Great news from Summit! We've have new manufacturing partners. We are really happy with the new stock. The quality of construction is excellent, and we also have been given the opportunity to lower our prices to you. We've also decided to only work with a select group of dealers. If you don't find a dealer nearby, you are welcome to purhcase at our internet store.

Four New Models for the Faithful: Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Mid-Size Acoustic & Dreadnought Case Cover.

They're here! At long last our three new bags & case cover arrived on the auspicious date of April 15th. In between filing tax forms & dodging freak hailstorms, we spent many a long hour at our warehouse south of Seattle. What a pleasure it was to fill so many back orders from pros, our retailers, and patient online cyber-citizens alike. You wouldn't believe how long a forklift & full container can make your week.

Electric GuitarThe new EG303B Electric Guitar & BG203B Bass Guitar bags boast what we feel are the most innovative (& useful) features in the industry. Coupling our protective Instrument Forward Design™ (a standard feature on all Summit Guitarpacks) with our all-new InTact & InTune™ Cushioning System takes these updated bags into a new realm. From the re-designed profile to the new metal hardware these bags look as good as they feel. We honestly believe you'll feel more confident with your axe riding in a Summit Guitar Pack than any other gig bag out there. Try one out and you'll no doubt believe that they are indeed: Gig Bags Like NO Other!

Mid-Size AcousticOur updated FG203B Mid-Size Acoustic bag picks up where our previous classical bag left off. With the proliferation of smaller bodied guitars available today, we re-sized our more traditional classical bag adding additional length & a slimmer silhouette to accomodate up to 000 guitars. New metal hardware, softer interior fabric, an extra shoulder strap, & rugged, bar tack stitching at all major stress points complete the picture. We're constantly listening to & incorporating ideas from our loyal customers and the FG203B is just another case in point.
You wanted features & security? You got 'em.

Dreadnought Case Cover-BackpackThe all-new DC103B Dreadnought Case Cover-Backpack is the latest example of Summit's "call & response" relationship with our customers. People know a good thing when they see it. The problem is that it doesn't always fit. This was the story with our popular CC102B Classical Case Cover-Backpack & dreadnought players. When the "dread-heads" saw what we had for their fingerstyle brethren, they demanded a model of their own. And thus was born the newest of the Summit brood. To up the ante we've added an innovative zipper design that keeps the cover clear when closing your case, rugged metal hardware, & ultra-reinforced stitching. Summit portability & features come together with your hard shell case.

Here is the Banjo Newsletter review by Tom Adams:

Product Review by Tom Adams 07-02-02
Banjo Gig Bag (Summit Guitar Pack BJ102B Banjo)
"Pick one up...a winner every time...you can't beat it." Now I'll admit I stole this catchy phrase from a barker at the Rubber Ducky booth at last evening's Gettysburg firemen's carnival ­ but I think it perfectly sums up Summit Guitar Pack's banjo gig bag.

For professional musicians, weekend warriors and parking lot pickers who've asked themselves "Why am I lugging this flight case around when I haven't flown with it in six months?" Summit Guitar Pack has the answer. A steel re-enforced frame and instrument forward design shields the bridge and head. Thick foam inserts hug the resonator and support the neck. The fabric is 600 denier water resistant material. All this protection from a case that weighs less than a stack of your grandma's fluffy cat-head biscuits.

You can carry it full backpack style, or stow the backpack straps and snap on the shoulder strap for quick over-one-shoulder carry style. If you're feeling nostalgic about the behemoth you've left at home, there's even a "traditional" heavy-duty handle on the side. Tuner, mini-disc, microphone, tab paper, flashlight, pencils, strings, maps, travel alarm, cash for those must-have limited edition Vernon Derrick combs; the large capacity detachable gear bag can handle all of it.

Next time you're at a festival, forget all those questions about tone rings and string gauges, and ask to see your favorite picker's Summit gig bag. Something I forgot to mention? See your local dealer or www.guitarbackpack.com 800-236-8830.

If you are a current dealer have a look at the Retailers section and ensure that your shop is on our list. Then verify that your shop's information is complete and correct. You can send your updated information to:
