Its always a problem putting expensive instruments at risk in gig bags /semi rigid cases. I always use the cases provided by the makers for my Taylor/Lakewood/ovation and the banjos. Problem may be that each have the name of the guitar somewhere on the case and I think that this may be a security risk in itself. I am always reluctant to take my "Best" instruments to festivals for this reason, but feel that I dont give of my best when using cheaper instruments. Still, its a question of taking, or not, the risk.
