"I am excited about my “Reunion Blues Gig Bags and Cases”. I use my Continental Voyager acoustic guitar and five string banjo cases for my national, as well as international touring. They are lightweight and durable and I trust these cases with any instrument I own, at any given value. Thanks Reunion Blues!"
