Default Gig bag for 14 Fret Parlor Guitar

I am looking for a padded gig bag for my new Alvarez 14 fret Parlor Guitar. Although it has a parlor size body, it is pretty long at 40" overall length. It is not a very expensive guitar at about $400 so I don't want to spend too much on a gig bag. I would like it to have some decent padding. Any suggestions?

I have one that used to fit mine. I’ll take a look at it later and let you know what one it is.

Alvarez sells branded gig bags.

Any gigbag intended for a classical guitar should fit a 14 fret parlor, so long as it isn’t Gibson’s Triple O-sized “parlor.”

I have a small Access One gig bag that I use for a 12-fret Alvarez, but it has plenty of room at the top, so a 14-fret should be fine too. I like the bag a lot.

The Boulder Alpine 00 is an excellent gig bag and fits my Alvarez Parlor perfectly. Elderly sells these for $70, I’ve bought a couple over the years.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to do a little homework to figure out which one of the suggested gig bags is best.

I have a Gator that I used for an Indiana Madison. The guitar has a smaller body but has a length of 40 3/4 inches.

Sweetwater has them on sale for $30.

Though all of my guitars are now in hard cases I still use the Gator gig bag when I take more then one guitar to a jam. It makes things so much easier to carry.

I use Access 1 or Access 3. The reunion blues mentioned above is a great case but so, so big it’s bigger than a standard case (though lighter).

I decided to get the Access 1 Small body acoustic gig bag. Nice bag and it fits the guitar very well.
