And what I don't understand ... is why this simple topic, sparked such a prolonged discussion...
Use what 'ya want. But my point that these "gig bags " are forced on us ... is valid. There is no opportunity to delete it for cost. And if one wants , one pays the $200 or so dollars to buy a hard...
Dude... Gig bags suck compared to hard cases. If you had the misfortune to drop one of your guitars down a flight of steps, ? Or have it fall out your car ? Which would you rather have it be protected by ?
I buy hard cases for all my guitars. I just wish, manufacturers would stop padding...
HeyButLes :)
Its kinda hard to know how to take a statement like the one above ...Although by now, I know it is all in jest, and no offense meant / none taken ...
BUT ... I'm sure that you can see that there is an easy equation to be made here between say ... SE guitars or other cost...
Naw ... NObody buys horse sh!t when opting to buy the carefully considered cost effective solution, as opposed to the gilded lily plushie good that satisfies ego above all, while providing no other advantage over lower priced goods ...
Creating that reality where one purchase shows how much...
Now ... This is posted to show THE GUITAR, not the product the guy is demoing ...
And it may be better to turn off the sound, Just Look at the Guitar !!!
I came across this "Chords of Orion" guy in the heat of Baritone Madness awhile back as this "Ambient Guitar" is something he does with...

Shipped from Germany ...
Made of North American Ash ...
That if the Google info is accurate ... may have been grown ... in Chicago ! (most NA Ash comes from the NW US, and Illinois is a spot for that )
According to...
Point taken ...
But Les, If PRS (or others) were to offer a "Gig Bag Delete" option ...
How much do you think that would reduce price of the guitar ? The $105 bucks they list for ?
Naw ... something considerably less, if anything at all. But I would surely take that $100 bucks, as it would...

As I do not require a higher , industrial grade , commercial, can't afford to have stuff fail...

All the manufacturer in Taiwan /China/Pago Pago or wherever ...

Your comments on "One guitar, You run what you brung" ... (not your words ,but my protocol conversion !) are truly funny :)
