Description:

The portable nature of the acoustic guitar plays a big part in its popularity. Obviously, providing appropriate protection for your guitar when moving it, is an important consideration. Up until now, guitar players have been faced with the choice of either a gig bag or a hard shell case for the protection of their instrument. The light weight of gig bags makes them easy to carry but they dont offer much in the way of impact resistance. Hard shell cases, on the other hand, provide better impact protection but are much heavier and awkward to carry. What every guitar player really wants is a case that combines the lightweight and convenience of a gig bag with the impact protection of a hard shell case. Seagull has found the answer when they became aware of a high-tech material called Neopolen P expanded polypropylene (EPP). This same material is widely used in automotive applications that require impact energy management. So they designed a new case using this amazing new material. The Fort Tric EPP case has redefined guitar protection and now you can enjoy the convenience of a lightweight caseat 2 ½ lbs this case is a mere ½ lb heavier than a gig bagwith impact resistance beyond that of the average hard shell case.

Nice, Balanced Bag for Carrying Your Guitar Mar 05, 2010
I received the case included with the purchase of my Seagull Artist Burst. Having had an expensive, heavy hard case for most of my life, the case was very different.

Good:
-Extremely light. The weight is comparable to a padded gig case, but still provides much more protection from impact.
-No hard edges. I put the guitar in the backseat and I've scratched up the inside/oustide my car from handling the hard case with metal hinges. This case is light and has no hinges, which mean it's easy on your car.

Bad:
-The internal compartment cover is a bit loose and cheap. I put my polish cloth below the neck to keep the cover closed.
-The guitar is a *bit* loose inside the bag. Not loose enough to knock the guitar around but it's not real tight like my old case.
-The canvas cover zipper is the only thing that's keeping the case closed. It's not air-tight enough to maintain the humidity.

Verdict:
Even though I listed three bad things and only two good things, I ended up selling my old, more expensive hard case and kept this one. The lightness and soft edges all around just over-weighed the bad by far. I highly recommend anyone to check out the case. For some people who are very meticulous about caring for their guitar, this case may not be for you. But for everyone else who needs to carry the guitar around in their car, this case is the best I was able to find so far.
