BEST Gig-bag for a dread?

[popguy]

I bought a gig bag for my Guild D-25 several years ago at Sam Ash.

Paid like $69.00 for it. Lots of padding but I really hated the thing. Don't remember the brand.

Had to stuff it in there and it was a battle for me to just close the zipper around the guitar and all the padding.

I would like a light gig bag where I can take the guitar out and put it in without struggling to close the zipper. Need some good padding but I'm not shipping it or taking on an airplane or anything.....just to carry around town to gigs etc.

The new gig-bag would be for my new used Masterbilt DR-500MCE

I like the way Taylor bags look....would that work?

PS want to spend less than $70

Or does anyone have an even better recommendation?

Thanks All!

I got the Gator gig bag from Sweetwater for $25. It's pretty fantastic, especially for the price. It's lightly padded. One big pocket. Smooth and easy zipper. Shoulder strap. I bought it when I ordered my DR-500MCE. Returned the guitar but kept the bag cause I liked it so much. It fits the Epi really well. Zipper closes easily around it.

I also use a Gator bag for my dreadnought and ukulele. Best bag I've came across so far. Their cheap and have pretty good padding. Obviously its not indestructible but it serves its purpose.

I like Levy's -- they are high quality with good padding and plush interiors. I really like this one that is pretty reasonably priced at Walmart, of all places...

Thanks....I will go for the Gator I think.
