I like my gig bag, its a road runner and its never let me down.

I usually keep the strap on when I play, and I only put on the trem' bar when I wanna use it.

I'm a bit worried about keeping the strap on when its in the bag though because it might mess up my high gloss finish.

Whilst it's at home my main guitar sits on a stand and I only put the bar on if I'm using it. Strap is on all the time and strap locked.

If I move it anywhere it goes in a flightcase and stays there when not in use. I used to roadie for a PA hire company and for a few bands many years ago and I've seen too many accidents where guitars have had their headstocks sheared off whilst not in a proper case.

Cheers,
Tony
