These are the original Glenn Cronkhite-designed guitar bags. Some of the 1970s era bags are still in use today! Made in the USA using only the finest “Top Grain” leathers and durable 1680D ballistic nylon fabrics, you can be assured that your guitar is well protected in a well made bag.
Features That Set Our Bags Apart:
Top Grain Leather:
We use Top Grain leather, the most desired and durable leather available.
Competitors use “corrected” or “sanded” grain because they get a better yield per hide, but it’s intended to fail. Unlike “corrected” or “sanded” grain, our Top Grain bags are built to age naturally, allowing them to thrive through decades of gigs and thousands of road miles.
1680D Cordura Nylon:
Our Corudra bags are made from heavy 480 GSM-weight 1680D nylon. This fabric is unmatched for abrasion resistance, water-resistant, easy to clean, and the tightest weave you can buy. Not all 1680D’s are created equal. The 480 GSM stat is a critical quality benchmark.
Stitching
Threads are the MOST important part of a bag. We use Tex-138 polyester thread which resists acids from your hands and other sources, and is also unaffected by UV rays from the sun (competitors use Nylon thread which fails in both of these areas). Our thread is made in the USA by American & Efird — no exceptions — and there is simply no better thread available.
YKK Zippers
We use branded #10 YKK RC coil zippers, a specialty zipper made to survive over many years of use. Plus, we have designed zipper protection into our bag, adding a 12” leather strip to the lower bout which covers the zipper from scuffs and scratches.
Straps and Handles:
Each bag comes with a main handle as well as sling or backpack-style straps. Our straps are 2″ wide and include rubberized strips on the underside that prevent the straps from sliding off your shoulder. The strap hardware is brass-plated steel, and all connection points are reinforced with both rivets and stitching to guarantee the straps do not break and do not deform the exterior of your case over time. Padded shoulder straps are an optional upgrade (available under “Accessories”).
Rivets and Hareware:
We use brass plated steel rivets with a steel reinforcement washer for extra strength. Each rivet is set behind a line of 2mm stitching, which means that the rivet will not experience any weight or stress until the thread gives out. This technique distributes the weight of the instrument over a larger area than just a rivet and prolongs the life of your bag.
Eternal storage:
Each Glenn Cronkhite Guitar Bag comes with a large utility pocket on the outside, large enough to hold cords, pedals, tuners, an iPad, and more.
Warranty:
Every case that leaves our shop is built to last for decades, and we stand by that quality.
If something goes wrong with your case in the first 10 years, we will fix it with no questions asked and pay to ship it back to you. If you’re outside of the 10 year window, we offer a reasonable repair service (see our “Services” tab on the homepage for more information).
