PRODUCT REVIEW
by James Egolf
Every once in a while a product comes
along that’s such a good idea that you
wonder why it hasn’t been around forever; the ProStageGear PS-GFC flight case/
gig bag combo is one such idea. Brought
to you by the same folks that make the
similarly well thought out Pedal Train
pedalboards, the PS-GFC allows frequent
flyers the protection of a flight case along
with the convenience of a gig bag once at
the destination – a feat of duality rivaling
that of a Charms Blow Pop.

PS-GFC
to use with multiple guitars, something
not afforded with traditional flight cases.
The flight case has many thoughtful
touches including lockable latches, reinforced corners and rollers on one edge
facilitating use as a pull-along, making
the walk from the car to the skycap that
much easier. The gig bag is, well, a gig
bag, offering adequate protection from
the elements as well as minor dings and
scratches, with its dual shoulder strap
layout affording convenient and comfortable transport.
The concept behind the PS-GFC is simple: a flight case with a larger than usual
instrument cut-out, allowing enough room
for a gig bag, ensuring that if your guitar
fits in the gig bag it can ride safely all the
way to Barbados. Once there, the bulky
case can be left at the hotel and the gig
bag can be taken to the cruise ship gig,
making shuttle and taxi rides a piece of
cake. This unique design also lends itself
The timing of the PS-GFC couldn’t be
better. With today’s ever changing and
inconsistent airport security regulations,
placing your gig bag in the plane’s wardrobe closet is no longer a reliable option.
This is where the ProStageGear PS-GFC
shows its worth as a cleverly executed
way to make sure your guitar reaches its
destination safely.
