I just got mine. It's... uh... it's the best gig bag I've come across. I have to echo your review. I've had several, including others from Fender over the last.... 25 or so years (I am not old, I'm a high level character). This is the perfect combination of features and compromise. I've had thin, lightweight gig bags, convenient, but not enough protection. I had one of those roadrunner $120 monsters.... it was thicker than a hard case, PITA to haul around... the prime advantage of a gig bag is 'grab and go' convenience'. Here we hit the sweet spot. 20mm of protection. Semi hard case. It feels as or more protected than the monster RR, it's a snugger fit, less chance to rattle around... but it's still thin and light. So for my money, it's the perfect balance or protection and size/weight. Goldielocks zone. Hard rubber in the all the right places. Very comfortable handle and shoulder straps. Removable neck support is actually useful for bench work. Well thought out pockets for cables, tuners, strings, pics etc. I can fit my Spark Go in it easily... I can get literally everything I need for a gig into this bag (assuming I can plug my little go into the house PA). And it looks good. My guitar is Candy Red Burst with black plastic, so... the case matches actually. I found my perfect gig bag, but it seems they've been discontinued. Most major sellers are out of stock. I got mine from Sweetwater, shipped fast and they packed it better than some pack guitars. So I can easily recommend them. $60 still. This would be a great bag in the $120 range. I think it's better than a competing $120 gig bag I owned. Good job on the review, I agree completely and wanted to chime in with that agreement. Fender, Great case. I tip my hat to the design team. If this is discontinued, it's replacement had better be fantastic, because this is the best gig bag I've tried. Sweetwater, seriously stellar job packing this. If this is how you pack your gig bags.... The only way this could arrived damaged was if the truck carrying it caught fire... and even then, it might have made it. Fed Ex could have let angry drunk orangutans handle the box and it'd been fine.
Thank you excellent review. I've been doing a ton of research on this bag. Your video and explanations helped me feel comfortable ordering on line. FYI Musician's Friend Memorial Deal - got this for 59.99 - 10% = 53.99, May 30 2023)
I'll get the fe1225 bcs of the double times stronger polyester material. It will last longer and is stronger (1200 vs 600 denier poly). And also you get an extra neck pillow. And more extre stuff
I have one of these and I really find the shoulder straps are too low. It makes carrying the instrument kind of unstable. I have 2 Mono, PRS, Warwick and a Gibson. All of them have got the straps higher up, which makes it more stable. Though the Fender is very well built, but the straps are making it my least favorite bag
Thanks man I'm considering this one for my telecaster. After giving up buying a Mono Also thanks for the telling the meaning of 620 i was also considering 610 but now i know
I also got this bag, also left handed and I ended up removing just a bit of the foam from the headstock area because it just seemed so tight. Lol. I really like the bag though, I still wish they would just make gig bags for 25% of society....lefties are people too.
Not crazy about the design of large zipper bag. It zips all the way down, letting everything fall out. Strange decision. Should have either 1: added a net moving across the lower half of the compartment, or 2: left 3 inches or so of wall area (non-zip lined) so that the entire flap doesn't collapse over letting everything spill over.

Thanks for this review, I was undecided about getting this bag but now I will 😎👍
I was not sure if my Squier Affinity Tele was gonna fit. This showed me it does. Just ordered one. Thanks for the video.
Good review, thanks, just ordered one This confirmed that it will fit the Player Tele I just ordered.

Brotha, how can you compare the two… this is $60 and the 1225 is $140
Just received mine and I am verry happy with it!

I can see that. I do find the guitar to be pretty high above my head while walking around with it.
It would be good if you're riding the motorcycle then.
Thanks for the great review, I got one. Do you have any recommendations for acoustic bags? I've got a Taylor Academy 10e dreadnought
Thanks man I'm considering this one for my telecaster. After giving up buying a Mono
Also thanks for the telling the meaning of 620 i was also considering 610 but now i know
Thank you for this review, very helpful!
Thank you so much for the review
Thank you. Bought one based on your review👍
looks like the headstock is sticking above the protective padding. Does it even cover it?
Looks like left handed guitars don’t fit this case. That’s why it is fitting poorly.
I also got this bag, also left handed and I ended up removing just a bit of the foam from the headstock area because it just seemed so tight. Lol. I really like the bag though, I still wish they would just make gig bags for 25% of society....lefties are people too.
Great review, nice and detailed.
Check the olive EGT R Model gig bag better then padded and durability top notch.
Will the Jazzmaster fit?
Could it also be used for an epiphone les paul studio guitar? thank you
I bought to use it with Harley Benton HB-35 plus and it doesn't fit, the guitar is longer (higher) for about 4cm.
Hope this helps.
could it be used for a schecter omen elite 6 electric guitar
Will a strat fit in, thought starts were longer than teles?
wtf man why there is no place for allocate the partitures???
This IS A 625 no?
OK, so now the 625 looks like this, but it has more in the pocket, plus heel support.
Do you know its internal length? Curious , have Ibanez Rg 421
I just bought two for my super strats. 🥳
Best gigbag? NO it s a good gig bag for the price,the best Gig bag are The Mono Bag M-80 ,can t be compare,but the Fender FE620 is a excellent gigbag
At 350 euros, I should hope so. Your comment would be helpful if you compared like to like...
will it fit fs80c?
It’s a very small gig bag for my guitar
How much does this case weigh?

Now they’re 119.00 🤷🏼♂️
