bravo. Made in USA? Yes, of course. It's a one-for-one match to the older fender gig bag. Even the inscription made in china is sewn in the same place. A piece of junk with the SKB label.. It was expensive even when discounted, but I bought it with my stupid head, because I started from the skb hard case. It shouldn't have been... I can squeeze it with one hand so much that I can fit it into a children's shoe box.
