Does ur guitar equipment fit in the Z?

So does this forum have Z enthusiasts who are also guitarists?

Just wondering if anyone has had issues fitting a 30Watt amp, a Boss GT-6 or similar sized processor box and electric guitar (standard hard case) in the car? I'm guessing the guitar leans vertically on the front seat, the amp sits on the front seat or so and the processor goes in the hatch..

Not sure if its a good idea to keep the amp in the hatch? It would touch the glass.

Without measurements on the amp I cannot answer this question.

You can put the amp in the hatch with no issues. The distance between the two shock towers is approximately 20.5". If you slide the amp all the way forward until it touches the front of the hatch area by the crossbar, you will be fine and not touch the glass at all. The depth of the hatch all the way at the back is about 8". Placing the amp here will leave you room behind it for effects, etc. A small form fitting case, like my Tele Nocaster case will fit in this area as well.......... a Les Paul case might fit also, headstock area tucked into the recess at the rear fender area. A rectangular Strat or Tele or Fender bass case will not, if the amp is back there. I would do as you suggested, place the case in the front, one end resting on the floorboard and leaning against the seat. Another option, pull the front passanger seat forward enough to place the case behind the seat.

Of course if I keep the current 4 seater ride then there's no problem at all...
I'm still deciding on that though.

antennahead: thanks for your reply, its good to know that things should work out.

I can fit my VHT 1X12 along with an RP1000, guitar stands, and my gig bag in the rear hatch area. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a good way to also fit two guitars and an amp stand in the car without major risk of damage to the car or obstructing my view.

So it looks like I'll be keeping my Durango for awhile...

I play a mint condition 1979 Mesa Boogie, head and 1x12 cab, so it fits fine along with my guitar and effects case. Where are the roadies with the truck , I want to drive my sports car to the gig
