Default Gig bag for X-20

I ordered my X-20 with the hard case. In rethinking that, I'm wanting a gig bag now. It's probably not worth getting one from Emerald, with the international shipping, plus I'm not a big fan of the branding and color scheme. I prefer something a bit more subtle.

So what is out there that will fit my X-20? Is it just a standard dreadnaught size that will work? Any suggestions? A couple of generous pockets for cables and accessories would be a plus.

Given Emerald's unique shape, I think your best move is to go to a store that carries a bunch of cases and make sure it fits and meets your needs protection-wise...

Mono M80 classic and Vertigo in Dreadnought size. Expensive though!

My Access stage 2 small guitar bag worked perfectly for my X20. Call or email and they can include a neck pillow that isn’t(or wasn’t) standard. Mine flew every week and never an issue, but it wasn’t checked. If wanting more protection and weight isn’t the biggest concern the stage 3 looks awesom.

I just tried it in my gig bag that came with my Eastman E2-OM and it fits. It slides around a little, so it's not a perfect fit, but at least that tells me an OM/OOO size bag will work.

I bought three gig bags and settled on the Protec Deluxe Dreadnought bag. It fits the X20 well and has good storage pockets.
